What's next from Motion RC?

[jasmith41]

We were talking around the field today about what we would like to see and one plane stood out.

T-38
Ship it with NASA or thunderbirds livery without the decals attached and you have a beautiful base for customization in a single sku.

Also NASA T38s are wicked cool

80mm please

they already have the F5... do that conversion...
that one is a handful though. i got mine b/c it was 80mm and at the time, the largest fan i'd flown and i coonsidered the f5 a trainer and i wasn't disappointed - it has trained me on a lot of things, but mostly on why i should fly her... and then i thought, i'll just drop this xfly fan in it to see how fast i can fly out of control...
i only taake it to the field when i feel like being punished...

if you want mine, let me know and i'll ship it to you...

Count me in, but a Flightline 2000mm B-17 would be nice, while you're at it why not a Flightline 1600mm Zeke would work, too. Best, LB

My folks visited Harlingen Air Field back in the day and brought me a CAF calendar and T shirt which I cherished. Rag Wings and Heavy Iron by Martin Caiden still graces my bookshelf, a great story on the CAF.

Do you mean Marvel comics "pretend", fantasy airplane? Here's the closest thing to it ............................

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/98RH0k5cRbA

"Fully functional, large and fast" .......................... Are you prepared to pay $3000.00 per copy for something that'll fly for a few minutes at a time? I doubt Freewing would be willing to make something that costs that much. Rene was going to sell them but at that price, he couldn't sell enough to make it worth his while. Wishing and dreaming is fun but then reality nails you square in the bank account.
Some of their planes are approaching a thousand bucks. Once that happens, the marketplace will shrink to miniscule proportions. It's unlikely that Motion/Freewing are so quick to ring the death bell.

Can i have the SU-57...? I'd settle for that...🤣🤣🤣

I actually have a book on the making of he movie that I've had since I was a kid, Connie is mentioned in it as a member of the Confederate Airforce. Didn't seem to have too much to say about the Commemorative Airforce though. Anyway, great to see that they all went to good homes and will enrich the Warbird community. Pretty strange to see the same planes you can plainly pick out in the movie sitting in pieces.
Sorry guys, getting off topic.Grossman56

GM, as a past "Confederate Air Force" member in good standing, the name was "suggested" to be changed to 'Commemorative' for all the wrong reasons, but there you have it. I was a member in good standing in the "Commemorative AF" for the record, But alas, that was a long time ago, in a life far far away.. Best, LB

[Grossman56]

It would have been a 'so that's where I put them' moment!

Actually, the picture is of a Spanish Buchon, a Spanish manufactured ME (Bf) 109G with a Rolls Royce engine as they ran out of DB601's. A bit of history, one of the pilots who flew with the Battle of Britain movie company took a number of Spits and Buchons to Texas in lieu of wages. Interesting video and articles

It's amazing how many of y'all keep misspelling BF-109...

[nuts-n-volts]

Yes indeed... a big wide scale prop! ...on a nice big Dora!

[Coconut]

How about something with a prop on it!


Grossman56

Be careful, they might say look at BlackHorse or Nexa. Just like me, I think Grossman56 means FLIGHTLINE. Well, there is HobbyKing. Even though I would rather have something from FlightLine.

X-29 (90mm)

All as large as possible...

I'm glad HK is bringing out some nice warbirds since Flightline got discontinued . Flightline was suppose to have a series of hand toss warbirds, but only the Mustang and Dora was produced. Thank you HK for the Lucky Gallon Corsair.
