    I would LOVE a Freewing New Gen twin 80mm SR-71! My favorite all-time jet. I can at least get you guys off that track for now. Maybe someday I hope! I would LOVE FW to release a stealth line!

      Maybe they already have - but we can't detect them! :)

          I just don’t think they are going to produce a jet that is tuff to fly, for example the 70 & 90mm Starfighters. They look great but are nail biters to fly. I have had an SR-71, never a comfortable flight. I still believe it’s going to be a F-100 Super Sabre.

            I went through 12 (yes 12) LX SR-71 airframes until I finally got to the point I could keep one from busting up. My persistence was both admirable and stupid. LOL

            All aircraft are CG-sensitive but the Blackbird especially so. But once I got the CG perfect and the throws/expo dialed (lots of pitch, very low roll) it flew great, If we were to produce one with Freewing, I would lobby for a built-in gyro and offer them in two liveries. The obvious black of course and the MD-21 silver and black with operational drone. Hey, a man can dream!

            LOL LOL

                      I had the same LX model, after dealing with their junk electronics, retracts and BH customer service, I got about 10 flights on it before it went away. Bad memories, I think one about twice the size as the LX and engineered by Freewing, it would be a completely different experience .

                            Absolutely agree. It would be engineered and modeled the correct way. Concessions made only where absolutely necessary for price point with the bulk of attention going to flight performance and consistency. And you had better believe I would be in Alpha's ear for scale accuracy and the little details.

                                Confidence is extremely high with Freewing products. The hobby is benefiting from their commitment to the customer.

                                    Aros, "What's next?" Don't know diddly, but I'll guess Sukhoi SU 33 (Cy) Flanker. Thinking "Foil" as in spoiler/adversary. Why not? It's a guess after all and the blue camo livery is pretty cool. I do figure the production costs would make this aircraft fairly pricey, however. Best, LB

                                      Since it seems like the idea is to make the unveil at Pampa in Europe if Alpha can get it there in time , I would think it would have to be something that resonates well with that audience. So, I doubt it's the F-100 Sabre. Too obvious of a clue anyway.

                                      Elbee, I think you're on to something here. It's gotta be either Russian ( Sukhoi, Mig) Swedish ( Viggen, Grippen) Czech ( L-39) , British ( Typhoon, Jaguar) or German ( Tornado, Horten) I don't think another American fighter jet would go over very well at an European unveil. An 80mm L-39 would be interesting and probably not too expensive. The Panavia Tornado would be as complex as the F-14. Already some Eurofighters out there. My guess is the Saab Grippen for no good reason.
                                      Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39
                                      Out of Service: 80mm Mig-21,64mm F-35, 64mm F/A-18
                                      I Want: 80mm A-4, twin 80mm F4J Phantom

                                        Hmm, the original unveiling was going to be at Joe Nall if product was available.....
