I have spent the last two weeks of Sub Zero weather here in the Black Hills of South Dakota Scaling out the Bird Cage version Not quite done yet. Our weather is looking up. By the end of next week I should be ready to test fly the Corsair. I can't wait Please a V2 Corsair with Folding Wings
    You aren't the only one Wildman that would be all over a Corsair with folding wings but I'm not gonna hold my breath because the cost for those types of features just skyrockets the final product price.
    The Banana still sells (when they keep it in stock LOL) the folding wing Corsair ( LX/BlitzRCWorks F4U Corsair) which is normally $500 and that is for a 1200mm sized airframe.
    I can imagine that a FL 1600 Corsair would have to be in the $600 range and that just creeps into the out of range pricing for the majority.
    I can remember when 1450 sized aircraft at $300 was hard to swallow but as the bar was raised by Flight Line to the 1600 sized $400+ warbirds, that became the new pill to swallow.
    When does the pill size start to choke the modeler out

    • I'm really jonseing for a nicely done Italian fighter. Would love a Macchi MC.202 or .205, or a Fiat G.55. I doubt that we'll ever see any of them in foam, but if one were released, I'd be slinging elbows to get to the front of the line to get one.

        I'd love to see Alpha design a Folding wing Corsair! I'd absolutely, positively purchase one or two. That is my favorite airplane of all warbirds. Motion RC, if you build it they will come! Eventually, they will break down and purchase it. It's like a Rock Star drink in the vending machine. Even though, they know it's $1.38 at the store. If a person wants one, they will spend $3.00 to get a cold one out of the vending machine. In time, everyone will get what they want. Just an example of how people work.

                OK, it is pretty funny looking, but out of curiosity I looked up the plane, and found a video of some amazing flying:

                          I’m still hoping for a 2.4m+ B-29. A Lancaster or Mosquito would also be great to see.

                              Looks like a nice plane, and am looking forward to seeing it on the lake with floats.

                                  As long as it had working LEVCONs and full flying stabs (horizontal and vertical) I think I'd be happy!
                                  (And TV nozzles of course, even if they are separately available)

                                  The 57 doesn't have a dedicated airbrake after all (uses the conventional surfaces for that), so that should make it easier!
                                  The jet has drag-chutes though, but I think we could leave that for the mod crew...

                                  She's such a beauty sitting like that with all those huge control surfaces deflected...

                                  And now that Freewing has twist and turn retracts for 80mm sized birds... gotta put them to good use!

                                        • B-17 FLYING FORTRESS. 3 meters

                                          ALPHA nothing is out there.The ones currently flying
                                          are cheaply made. I've been looking for the last 3 years. I own 2 of the 80mm FMS A10 and the quality you guys hit it out of the ball park awesome plane. If
                                          you guys make a B-17 like you did with the 80mm A10 you will OWN the market. Their is a great deal of interest out there for a good quality B-17. Bombay doors that open, turrets that turn, props that you can replace one blade, nice sturdy landing gear, good powerful electric motors, lights that will light it up like a Christmas tree. Can you imagine the upgrades people are going to do if this existed. Come on guys show your interest. If the cost is an issue. Make a good quality shell than offer the upgrades so they can be added on later for completions. B-17 FLYING FORTRESS lets go guys let Alpha know
