If Motion RC and Freewing follow the F-14, A-10, and MiG-29 trend with the twin 80mm EDF’s for the price, a twin 80mm EDF F-15 may have potential to sell, but maybe not. I’d like to see a F-15E though to change things up a bit and differentiate it from the current single seat option they offer now.
The reason I can see Motion RC and Freewing not offer a twin 80mm EDF F-15 is that they have elected to manufacture (so far) airframes in twin EDF’s that simply cannot be performed with a single EDF (and actually look good and scale, ha-ha). The F-14, A-10, MiG-29 fit that description. This makes sense to me considering they can create other jets in a single fashion when possible to keep product costs within reason.

Now that Motion RC and Freewing no longer have a Eurofighter offering and Motion RC has a EU warehouse, I could see a totally new Eurofighter released over the years if they think it would sell well. Maybe the Gripen could be a potential indicator of whether delta wing jets sell well to justify the creation. For non-US Delta wing jets with canards, the Gripen and Eurofighter are among my favorites. I can’t imagine a Eurofighter being released any time soon though considering the recent release of the Gripen and it already being a delta wing jet with canards.
On a separate note, I’m still waiting to see a Freewing F9F Cougar 80/90mm EDF jet. Then, a Nexa SR-71, F-117, and B-2.

Ha-ha, very very possible. Unfortunately, it would not get me to buy the same F-15 with just a power system change. It’s a nice looking airplane with some good features (the electric airbrake was the best looking part for me), but it’s relatively heavy for its size, the battery compartment is what I consider small, and I think it’s performance isn’t adequate for my liking. They need to get their money out of that mold, so I doubt they’ll discontinue it, although still possible, but hopefully any refresh they may give the current airframe helps rejuvenate sales. I’ve been waiting for a F-14 refresh with the power system, but they brought the F-14 PNP back in stock just recently with the same old outrunner system.

Like you, I keep waiting on an updated F14 with a newer power system. Not only is it an outrunner system, it is a very old one. Got to be the only 80mm edf power system they offer that still only needs an 80a ESC.
