What's next from Motion RC?

[RCjetdude]

Ok this is the last time I am going to say this (that’s a lie) it is going to be the F-100 Super Sabre.....GUARANTEED.

With Alpha's projects there is much speculation...If F-100 it is not, crow you must eat hmmm?

[lmramos44]

But what size??? 64, 70, 80, or 90mm? I'd go for a 64mm w/lg option in a NY minute.

Ugghhh, no baby jets, 90mm. That jet deserves Super Scale edition.

Then get the Fly Fly version.

In the last 2 years, 4 of my all time favorite planes have been brought out by Motion. The A-10, A4, B-24 and F4. Throw in the Bae Hawk and Mig-21 and make it a six pack.

I could not be happier. Plenty to fly.

Happy to wait for the next big release and so is my wallet.

Chillin...

We need to come up with a tanker for midair recharging LOL

Then get the Fly Fly version.

If you want a 64mm Jet with no landing gear, Banana Hobby can help you:Silly:

[lmramos44]

Speaking of new releases , what happened to HK’s C-130??? Did they screw up another release??

They only have one 64mm jet, and it DOES have landing gear, an F-117. Only most of the 50 mm (which are only carried by one other place) don't.

My understanding is that HK announced the C-130 as a teaser, way ahead of when it will become available. I don't think they intended to release it until late this year or early next year. I guess we will see,

If that is the case, I can’t see how that benefits HK in any possible way. Their new product release program needs a makeover.

[rifleman_btx]

I agree, that's why I now like how motion is taking the time with their stuff vs what HK is doing.

[themudduck]

Well yeah, HK does stuff that doesn't seem to make good business sense - they debut models that aren't available, they stock models without offering complete spare parts... and there are other complaints.
They do offer some things that are good bargains. But MRC gets almost all of my business. I think most of us squawkers agree that MRC has better management.

I was checking the C130 thread over on RCGroups and it was noted on July 8th that someone said on a podcast that the C130 just finished production. If they shipped in mid-July the container should arrive on the west coast and be unloaded around mid-August, then it would be available for sale before the end of August. Maybe.

[rifleman_btx]

That sounds about right

[AirHead]

Everybody should pool their money and let's buy Freewing! Move the factory to the US; everybody quit your job and let's go into full production and make models of every plane that ever existed in different sizes, power setups and liveries with high tech electronics and quality landing gear. While we're at it, lets find a way to put a lightweight hard shell on the EPO so all of the expensive models don't end up looking like Gator Puft popcorn in the end....Just sayin'...

[fhhuber]

While we're at it, build a time machine and kill Hitler's mother when she's just 2 years old.

Do you think that Hitler's mother thing would really work?

PS Yea, HK is love them hate them for sure. Serious bitter sweet relationship to say the least. My favorites are MRC also. But my Motion RC hat got so dirty my wife made stop wearing it. Trust me I have a big bald head, so hats are my savior. All I have left is a Durifly HK gave me. So next time I order from MRC, Probably an A-4, maybe a Sea Fury. I'm going to ask for a free hat. Problem with HK, is some times they're the only place that has what I need. Hard to figure I know, but honest feedback.

That;s not what HK has said, they've said in several posts that the plane would be out shortly as it was in manufacturing.
