Any new 1700mm or bigger planes coming soon ?

[Shirty]

I just don't understand it. There a stack of spittys already available by different manufacturers at 1200mm or less. Why add another one in a already competitive market? Now try finding a foamy spitfire at 1400mm or bigger. Apart from the fms one (which I wouldn't fly if one was given to me), there's nothing.

I don't get it, produce yet another 1200 in a flooded little 1200 or smaller model market, or produce something in the larger scale - that has no competition whatsoever for customers dollars? Like most of you, I fly at a big club, and Perth is the 3rd windiest city in the world. A 1200 is great for a little park I guess, but where's the models for the serious RC flyers? Surely the success of the p38 shows there's a heap of people that buy them. (If fms wasn't already enough of a example)

Don't mind me boys, Just a bit disappointed. Been waiting for a nice big scale spitty for literally years now.... And still nothing... :(

For what it's worth Shirty, we feel your pain. Manufacturers are gun shy when it comes to the costs of producing larger molds. The smaller class are cheaper to produce AND they sell boat loads. This is why the success of the FlightLineRC P-38 is so helpful to show the manufacturers how popular the larger class can sell as well, especially when it's a classic AND done right.

Speaking as myself and not on any official record coming from Motion RC, keep the hope alive, I have a good feeling we will see a larger Spit in the future.

I just bought a 5x10 enclosed cargo trailer tonight. I want bigger foamy planes! :D

I am hoping Freewing follows up the P-38 with a 1600mm P-61 and A-26. It seems to be the perfect size for these big twins

I'll go on record to say that I'll buy any 1700mm+ U.S. Warbirds that MRC releases...and maybe a few Allied and Axis depending on the plane, Spitfire and ME-262 for sure.

I'm with you guys!
I'm holding out for the 1400mm or bigger planes. If its smaller, in my mind, I hear, "Yes, but..."
Maybe we'll see a 1400mm Bearcat yet, or a Hurricane.
Anyone ever thought of the CF-105, better known as the Avro Arrow? The first plane to do mach 2?
A jet that was so far ahead of its time, that politics got in the way and The Defenbaker government of Canada had them destroyed and bought the Bowmarc Missle System instead. A move they came to regret.
Ahh, now that would get to some people, just to have one in the air.
Think it wasn't political, after they made the movie about it (Starring Dan Ackroyd) they wanted to chop up the full scale mock up they used, but fortunately, a museum got ahold of it before hand.

An interesting plane.

I'm not much on post WWII planes but I would definitely be interested in a Corsair II.

[Aros]

My 1700MM+ short wish list:

F4U-1A Corsair (wing fold)
Ju 87 Stuka
P-38G Lightning
Spitfire MK IX
BF-109G
B-17G
P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback

[crxmanpat]

My short list for something 1700mm or better:

P-39
P-51B
OV-10
F-4U

[Shirty]

I'll settle for 1400 or greater:

Spitfire, wildcat, 109-G, f4u. :) please, spitty first. ;)

[OV10]

I'll settle for 1/8 scale(1400 or greater) OV-10, OV-1, A-4 cause these Nam birds need to be recognized and then seconded by a P-39, Spitfire and a 5 blade Sea Fury.

the wife is a travel nurse so we travel around the south most of the year in a motorhome....as much as I like the 1400mm planes I just cant fit them very well in the rv...and the bad thing is I have the sickness,,i must have all the airplanes I can get hold of lol....give me a 1200 A1 and id be happy :) ...but I know no one is making one right now....1100 and 1200mm planes fit so well into my plan of total airplane domitation

btw OV10 I see u have the freewing A6...have u had any problems with the landing gear at all? I picked mine up one day and the right main just fell off :) bought all 3 gear and so far too lazy to replace old gear and the plane is at home thank goodness

The only issue that I've had is with the nose gear oleo sticking on compression but that is because our runways are grass and those smaller front tires really spin up some dirt so I keep the oleo lubed with silicone quite frequently. As a matter of fact, I silicone all my birds oleo's on a regular basis anymore along with checking them after every flight to ensure that the retaining/stop screw or pin is good.

And Ron, one other thing that Charlie has that you might want to consider..................a trailer for his planes....ewwwww!

U BETCHA Dan, since I'm not hauling and repairing Shovelhead Harleys on the side anymore it makes for a great rolling hangar for Warbird's fleet when going to an out of state event.

[Grossman56]

I'm trying to figure out how to persuade the wife to let me get one, the only way to go!

Sunrise flight of my 1700mm Ferocious Frankie today. Love this bird! Pardon the unbalanced prop...had a ground strike on my first flight due to a cross wind mistake.
Anyway, what a beautiful sunrise today here in N. Texas.
