What's next from Motion RC?

[Gringotuerto]

MotionRC is advertising the Mig-29 arriving in about mid-Sept. Does that mean that multiple things will be arriving at the same time? Almost all tanks and many 6S batteries have been out-of-stock for a very long time.

Stella, Welcome to "Hobby Squawk". Great to have you on board. If MotionRC does not do an "All Girl" Livery, I know that Callie at Callie Graphics will be more than willing to get a custom markings set rolling for you. Check her out here at the "Squawk" and on that webthingie, Her address: www.calliegraphics.com Best, LB

Thanks I will, been doing school stuff.

You're only 8 years old?! You're the future of our hobby, Stella!

I'll need to revisit a model that more fittingly commemorates the WASP's *massive* contribution to the war effort. Pilot Evelyn and her dad Tony painted up one of our FlightLine P-38s in a factory fresh livery in honor of WASPs. Hmm... ideas..

Thanks! yes I'm 8, you can see a lot of my flying on facebook/IFLYAMA - just search Stella Woods

[Stella]

Wow, those are great! I used to be part of the litespeedairshow.com team, but now i am trying to form a youth demo flying team and looking for sponsors.You can see my flying on facebook/IFLYAMA and search for Stella Woods

When my daughter was your age, we built a model rocket together. The original suggested paint scheme was all boy. She fixed that. She painted it pink and used dry transfer decals of flowers and fairies she got from Hobby Lobby. It is 6feet long and she named it "Flower Power". Totally awesome! She's in college now, and that rocket is hanging from her ceiling still.

Go ahead, and make a plane how you want it to look. Repaint it if you want. Put different stickers on it. It WILL be the coolest plane out there because it is yours.

OOO that is so nice. I use my grandpa's computer, so sometimes i'm not here, it's him, but he takes me flying every day he can. My dad, grandpa, and great grandpa all fly, so i'm lucky!

[Airguardian]

So, my guess for tomorrow, since the thumbnail shows a hangar, it's presumably a plane, and since the MiG-29 got just released, it's most likely a Flightline bird. Probably something in the 1600mm range...

My guesses:

FW-190
Bf-109
YAK-9U
A6M Zero
P-40
I am not likely jumping in for a warbird but if at some point a La-7 or Yak-9U make it to the 1600mm line I may consider an FPV build...

I would like to see a war bird that only used by female pilots, if there is such a thing.

There's the Polikarpov Po-2, flown by the "Night Witches" in WW2. That would be a cool model - I would absolutely buy one.

I was about to suggest the same squadron, hehehe!
They had quite an interesting story and even a Sabaton song written after them!

They have quite an interesting story too:

That's amazing!
I wish you great succes! :)

[RCjetdude]

Steve, if I recall that hanger did not have rollup doors, did I miss that?

Ron.

On second glance you are correct. My bad.

[Modeljet]

Probably a V-22 Ospery,a big one, tired of the small ones that are out there⁹,and make it with variable pitch props like the real one,sense I work on them,would be something different,
That would definitely be something cool

[Beetlemankurt]

But wait....somethings wrong!.....a pending new release and no riddle yet from Alpha capable of turning our brains into the consistency of jelly?......

oh well, hopefully Alpha is just busying himself getting my 1600mm FW190 or P40 looking good for it’s big reveal........

Project Jaws


O'er laid sea trenches through my sol
Soul immortal legends past
fast a whisper fletch and quiver
single staff superb at last
Revved and rent
the pavement tearing
grip the peat her war just won
They've all gone a hiding hearing
Future Past
We've just begun






Say Jaws and choose.

[Beetlemankurt]

Good on ya Alpha.......mmmmmm......perhaps you’re simply trying to confuse us with all the poetry and ‘stuff’ in the middle......Jaws has gotta mean P-40!......Simple!
if not...well a man can dream .....now back to analysing the rest....

Cheers
Kurt

[Wesnc]

Haha awesome Alpha,
top google result say Shakespeares ‘The Tempest’ so my guess is a hawker tempest, if I’m wrong I hope it’s a big mossie

My breakdown.. both mentally and tryin' to figure Alpha's query out! I'm not quite sure how "Jaws" figures into my deduction. I just think a P-40 is too obvious in this case. So this is where I ended up. Totally off base, I'm sure.. I need some sleep!


O'er laid sea trenches through my [sol]
{the fifth note of a major scale}
Could be a typo.. or could refer to 1/5th scale(?).

Soul immortal legends past
Uhh.. yeah. I got nothin'

fast a whisper fletch and quiver
{These horses evolved into sure footed fast “ponies” which the plains Indians learned to maneuver very efficiently to fight on horseback. Their speed and agility, proved to be a most valuable asset against the U.S. Army.} Talkin' Mustangs here..

single staff superb at last
I don't know.. viagra is all that comes to mind for me here!

Revved and rent
{Fast 'n Loud tv series episode; The crew sets about restoring a 1968 Shelby Mustang}
So possibly a Mustang with four wheels this time(?)

the pavement tearing
Fits the Shelby direction... just sayin'!

grip the peat her war just won
{Horses (Mustangs) with lineage back to the Civil War, and the United States breeding program, would be bred and serve into the twentieth century up to World War II.}
OK, so maybe I'm just stuck on the Mustang lead here. The "peat" kinda throws me off as well. hmmm

They've all gone a hiding hearing
Loads of wild Mustangs running around these parts. Again, just sayin'!

Future Past
{The future of the past is also now, or the recent past, but it implies what [could have happened and didn't], like science fiction of the fifties, with flying cars and rocket packs, for example}
Ummm... yeah.. that! So something fairly recent.. like maybe the addition of RC Cars..

We've just begun
...and keep gettin' better!


Say Jaws and choose.
OK

"Jaws" and I choose a 1/5th scale Shelby Mustang! I'm goin' to bed now!

Lyrics for the Carpenters song "We've Only Just Begun"

Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)


Make me think Zero

The peat and pavement make me think something British...

No clue

[Merry Boozer RC]

So after the Alpha quote I’m still lost haha but I’m hoping for a big sexy war bird.... but let’s be honest that’s what I always hope for. If it has a prop I will buy it lol

[wolpertinger]

I would like to see a war bird that only used by female pilots, if there is such a thing.

Stella, look up the all female Russian bomber group nick named the Nachthexens by the germans in WWII. Very brave pilots....

[quitcherbitchen]

There are two very cheasy Russian movies on Amazon about the Night Witches and a TV series. They were legendary in Russian WII history. The movies are the usual deprivation of material/love stories that you would expect, but they do shed light on the fact that they were very brave.

[DCORSAIR]

P-40 is my guess, do I get one sent to my house for free if I'm right..........

[BJH424]

Maybe another shipment from Blackhorse , Perhaps a Hawker Hurricane...😎
