What's next from Motion RC?

[dkalwishky]

I would like a 1600mm P-51 and P-40 to compliment my Corsair & Spitfire. I love my 1600mm Spitfire.

We need some adversary's. I know they don't sell as well but would be cool. The FMS 1400mm Bf-109G (Back in stock by the way) scales perfectly with the 1600mm Spitfire. A new 1600mm A6M2 or 5 would be the ticket for the new 1600mm Corsair.

[dkalwishky]

I would love those as well. Forget the Mustang, give me a big Zero!

[Aros]

Best flying warbird I ever flown was the FMS 1400 Zero. Such a beautiful flyer! For the adversaries I would love to see us come out with a larger scale BF-109 and Stuka. I would also like to see a FlightLine 1600mm+ Razorback. The FMS one is nice but the foam material they chose, shoot, you look at it wrong and it dents and dings.

1600 mustang and p-40e super scale....would be awesome!

[Twowingtj]

The guessing games are a lot of fun. Just trying to figure out how Alpha's hints tie in to the project name is a worthwhile challenge. Maybe the duration of the game could be shorter. Say two to three weeks from the target release date. That way, those that get frustrated easily, won't need to wait so long.

So... Flightline or Freewing? Project name? First hint? When the time is right.

[JamesonC]

So, no project name for the P51???

[dkalwishky]

Best flying warbird I ever flown was the FMS 1400 Zero.

I've got the tan colored one, hasn't flown yet. It'll be in the air this season.

[AirHead]

Here's my FMS Zero basking in the summer sun. I have to wait for better weather to get her back up. It would be great to see a FlightLine 1600mm version though. It really is a "Zen" flyer....

[Aros]

A 1600mm FL Zero would be sweet!

[Valkpilot]

So, no project name for the P51???

Yes Project "It Just Showed Up". The thing is do we really want to engage in another one of these contests that after a while begins to generate so much anger, angst, and strife? Are things stable enough in the PRC
that a Project you start a game on in March, with the expectation of a June delivery, doesn't end with an angry mob at Halloween? These are things to think about.

If some folks get that worked up over a "game" they need to take a step back or turn their computer off for awhile. It's kind of like watching the news. If you're feeling depressed just don't watch the news for a few days and everything becomes right with the world.

[Hoomi]

Sadly, some people DO get that worked up over a game, and take serious offense if anyone suggests they should lighten up about it.

Need proof? Just go watch the typical kids' league sports. You'll see a lot more bad sportsmanship from the parents in the stands, than you will from the kids on the field.

[Aros]

I have been a diehard Seattle Seahawks fan since inception in 1976. Getting worked up over a game??? Why I have NEVER! (said the liar) :)

The pocket warbird Mustang was Project Iwo.


Many on our team would love to put our spin on a big Zeke with all the modern accoutrements, but we're all convinced it would leave a six figure hole in the bottom line. Sad fact that we're likely right.


As for starting the guessing game again with a defined announcement date (i.e. "within a month"), unfortunately we can't telegraph our timeline to... other people... who are reading along.

[Hoomi]

And the sad fact that, to stay in business, any investment made in a new product needs to earn back more money than it cost to develop and manufacture.

[Beeg]

Is the next plane on this list?

i like your spread sheet, it shows Finesse

[Alpha]

What a coincidence you should say that, because Beeg's middle name actually is Finesse.
