A super sylph on the other hand should be much easier.

Slightly off topic but nevertheless interesting. Was at conference last week and heard Rick Smith speak on disruption. We talk about what's next and maybe it's not this year or even three years from now, but it's coming to our hobby. It's 3 and 4D printing. Not 3D printing as we see it today with low cost home models . I'm talking about 3D and 4D printing of complete models using far better materials than available today. No more 6 figure molds. I'm sure Alpha and the Freewing braintrust are pondering : Check out one of Rick's vids: https://youtu.be/1z_DRAtSZ3E

Ya know mate, has it ever occurred to you or your team, that maybe the reason no 737 has ever got any serious traction is because no one has made one that fly's worth a darn. I wont be purchasing or flying one of these FlyFly ones for sure. They look like sleds, IE heavy, and they don't look quite right to me. I would prefer a nice old school airliner, but I sincerely believe someone is going to hit with one of these in the not too distance future, (years not months). Making a nice 737 that looks, and fly's great would take a very special team. Are you hearing me mate? Who would like a model that doesn't fly well? The 737 air frame is going to be challenging to say the least. But ya made a nice flying F-4, I think if you ever chose to do it, your team would be up to the task for sure.
If I was going to do one, I would go for a mid 70's vintage where they were running pure jets, not the fan jet verity. I just think they looked cooler, but that's just me. But the pure jet verity would use smaller fans, and could be a smaller plane.
I completely understand why these airplanes do not appeal to front line dev's, and the risks associated with doing something like this, and respect it. I for one love most of the models you have made, and intend to own more of them in the future. But I'd still love to have a nice flying 737 someday. I'm not holding my breath though, LOL.
My recommendation would be to pass on this one. That plane is a lot of money, just think of the Freewing jets ya can own for the price of that thing. Just a bit of friendly piece unsolicited advise.
Best Regards
Woody
