    Thanks James, didn't realize at the time I posted that there was a separate parts thread already in existence. Merry Christmas.

As for functioning canopy, those are more personal tastes that don't add to the flight experience which is truly paramount above all else. Something like that would just add unnecessary weight, but I know RC Jet Dude is currently working on that mod for his. I'm sure he'll be posting photos of how he did it when he's all done
      The canopy mod and 3D cockpit detail added just under 4 ozs. to the stock canopy/cockpit tub. Not too bad.

        So it looks like we don't have a current "guessing game" going for the next release now that Five Eyes is out. Has Alpha let the cat out of the bag about some clues on another release yet? I feel like there is something missing from my life now that Foil and Five Eyes were revealed! I need some guessing and humor from here!

          Trident and Wolves have both been mentioned, but I don't remember seeing any clues yet.

            Well the problem with the guessing game is it quickly becomes this thread reborn. Or a wish list of planes reborn over and over again.

              You're right but also complicit to the wish list action.LOL Folks can't stay focused on the thread topic or don't know the fundamentals of how it was established.
              I'll bet I must of interjected 3X though out this thread what Alpha established as the rules to the guessing game and with in 10 or so posts later the wish list sidetrack would gain traction again.:Loser:

                        Let the MRC folks start it since USUALLY they know the lead times. But don't go looking for anything soon, I think because of the "trade war" their having problems with their manufacturers.

                          I would normally view this as a terrible thing but since my wallet needs a break from MRC releases, I am ok with it this time! LOL

                                        I guess you missed one of the previous posts from another MRC person. He's busy with the manufacturers because of Chinese New Years on February 5th I believe. The country pretty much shuts down for at least two weeks, or at least that was how it was when I was in Hong Kong in 2000.

                                          I think it is more like most of a month that they celebrate and nothing else really happens.
