What's next from Motion RC?

[Bob Symes]

I was keen to grab a grand tundra based on the 2 tundras I have ( both upgraded to 4S) but gave up due to the delay in release and spent my $ on the Eflite AT6 (also upgraded to 4S)
good to see a few more multi prop planes being released
hopefully a Flightline DH98 soon, please.

Just goes to show that some hobby suppliers know how to do product releases... then there is HobbyKing.:Nerd:

The C-130 will probably be my first Avios purchase.

Yup, saw pictures of it today. From what I can see it looks promising.

Yup, they have blown a couple of chances to generate some goodwill. I listened to Steve from HK in an Afterhours RC podcast this morning and he indicated that they realized they screwed up on some past releases and held off talking about the C-130 until it was actually in, or at least near, production. I guess we will see if they learned anything and are actually going to release this in a timely manner.

I have often thought that in addition to the neat products and great service Motion RC gives us, they have also given us a better hobby wide experience by forcing their competitors to up their game to try to keep up with Motion.

Any pictures you could share DK?

Yes that would be nice so I don't have to buy the Seagull wood model Mosquito. But if it comes to it I will buy the Seagull model. And 1600mm will be just fine! Damnit.LOL

Rifleman, would you go Electric or hydrocarbon power for the seagull Mossie?

My plan would be electric with power .60 type motors and 90 amp escs with 6s 45c 4500 batteries.

Would be a rocket ship, always good to have some extra recovery power. I have the Freewing 1400mm and it is no power house and has limited space for a decent size battery. Fingers crossed that FL produce one in 1600 to 1800mm

Thanks Bob, saw the video, was hoping for some detailed photos :)

That Avios C-130 does indeed look interesting. I'm anxious to see some flying videos, demonstrating the flaps and retracts. Differential thrust, reverse thrust, max-effort takeoffs... this thing has the potential to be amazing. Then, someone will have to mod it for a JATO pack.

Should have known you were after detail.
hope it is better quality than the B-17!!

Should have known you were after more detail Wes
hope this one is better quality than the HK B-17 based on your B-17 experiences

Looks like HK is on the comeback trail with Avios (C-130)leading the way. That’s probably a good thing. Too much good competition out there from Freewing/ Flightline to bring out junk. Hope it’s a good one.

FMS has been suspiciously quiet in the tit for tat battle with Freewing. Expected a 80mm F-4 by now.

There’s only so much discretionary money out there . Wish I had the money and space for all these exciting new models .

Probably what Motion has in the works but copied with all the back door deals that goes on over there.

I started a new thread for the Avios C-130 so that we could stop cluttering up the Freewing/FLRC thread:

Alpha,
Any chance of another clue to get the thread back on track? :)

[Craig Dieter]

Yes, let’s get back on to “FOIL”. I still believe it’s an F-100 Super Saber. It not, oh well. I could use a good F-100.
