      With the very popular mini warbird series from JPower/Skyangel no longer produced, has Motion and Freewing thought about manufacturing some “Toss-n-boss” prop. fast flyers? I loved those and still do (own a few). JPower/Skyangel of course had their 50mm EDF line that also did well. Clearly, both are fun, inexpensive, easy to mod, easy to transport, among other aspects. This new small line of Freewing 64mm EDF Jets are great, but I would also like to see something similar in a prop. line from them. The small prop planes could be made fast, or just to cruise, pylon race, use 3 or 4S small LiPo’s, don’t require cheater holes, etc. So many people miss the JPower/Skyangel prop. planes, so it would great to some from another manufacturer these days :Cool:. Essentially, something in the same size range as the current 64mm toss up EDF here, but in props, and be a “Racing Series”.

        So (HOOT) My guess is FW 190 for Joachim Müncheberg, working on the others.

          Foil and Five Eyes are different aircraft, by the way.

          Keep guessing, this is fun :)

            I would love either of the German Owls. I bet the FW-189 is a great flier and a lot more docile than the HE-219. I don’t know how difficult it would be to replicate all the glazing on the 189, and other German designs like the JU-88. Maybe it’s not possible to form them.

              I would still love project foil to be a F100....but, the foil like paper chaf dropped in ww2 was code named window, so foil could be a RAF Lancaster?
              Five eyes is the joint venture between The UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I'm not sure what plane(s) we all have in common?

                Sorry, foil must be an F-100. As I stated back in December a foil could be a sward or a saber. Just makes cense. But I would NOT pass up an HO-229 as I am a flying wing fanatic, ala Northrop, Horton, Lippisch or who-ever. An XB-35 would be awesome!!! May need to make my own as I already have drawn up plans for one.......

                      This would be pretty cool. I'm picturing an XL super scale-type bird.

The gate guard examines my badge, then cranes his neck to see inside and asks, “Sir, do you have enough aircraft in your vehicle?” To which, I replied, “ Hell no, there’s always room for one more.” He smiled, popped a salute and said, “Carry on, Sir.”

Flaws like to long narrow landing gear, long nose almost full right rudder and right aileron take offs. Tried gyros etc and those so called cool split flaps and all the amps she draws when landing have over heated the ESC all i could do from not losing control walked away with very little damage. need i say more.:Devil::bf109 But I love her all the same. I say how about a 1700mm Butcher Bird! One can dream.:bluelove

                                    What about, the Dehavilland Mosquito as project Five eyes. The mosquito has been used by all five nations and the mosquito was a reconnaissance plane as the whole point of five eyes was intelligence gathering?
                                    Not sure I’d describe it as finicky though?
