From Flightline, specifically. At the risk of getting run out of town with torches and pitchforks, I'm curious if the direction FL is headed is towards the larger models exclusively? I realize there are a lot of guys that want bigger and bigger planes, and I'm probably in the minority wanting something smaller. I admire Motion, Flightline, and even FMS for listening to the guys that want big planes, and building them. By all accounts, the bigger planes are very popular, and selling well. I rode the wave, and purchased the 1600mm P-38. It's a fantastic plane, and I have no regrets. That said, it's not getting much flight time, as I have to swap cars with my wife for the day, and drive a good distance to a "real" field to fly.
I have a local field that is half a mile away. I throw a couple of 800's and either my 980mm P-40 or 1030mm Staggerwing in my car, and fly a couple times a week, at least. The 800's are fun, but I really love the detail, features, and stability of the 980 and 1030. They are also a lot more economical, and I don't have to buy very expensive batteries.
I would love to see more warbirds in the 1000-1100mm range, that can fly on the cheap and plentiful 2200 3S batteries. I really don't want to turn this thread into a debate about "bigger is better". I get that most folks love and want more of the 1600-2000mm planes. Unfortunately for me, I can't afford them, don't have room to store them, and have a hard time transporting them. Is there any chance that Flightline is looking at turning out some smaller planes as well???
Thanks!
