What's next from Motion RC?

[dutchwhite001]

Classic Civilian seaplane!!!! We need one Alpha. Oh, and you might as well throw in an A-26 invader, I will buy one. Maybe two if it will help.

Hi Alpha,

I am not particularly asking for a particular plane but features i would like to see continued such as extensive leds in aircraft(it just looks really cool!) and grass readiness as this really helps all of us in europe.Lastly,I would like to request an english electric lightning edf.I really do appreciate all you do for your customers alpha and am happy with any product to be honest!

FredGB, Copy that and well written. Best, LB

Can you explain what you mean by they are "clunky looking?"

Not very scale, crude,lackluster. This plane does not call to me even though the Corsair is my favorite plane. Check out the new Top RC 93" Corsair. Less than perfect but far less "clunky"

Hi Alpha so far I have a FW190a8, TA152 and the Spitfire all great models. But I would like to see a Ki-43-llb oscar since I do not see many Japanese aircraft on the motion web site. My next choice Mig-3 Russian fighter. The mig has a lot of good color schemes and is seldom done in foam.

Hey all you Bronc Busters, take a look at this:

So I guess "what's next" right now is the new Nexa line!? I saw that VQ Warbirds was dropping the VQ line (and changing their name); wondered who the new distributor would be! Are you guys "tweaking" or updating these like the BH models? Taking suggestions for new designs?

By now I hope we've established that we are pushing "What's Next " on multiple fronts at the same time, not just foam electric birds in a one-at-a-time fashion. Some of these product announcements we've been making throughout 2020 so far are for things coming soon, things coming later, and things already here...

At this point, posting a request or guess in this thread for a balsa Hindenburg would be just as applicable as a foam Concorde or composite Miss Budweiser or a super scale Big Foot.

Motion = everything that moves

Even though the DeHavilland Sea Vixen looks like a jet version of an OV-10 Bronco; I remember Durafly made one but it didn't seem to go over well. Freewing could do a nice job of it; but there are probably more pressing designs people are after....

I’m excited to see the new Nexa line being added on to the lineup! I’m sure you are already on it, but I’d love to see a V2 of quite a few of the formerly VQ lineup. While they generally fly very well, but VQ always has lacked a certain amount of attention to scale outlines. I understand not everything will scale 100% (on any RC model for that matter) but I’d love to see the Freewing/Flightline attention to scale brought over to the newer models. A V2 of the F-82 Twin Mustang would be an absolute must-have for me, with the stretched fuselages, and a more scale sized wing. I debated getting one and trying the stretch/trim job myself, but looking it over it would entail almost as much effort as starting from a bare kit..

Yep, the expansion over the past year has been amazing! Good on you guys, and I hope it's sustainable. Business is always a gamble!

What I for one really appreciate is you're willing to try models of less commonly, even rarely modelled subjects. The BH DO-335 and HE-111 are perfect examples (although the Dornier seems to have a hardcore and vocal following). Thank you for being willing to take the risks in offering such models, especially in balsa which I suspect is a less popular format these days.

If I had to pare my own wishlist down to just 5 planes, I think it would be (in no particular order):

F4F Wildcat
Hawker Typhoon
Boulton-Paul Defiant
I-16 Rata
Avro Lancaster

All balsa, the single-engine planes 70'-80' wingspan, the Lanc up to say 90".

You aren't kidding about it being about everything that moves. That Aircraft Carrier and Titanic are flippin' sweet!!!

I agree! If I wasn't already up to my ears in hobbies (and I had a decent place to operate them), I'd be seriously tempted by those boats. My only beef with the Nimitz is the air group... no F-14s!

[GBLynden]

F-14's are pretty awesome! One of my buddies has the Freewing F-14 and it is so epic to see that jet in the air

About the only two categories not covered are rockets and submarines. Good submarines are near the $1000+ range and I can understand not wanting to deal with the potential liabilities involved in selling rockets.

Rocketry is as safe as any other hobby. The FAA and other goverment agencies actually works with NAR and Tripoli as far as altitude waivers and gas for some time.

I had been thinking about rockets too. It was my primary hobby since the late 70's until I got into RC planes about 10 years ago. It's a much smaller market than RC (miniscule here in Canada), and almost entirely kit-based.

As far as safety goes, as long as the participants follow the appropriate safety codes and regulations, it's actually very safe.

And as Shakespeare wrote "And there's the rub." Just as there are people who don't follow the rules with RC aircraft, there are those in rocketry who won't, and they to will get the bulk of the headlines.

one of these with 70mm fans would be welcome also.
