What's next from Motion RC?

[Airguardian]

Keep it simple. A 90 mm F9F Panther / Cougar. A few livery options including Blue Angels.

Simple + A few livery options... I bet that made Alpha chuckle at least!

[mshagg]

mshagg - It's a balance for sure, but the most recent 90mm F-18 and F-22 lost a lot of details that might have been included had they been made years prior. Like the F-16, F-15, T-45, F-4 etc. That's been the trend for awhile.

I remember there were many who were mad the F-22 didn't have lights. No matter what way you slice it, there will always be something someone wishes things had or didn't.

Haha yes we are impossible to please. Keeps you on your toes though

What I adore about freewing is how I can order a new-in-box airframe or obscure spare parts for a plane that was released 10 years ago. Want a bare bones light weight 90? Or a ridiculously scale one? They're all still available, go for it. Working through their back catalogue (e.g venom, schwalbe, flanker) is a great way to keep yourself busy between new releases.

So many military jets from Freewing, can we have a private jet please? Also, can we have some more Flightline 850mm's for example Zero, Spitfire, Corsair?

I'd like to see some 90mm planes built around a lower power EDF unit. The 115A+ pulled by most 90 fans in the freewing catalogue is a lot to ask from even the most capable batteries.

If they focused on simplicity and getting the wing loading down they could deliver a really high performance plane with flight times on par with some of the 80mm jets. The Panther would be a great candidate! Anyone who has flown the venom or the Avios mig should have am idea of where I'm coming from.
But I guess they know their market and everyone loves planes dripping with lights and sequenced doors etc.

Yeah, it’s a tough call because part of the market says make it as scale as possible, and the other part says lose the scale details and get it as light as possible. Freewing has done both over the years, ha-ha. We’ll see the direction they’ll go next.

I wouldn't mind seeing a new 1600mm P-51, but frankly I'd be happy with an updated version of the current Freewing P-51 Old Crow 1410mm - metal or metal reinforced retract casings, plastic around battery hatch, more reliable sequenced gear doors, eliminate the old speaker fittings etc.

I agree 100% a 1600mm P51 would be beautiful!

[ICM]

I could go for an 80-90mm f9f, but actually like the panther version more for historical value. And to a point above, freewing does have the P51 (old crow) that isn't flight line as well, and I absolutely love flying mine, and does great grass field operations as well.

Just a friendly reminder since I’ve mentioned it before, but it would be fun to see another 90mm Sport Jet (to replace the aging Stinger 90). I love my 80mm Avanti, and always will, but I can never have too many sport jets, so a 90mm would be nice for variety. Now that Freewing knows sport jets can sell in big numbers, shown by the success of the Freewing Stinger 90mm EDF and Avanti 80mm EDF jets, it’s probable the future holds another new release.

Then, another reminder , a 80-90mm EDF F9F Cougar would be scrumptious. A Panther is nice too, but I likely wouldn’t buy it, so it has to be a Cougar.

I think that's a great idea too. How many airplanes have you had to add a bit of material to fill in the spaces that accumulate over time? Some type of plastic frame would also add to the overall strength I would think.

Grossman56

Absolutely, I think all the foam manufacturers would benefit from that small additional feature.

[T-CAT]

Yes, yes, yes. A 90mm F9F Panther or Cougar would be a great addition to the lineup and to anyones hangar. I know mine is waiting for one and with monetary funds reserved for the purchase.... MRC please lighten my plane account......

I don't think you can look at it in that way. Flightline is a derivative of Freewing prop planes. Your question should be, "Why did Freewing have so few prop planes?", because all their prop planes became FL. The only exception is the Freewing Pandora, which seems to have been left behind when Flightline was born. The answer might be that at the time just before FL was invented, FMS was the major producer of prop planes, while Freewing was the major producer of EDFs. Having realized what sells and what made money, FMS (in conjunction with Horizon Hobby and Eflite, etc.) increased their selection of jets. Freewing (MotionRC) already knew this and continued to make more jets. You go where the carrot leads you.

I've only known MRC for about 2 years now or like right before FMS left.

1600mm BF 109G... and I like that primer gray idea... Maybe one color scheme... and one primer...

oh god, you're going to make me have to pick aren't you. North Africa... Russian Winter... North Africa... Russian Winter...

Ok, I'm off to look at Messerschmitt centerfolds now

Many pages of Freewing jets, and one little page of Flightline planes ☹. Why Flightline gets no love? What did Flightline do to be the Ugly StepChild?

Hey Alpha how about an ME 109 either the G or E model. On the majority of web sites you cannot find a decent ME 109. There are a great variety of color schemes to choose from so a model in gray primer would be nice. Any size would work but you did have one that was discontinued that had a 55" span (i think). Also a smaller Zero would be great. We have a lot of jets out there but i think a good model of the 109 would be a good seller.
