Boeing YL-15:
Northrup-Grumman HO3:
Yeah, I kind of lean towards the quirky.
My coworker today was asking if anyone made RC models of the Pogo or the "Flying Pancake." I found a couple of YouTube videos to show him tomorrow.Comment

YL-15 would be interesting. The HO3 name reminded me of something I’d love to see made now that Motion is carrying the Roban Helis; a Korean War era Sikorsky HO3S-1 rescue helicopter. One of the first generation of combat helos, and a machine that saved the lives of many pilots. And it was a star of the film Bridges at Toko-Ri.Comment

I did find online plans for the YL-15.
For Helis, I'd love to see the Kaman Huskie produced. I've seen some nice videos of models that I can only assume were scratchbuilt by talented craftspeople.Comment

For warbirds I would love to see a BF-109G, F4U-1D, P-51D, Stuka and P-38 all in the 2+ Meter class. Super Scale.
Jets in 90-105mm Super Scale, the F-22, F-18C.
70-80mm Twin Super Scale: Concorde, B-1, B-2, SR-71.

I'm still waiting on a good 1400mm O-2 Skymaster. Something to go with my 1400mm 182. Of course if it came right after a 1500mm OV-10, that would be okay with me. For something big from Flightline, I think a 2000+mm C-130 might be a big hit. They've been around forever, are everywhere and used for just about everything from gunship to firefighting. The C-130 would really lend itself to customization and neat paint schemes.
As for jets, I'd like to see a nice T-38. I realize after the F-5, that may be unlikely. I'd also like to see some civilian jets like a Lear or Citation, large enough to have LG that isn't afraid of grass runways.2 PhotosComment

Ya know a Talon would be nice. I've actually always wanted one of those. In regards to the C-130, fact is there is a gaping hole here. This should have been done already. IMO the industry isn't using it's head.I'm still waiting on a good 1400mm O-2 Skymaster. Something to go with my 1400mm 182.

PS If any prospective developers are considering this plane, make sure you get the flaps right! The actual plane will take off and land in a pretty incredibly short space. Could you imagine flying in snowy weather with one of these with the Arctic Landing Configuration?
instead of using a PBY LOL.Comment

I agree a C130 would be great,just make it at least 2000mm otherwise the scale landing gear would be too small for grass fields.

The C-130 would have so much potential, as you could do the "Fat Albert" paint scheme for the Blue Angels support plane, you could do the WC-130 used by the Hurricane Hunters out of Keesler AFB (at least, that's where they were stationed when I went to Tech School MANY years ago), AC-130 gunships, KC-130 refueling planes, the Combat Control (or ECM? Not sure...) 130's they fly out of Davis-Monthan AFB here (photo included), in conjunction with the A-10's, and so on. Like the DC-3/C-47 before it, the C-130 has proven itself an extremely versatile and durable aircraft, and it really should have better representation in the RC world.
