What's next from Motion RC?

[Gilatrout]

An avenger is on my must have.

Motion, Alpha, I have an itch and budget to buy a new plane. I've been holding off because you are overdue for an announcement, but if something doesn't shake loose soon, I might have to scratch that itch elsewhere.

What I'm saying is I have some money I want to give you.

[Grossman56]

Alphas friend Dante suggested an Avenger, which is a great airplane as its currently not been modeled. I believe I suggested that as well quite a while ago. Nevertheless, it would be something to see and the mods would be amazing.

BTW, that IS a P63 behind her, cool plane too.
If anyone lives near Abbotsford BC, Canada, this particular Avenger was based at Abbotsford Airport as a Conair water bomber, turns out I've seen her fly a number of times up there at the airshow as a kid.

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

Totally agree with this..... A 90mm F9F panther and Cougar would be a great addition to lineup.

[dahawk]

Bravo Zulu ! Agree and for Blue Angels fans, the Cougar would top off the list. I have a Bearcat A4, F4 and F/A- 18. Plus, there isn't one available in the 80 or 90 size. A potential big seller for MRC.

dahawk I'm reading the book, Holding the Line, The Naval Air Campaign in Korea by Thomas Cleaver. It's a fascinating book and discusses many planes and pilots of that time and the transition of naval air power post WW2. With US navy jets, my favorites are anything from the phantom to present. (The development of the real F35 pisses me off but I'd still own one, especially if they made a C variant.)

But I do agree, and now that.i understand it's role.in navy aviation, I really do think a 90 mm F9f cougar would be outstanding!

[BaltimoreBomber]

I will take a B1 in 70mm with upgradeable/optional 90mm 8-12s setup. Use the f-14 mechanics for the wings and size it like the BIG MIG 29 at least. classic flat black!

First leaked picture of the twin 90mm B-1!!! 🍀

It's to bad this wasn't real. A twin B-1 would be amazing!!

[andrew_flyguy]

Still got my fingers crossed and debit card ready for any of the following:

• B-17
• Avro Lancaster
• BF-109 (or HA-1112 Buchon)
• Panavia Tornado
• B-25

[Topdogzrc]

So it seems Youtube just made 'Hot Shots!' free to watch:

Is that a sign that we're gonna get a 80mm Gnat to zip around and cause chaos? 🤔

[T-CAT]

It'd be a great plus if it was in a similar scale to other FW jets in order to perform formation flight and stuff. Of course that would mean it would have to be BIG... but you know, sometimes size DOES matter!



(There's also the Tu-160 to compete...)

That would definitely be some epic stuff. Ha-ha

[SanExup]

It definitely needs to be scaled so an F16 can fly formation!

[T-CAT]

If they ever make a B-1, it absolutely has to have the wing sweep functioning, just like their F-14 already has. A B-1 with a fixed wing position is a no-no.

[SanExup]

I would be stoked to fly one!

I'm not going to lie though, I still want to see them produce some more carrier based planes. Like the E2 or C2 Greyhound , Alpha if you're listening.

But I would definitely fly a twin 70 B1!

[JLambCWU]

Gringotuerto Do you measure the CG inverted?

JLambCWU We hope it's true. I think most people see the B1 and don't think of it's performance, or maybe I used to. But I was riding my snowmachine with 4 buddies on theirs, deep in the mountains far from roads but up on a high valley that is 5 miles wide and 10 miles long that is between two rocky bands of mountains, deep soft snow, so we were going fast with ease, to cover distance and it was a sunny day. All of the sudden a B1 appears in my peripheral vision ripping past us in the same direction, super low. If my sphincter hadn't slammed shut I would have crapped myself. And I literally almost fell off the snowmachine cause my arms went weak from the shock. But he rips past us, covering miles in seconds, climbs rapidly above the mountains and banks hard to come back around. He drops back down into the valley and hard banks a 180 degree arc right down in the valley. And then heads down the valley again climbing slightly above the peaks and was gone in a blink. Our mouths were gaping holes and our eyes locked open.

I know modern fighters probably could have performed an airshow in that valley, but to see the B1 do that absolutely changed the way I see that plane.

100% I had just turned 16 and was giving my dad a break driving from Washington to Oklahoma. The sun had just come up and we had stopped for coffee at a truckstop in the middle of Wyoming. We barely got back on the freeway when a BONE streaked across at less than 200 feet just smoking along with the wings back. A true love at first story. It is absolutely an impressive machine!

From Alphas live stream on twitch, it sounds like a twin 70mm design is possible if there is enough demand. Demand is key and the community has to show it. In these forums specifically.

A twin 70mm with bifurcated ducts would be an enormous model but i believe very popular and doable. If designed correctly it would comfortably fly on a single 6S but would have room to run dual 6S when desired. Hopefully with a working bomb bay option as well.

That photo was leaked on purpose as a disinformation campaign to obscure the true next Flightline Model....

I was re-watching 'Hot Shots' and it made me think about how much fun it'd be to fly an 80mm Folland Gnat around.
Hey Alpha, you think you could paint it up in 'The Navy' color scheme too? 😁
