      I have to concur, an F-100D in 80mm, I’d have to have it. It wouldn’t have to be super scale as far as features, but have those super scale features available, and doable. For instance, in the long development of the FreeWing A4, didn’t Alpha say it was 3+ years, they were designing and testing scale features that may be incorporated in the final product? Like lights and airbrakes and gear doors and working slats. Motion should coax FW to produce those features! I’d love to have slats and gear doors but lack the skills and would hate to butcher it! Bring on the Super Sabre!

        Honestly, I’d love to see every 80mm jet have gear doors and a lighting system as standard in all future releases. It doesn’t weigh a ton, and it looks cleaner and more scale. Even if the price rose a little to adjust for those features, it would be worthwhile for me. On the 80 or 90mm jets, I don’t even need he other features like leading edge slats, airbrakes, etc. To me, the lighting and gear doors make a massive visual appearance difference and the doors have a bit of an aerodynamic affect as well. With the super scale 90mm series, I get the point though in having those other features, hence the name “super scale”:).

          It’s about time you guys spoke about an F-100 Super Saber. I mentioned it on post 358(?) of this thread. That was on Dec 3rd last year. Help us Alpha. We need an answer or another clew. Clear skies ang gentle breezes. The Yank.

                Pretty convenient for sure! It's nice for the smaller fly ins like the Frosty Dog fly in a few weeks ago. Get to go fly at Triple tree but with only another 50 or so pilots there!

                    I liked the airshow in Binghamton NY aeros festival of giants. That was the best turn out I have seen in years up here. The one at stars in Olean was big back in the 80-90's but now its pretty much dead. The ones around me are dead same traveling gypsies. Please note they are all great guys that's for sure.

                        Hey, I was just thinking how cool it would be to do a twin 80mm sport jet. It would be big and fast and fun. I don't think anyone has done that yet.

                            A 70 or 80mm T-33 would be a must have for me!

                              An 80/90mm T-33 hands down, no doubts, belongs in my fleet.

                                Any 50's era jet with tip tanks would suit my fancy. P-80/T-33, F-84, F-89, F-94, FH-1, F2H-2, FJ-1, F-9F....

                                    It looks really good, 70mm, 80A ESCs, flaps and decent looking gear.

                                      :Confused::Confused: Span typo ??? The Schwalbe was 1500mm.
                                      70mm EDF's would be disproportionately large on a 1270mm Meteor airframe.
                                      The ME-262 had a 41.5 ft span and the F.8 had a 37 ft span
                                      :Not-Talking:

                                      EDIT: Never mind, did my math and it says that the span @ 1/8.4 scale(like 262) has the F.8 at 52.8 inches(1341mm)........close enough to 1270mm as listed I guess.
