    Don't forget the first "AND" in my earlier post:

    "Starting right now, if anyone posts here and correctly articulates the correlation between the project name and the secret aircraft, I'll send them a gift certificate when the aircraft is officially announced."


    Who knows? If this becomes really interesting, I might send you the entire aircraft for free.
    I believe it's time for a larger P-51 Mustang, thats my guess.

        Not another MUSTANG!!!!!!! these P-51's are suffocating the hobby out of me

        although a hand launcher

        a scale Brewster buffalo from FL would be better

                            Alpha - The one jet that would be one that I believe would sell would be the XB-70 Valkyrie... One of the best looking aircraft of all times, High speed delta wing and a slightly larger scale than the Nicesky one that came out several years ago and much better foam!!!!! Please float this to the RC Gods...second one would be a B-1 Bone...twin 70mm or even 64mm would work..
                            Just let me fly so I may be free

                                An XB-70 would be sweet...I would take a B-1 Bone first though and why limit to 64 or 70mm? I wouldn't go any less than 80mm/90mm...Go big or go home! Especially with a model and swing-wing with that beautiful profile. While we are at it, add in the Horton HO-229, a predecessor in design to the B-2 Bomber.

                                Put them all in the 80mm+ category for size and WOW factor! :Cool:

                                  I think the request for smaller size is due to the latest bout of "sticker shock".

                                    The NiceSky is a pretty big plane, and the only fault I had was the flimsy landing gear. Now with a better EDF and electronic landing gear it would be an awesome plane. I still have the air frame and one of these days I'm going to replace the EDF and put fixed gear on her. Unless Alpha wants it to reverse engineer a new version, pays postage, and reserves one of the first new batch for me to buy.

                                      Hey Alpha, here's a crazy idea (the only kind I'm good for). Since Flight Line/Freewing make a wide variety across several plane types, and in my opinion are the class of the industry, I think they should team up, or make on their own a Flight Line/Freewing simulator that has all of their planes exclusively. As each new plane is in development or announced, they could sell a module of it before hand and not only get feedback, but get us pilots salivating over each plane, forcing us to buy even more of their birds. Release the module a couple months before the plane, thereby selling hundreds of modules, while each of those buying the module would be so impressed with the flight characteristics that we'll all pre-order the plane.

                                      This would also boost the sales of already released planes and even some older models as eventually, every RC pilot would get a Flight Line simulator and modules because who wouldn't want to try out a plane on the computer before buying it. I have no doubt that for every plane you sell, at least 50 % of those pilots would buy the simulator module for it first, again, increasing sales. It wouldn't take long before Flight Line would become the only manufacturer, thereby creating a monopoly. :Silly:

                                        Neat idea but developing a good simulator would take substantial time and monetary resources to bring to market. I like the idea of making add-on planes for an existing sim such as Real Flight. That's something that could be done for substantially less money and brought to market more quickly.
