What's next from Motion RC?

[dahawk]

+1 on rhe Panavia Tornado after the Panther. Good friend flew one for the RAF. Cool plane.

[xviper]

Alpha +1 for a Tornado. Twin 80/ 8s single 90. Saw one at an airshow in Colorado in 2010 and I was hooked. Note the flag of New Mexico on the tail, signifying the Luftwaffe's Flight Training Center at Holloman. The first pic is mine, but I like the second livery better :).

It would be a great addition to the F-14.

[dahawk]

I would love to see a 80 or 90mm F9F Panther/ Cougar. First, nobody sells one. The closest thing was a 70mm RC Landers. Long gone.

But second, for us Navy guys who would love to complete their Blue Angels squad. Have the FW A4, eflight 80mm F4, and 90mm F/A-18 in BA livery. The Panther proceeded the F4. I do believe there was a short stint with the F11. Of course , the Bearcat started it all. Probably wont happen but I think it would be a good seller.

It's not my plane of choice but I agree one of these would be really cool (Even if I don't buy one).

The dreaded OR statement, I fell for it

Here, this should help:

[Dirty Dee]

Yes.

Now the question I have for Alpha : Would An Ho-229 be released under the Flightline brand, or Freewing?

Yes.

[Beetlemankurt]

Once Alpha and the team have knocked out a 1600mm FW190 and P40 which would make me VERY happy I’d love it if they made available a decent sized Dash 8. Yep..a modern(ish) civilian aircraft to complement the AL37 airliner but cover off a twin turbo prop. These things seem to be almost everywhere as an airline staple and I think it would open up a multitude of different airline schemes for people to personalise.....from what I’ve seen it’s not aircraft that seems to be modelled much. Now back to the warbirds .....

Cheers

The guys that have the Flex F-100 at our field absolutely love them and have been flying the wings off them since the got them a few days ago.

I'd still like to see a FW version. The build quality will.be unmatched.

If Freewing does happen to get around to releasing an F-100 in 80 or 90mm one of these years, I would have to have one.

Just not willing here to grow older without having one to fly......:)

[Gilatrout]

Alpha stated some time back that a FW F-100 was not on the foreseeable horizon.

Not being willing to wait a couple of years, or perhaps forever, I went with the Flex F-100. Really like it.

I decided to give the Flex controller a fair shake and like it so far. It is more than just a gyro. The F-100 flies well with the gyro selected off via a switch. The Aura is still supplying some mixing, rates and expo when the gyro functions are off.

Easy enough to remove and sell off the Aura if you can't stand the idea of it. They have been selling well at 50 to 65 bucks on RCG.

We really need a 80mm F 100 from freewing without a pre-installed gyro we don't want.
Freewing planes are the best on the market, the design and build quality are good and motion even ships them to us free. And
motion has the best customer service in the business

The FreeWing EDF's do not have gyo's pre-installed, They do have the Multi-function Control boards in them pre-installed though (Blue Box)

Alpha I would like to see Freewing do a 90mm MB-339.
I haven't seen anyone do one in that size yet.

[Valkpilot]

Glad I waited. Now all I have to do is wait for Motion to get them in:

[tab28682]

Understood, and I had heard that before.

However, the Flite Test Grumman Widgeon does have panel lines smaller than the size mentioned, which is why I brought it up.

[Elbee]

tab28682, Alpha spoke to this very subject on his last AlphaMakesA on TwitchTV. Check it out: https://www.twitch.tv/alphamakesa , basically it comes down to a function of the 5-axis milling tool and its' angle to the surface of the negative metal molds during the pattern making process. 1mm deep and 1.5mm wide (or vice versa), in any event, it is very difficult to do, hence the conversation about more/fewer/or the same amount of panel lines on future projects. Best, LB

[tab28682]

Speaking of panel lines.

I have always felt that they could more delicate and a little less obvious.

This thought was confirmed by a recent purchase of a new ARF from Flite Test, the Grumman Widgeon.

I was very happily surprised by the size and quality of the panel lines and screw and rivet detail, not to mention the rest of the model. Extremely well done, as you can see from the pictures. I wish other manufacturers did them this well.

(Another very nice feature was the fact that all wire runs were hidden inside the model, with no tape or visible wiring slots)

Perhaps MRC and Freewing can do their panel lines more like this. There could be production reasons that make this problematic, like premature wearing of the mold, but it would certainly be nice.
