What's next from Motion RC?

[Electric4213]

Not sure what will be released today but will be looking. Wish it would be something different. How many more F-4s, F-16 etc. The same stuff all the time that everyone else is making. I only buy from Motion but make something different for a change when you talk Edf!!! How about an English Electric Lighting?? How about a 90 mm Alpha Jet? How cool would that be with the scale gear on that???
Thanks Bob

Hoping for the next bomber.. either a big B-29 or an A-26.

{the fifth note of a major scale}
Could be a typo.. or could refer to 1/5th scale(?).

But a fifth is a ratio of 3:2 in frequency, so maybe it's 67% scale....or 150% scale, lol. Two octaves plus a major third is a ratio of 5:1 (as any bugle player knows), but that's much harder to subtly slip into a poem. So I think you make an excellent guess here....best guess I've read in this thread.

Anyway, I guess P-51 sort of makes sense, given that they had a FMS 1700mm Corsair, and recently came out with a Flightline 1600mm Corsair. So 1600mm P-51 is slightly logical. I couldn't get super excited about that, though. The "big three" are way overdone, IMHO.

SR71? But it's black??

The British had men and women in the Air Transport Auxilary (ATA) and the USA had the Womens Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) that flew pretty much any and all WWII aircraft including all the top combat fighters and bombers. The USSR used women in all combat rolls and had some very successful women ace fighter pilots.

Well there are certainly fighters that are crewed by female pilots. A couple years ago I remember a news article of an all female crew on big AF plane, might have been a B52 bomber (big plane!) or maybe a big jet like a tanker or even a C130. Heck there might have been stories on all of them but it does happen, usually for a publicity peice as mixed crews are just the normal day to day business just like most places of work in the modern world.

I am betting there is at least one lady pilot on the service demonstration teams ((Thunderbirds and Blue Angels). That has been common for years now. You can model one of their planes. A quick google shows thunderbirds lead solo #5 is flown by Maj. Michelle Curran. There are nice Eflite F16 T bird falcons.

Are you ready for a jet yet? I am not and I am more than six times your age but have probably six times less than your vision and reflexes. (grin)

Hang on... Is it an Avenger?

single staff sounds a lot like a torpedo, and the other stanzas jube as well

How about an electric 2500mm+ B-17

[anwudgf]

I recon it is the Freewing F-117 Nighthawk 70mm Inrunner, a plane that was devised in 1982 and it was so top secret the public hadn't heard of it until 1988.

Ok, I'm going to say we're about to see 2 planes today. A f4F and an avenger.

Wildcat hero of Marianas turkey shoot (and a famous ocean trench)

The torpedo reference.points to an Avenger

Going in hiding at wars end hearing the sound of the future Past sounds like the jet age making all those WWII birds obsolete

Project Jaws documents a crash between an avenger and a F4F

And the final line says choose

[Steelon Steel]

Douglas B18 Bolo? They just look interesting.

[Alpha]

Steelon Steel If has a B-24ish nose and a DC-3ish body. Interesting lug for the prewar era.

Gilatrout Avenger, yes, Avenger.

[Alpha]

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

It's great that your great grandpa, grandpa, dad, and you all fly. Four generations of pilots is quite a feat and a blessing.

[Airguardian]

Aaaand... we were all far off the mark... for my part I'm hella glad we were, what a wonderful surprise!

[Gringotuerto]

The last thing I expected was another EDF a few weeks after the last EDF. Great for fans of fans.

[Alpha10]

Super happy to see an 80mm Gripen... Great speed candidate and it still leaves room for a single 90mm Rafale in the future! 😁😁😁

[Alpha]

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!

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!

I like that went in depth, BluesDragon. The fun is in playing the game, not winning it.



Here's the breakdown for Project Jaws: JAS 39 Gripen:


Project Jaws --




O'er laid sea trenches through my sol --Imagery of flying ("o'er") from WWI ("trenches") to present day ("my Sol"). Sol is the Swedish word for sun. Clues: Airplane, Swedish, connection from WWI to Present Day
Soul immortal legends past --Imagery further supporting a connection from the present to the past. Clues: An "immortal" airplane... cannot be, so the immortal aspect is the livery/squadron/unit = Heritage livery of a Swedish airplane
fast a whisper fletch and quiver -- A fast but low observable airplane ("fast a whisper") that has multiple roles ("quiver"). A "Fletch" is the fin of an arrow (i.e., Delta wing shape). Clues: Multirole Swedish Delta Airplane
single staff superb at last -- Single engine ("single staff"), the latest iteration being the best ("superb at last"). The Super Gripen is the latest iteration of the Gripen.
Revved and rent --Imagery of a car (revving the engine) and accelerating quickly ("rent the pavement tearing"). Saab builds cars. We know it's a Swedish jet, now the riddle mentions cars. Swedish Jet+Cars = Saab.
the pavement tearing
grip the peat her war just won --Imagery of a double meaning of a jet accelerating and a car accelerating on grass/unprepared surfaces ("grip the peat"). Also, history lesson, Saab was founded in 1945 ("her war just won"). The "war" mentioned is WW2. Her war (the Swedes, and the Czechs) was just one.
They've all gone a hiding hearing --"They" is a reference to other modern multirole fighters trying to achieve stealth ("they've all gone a hiding"), despite the
Future Past --Double reference confirming the heritage livery of a Saab delta, and also the fact that the Gripen has exceeded some of the more "futuristic" airplanes (the Gripen has low observability qualities despite not being an overtly "stealth" aircraft.
We've just begun --






Say Jaws and choose. --If you say "Jaws" aloud, you're also saying "JAS", which is a reference to the JAS 39. "Choose" is a reference to the fact that the Swedish people voted for the name "Gripen" in a public poll to name the JAS 39. They said Jaws (JAS) and chose (Gripen)

Clues:
Airplane
Swedish
Connection from WWI to Present Day (livery)
Delta Wing
Multirole
Jet company and Car company imagery founded after a large war (Saab)
Stealthy/futuristic, while still being connected to the past
Pronounced JAS and the name was chosen by the people

I really like that Gripen. I'm thinking about clicking that CRAZY BUTTON. OH YEAH!!! Respect to my PETRINCIC BROTHERS.
What's next Alpha? Boss and toss Spitfire to go with my Flightline P-51. LOOK AT THIS AND BE IMPRESS!

[desert thunder]

Alpha,
Any chance you might make your airframes more turbine conversion friendly in the future?

[Frank_GER]

Hello Alpha

here some suggestions for a new Airliner:

Tupolev TU-144 (with retractable canards and nose)



Tupolev TU-154 with Interflug livery:



Ilyushin IL-62 with Interflug livery:


These are all my favorites. I think it would be the best to do all airliners with the same scalefactor.
