                    Definitely! Both of those would be must have models. Just got a new painting for the living room. Just need a big B-29 to match it..

                        Hey Gil, I'd love to see someone make a nice affordable Lockheed Super Constellation, Big problem is the long skinny nose gear, and the (4) motors. I think virtually all the potential manufactures basically run like a banny rooster under hack when this beautiful plane is brought up. Don't look for anyone to break ranks any time soon. I'm pretty sure it would be a hand full, the real one was a bit slippery.

                          I would love to see a 2.1m B-17 the B--24 is an Awesome flying bomber, and looks great, but I would still prefer to see a B-17 just my thoughts on what I would love to see next

                            Hmm....interesting, the Freewing F-15 PNP and High Performance PNP are no longer showing on MotionRC’s website, only what’s remaining of ARF+ stock. Is this a sign of something to come like a twin 80-90mm F-15?

                              Would still like a single 80mm F-15 in the centennial colors or Edwards colors so my old eyes could see it better.

                                  That would be awesome! But, I'm betting it's just getting the 9bl 1900kv now. The rest have gotten a new SKU# when that happened.

                                      Ha-ha, very very possible. Unfortunately, it would not get me to buy the same F-15 with just a power system change. It’s a nice looking airplane with some good features (the electric airbrake was the best looking part for me), but it’s relatively heavy for its size, the battery compartment is what I consider small, and I think it’s performance isn’t adequate for my liking. They need to get their money out of that mold, so I doubt they’ll discontinue it, although still possible, but hopefully any refresh they may give the current airframe helps rejuvenate sales. I’ve been waiting for a F-14 refresh with the power system, but they brought the F-14 PNP back in stock just recently with the same old outrunner system.

                                      If Motion RC and Freewing follow the F-14, A-10, and MiG-29 trend with the twin 80mm EDF’s for the price, a twin 80mm EDF F-15 may have potential to sell, but maybe not. I’d like to see a F-15E though to change things up a bit and differentiate it from the current single seat option they offer now.

                                      The reason I can see Motion RC and Freewing not offer a twin 80mm EDF F-15 is that they have elected to manufacture (so far) airframes in twin EDF’s that simply cannot be performed with a single EDF (and actually look good and scale, ha-ha). The F-14, A-10, MiG-29 fit that description. This makes sense to me considering they can create other jets in a single fashion when possible to keep product costs within reason.

                                        Now that Motion RC and Freewing no longer have a Eurofighter offering and Motion RC has a EU warehouse, I could see a totally new Eurofighter released over the years if they think it would sell well. Maybe the Gripen could be a potential indicator of whether delta wing jets sell well to justify the creation. For non-US Delta wing jets with canards, the Gripen and Eurofighter are among my favorites. I can’t imagine a Eurofighter being released any time soon though considering the recent release of the Gripen and it already being a delta wing jet with canards.

                                        On a separate note, I’m still waiting to see a Freewing F9F Cougar 80/90mm EDF jet. Then, a Nexa SR-71, F-117, and B-2.

                                          Just the updated 9bl inrunner.

                                          Like you, I keep waiting on an updated F14 with a newer power system. Not only is it an outrunner system, it is a very old one. Got to be the only 80mm edf power system they offer that still only needs an 80a ESC.
