Hey Alpha how about an ME 109 either the G or E model. On the majority of web sites you cannot find a decent ME 109. There are a great variety of color schemes to choose from so a model in gray primer would be nice. Any size would work but you did have one that was discontinued that had a 55" span (i think). Also a smaller Zero would be great. We have a lot of jets out there but i think a good model of the 109 would be a good seller.

Ok, I'm off to look at Messerschmitt centerfolds now

Originally posted by xviper View PostI don't think you can look at it in that way. Flightline is a derivative of Freewing prop planes. Your question should be, "Why did Freewing have so few prop planes?", because all their prop planes became FL. The only exception is the Freewing Pandora, which seems to have been left behind when Flightline was born. The answer might be that at the time just before FL was invented, FMS was the major producer of prop planes, while Freewing was the major producer of EDFs. Having realized what sells and what made money, FMS (in conjunction with Horizon Hobby and Eflite, etc.) increased their selection of jets. Freewing (MotionRC) already knew this and continued to make more jets. You go where the carrot leads you.

Just a friendly reminder since I’ve mentioned it before, but it would be fun to see another 90mm Sport Jet (to replace the aging Stinger 90). I love my 80mm Avanti, and always will, but I can never have too many sport jets, so a 90mm would be nice for variety. Now that Freewing knows sport jets can sell in big numbers, shown by the success of the Freewing Stinger 90mm EDF and Avanti 80mm EDF jets, it’s probable the future holds another new release.
Then, another reminder , a 80-90mm EDF F9F Cougar would be scrumptious. A Panther is nice too, but I likely wouldn’t buy it, so it has to be a Cougar.

Originally posted by Grossman56 View PostI think that's a great idea too. How many airplanes have you had to add a bit of material to fill in the spaces that accumulate over time? Some type of plastic frame would also add to the overall strength I would think.

If they focused on simplicity and getting the wing loading down they could deliver a really high performance plane with flight times on par with some of the 80mm jets. The Panther would be a great candidate! Anyone who has flown the venom or the Avios mig should have am idea of where I'm coming from.
But I guess they know their market and everyone loves planes dripping with lights and sequenced doors etc.

And to a point above, freewing does have the P51 (old crow) that isn't flight line as well, and I absolutely love flying mine, and does great grass field operations as well.
