What's next from Motion RC?

[nuts-n-volts]

I'll still ask for a great scale Phantom as a twin 80mm. Shoulda done 2x80 the first time. But, the consolation would be that it's bigger, better, and even more scale!

Well, since sounding like a robot is becoming a norm around the interwebs and on the site, I'll say it again, an E2C Hawkeye with all the bells and whistles and lights would be phenomenal. And tailhook please. It's history and crucial role in naval operations make it an amazing subject. The super Fudd. (No viruses will be uploaded if you click in the photo to get a closer look)

That would be something.

Its still too long between single prop ww2 fighter. Its old news,, they wont do a zero... i agree with many, to many p51 s,,, so p47 btop would b good or me 109.. or even fw190.. i had hobbyking 1600 butcherbird flew ver well.. and im sure a flightline version would be faaar superiour

A Lockheed Electra 10E would be a damned cool addition to any hanger

Now, that Amelia Earhart's Lockeed Electra has probably has been located... It might be a good time for Motion RC to offer a 1600mm foam of the aircraft!!! Just a suggestion,,,

Great Idea, a FlightLine version at 1600mm would also be 'recognition and a compliment' to women aviators of the period. Best, LB

Luv the warbird stuff,,, do have only 1non military plane.. 1400 pitts.. if i ever get another,, i agree steve,, an electra 1600, would have incredable,,,,,,, historical signifigance

Curious of the F104 will ever come back.

[Sky Wolf]

Still waiting for a decent sized Flightline model like a 1700mm PC-21/Super Tucano to put 5-6A 6S batts into when I don't want to fly an EDF. Seems to me like a gap in the market - just don't know how big the hole is...

Now that Avios has put out a pretty nice looking 1600mm Super Tucano and we can see the demand on it, maybe Motion will seize the opportunity. Would love to see a Freewing version!!

Flew my 70mm F-104 on Tuesday. It has a reversing ESC and the new-ish FW 2957-2210Kv EDF unit. It's fast!

[kallend]

How about yet another F-16, Freewing! Definitely not enough out there already/

[rmc]

we want a Bell x1 or a Grumman Goose !!!!!!!

[f4u ausie]

Hellcat but won't happen or flight line quality p47

[Elbee]

Hellcat but won't happen or flight line quality p47

Yes,

FlightLine F6F-6.

FlightLine P-47 similar to the Corsair idea so it is offered as either a Turtle-deck or bubble canopy.

FlightLine P-51 "B" model with the Malcolm Hood with suitable liveries for both USAAF and the RAF Mustang III for our European brethren.

Best, LB

We do?

Does putting 7 exclamation points make it more true?

[Elbee]

Motion RC,

I'd like to see all your models incorporate the hatch lock mechanism as part of the battery cover rather than a part of the fuselage.

At the very least this gives the modeler something to pull on to access the battery bay.

Possibly it is just me, but my big ol' fat digits do more harm than good trying to pull the hatch off the fuselage each time I want to change the batts.

And BTW, just adding a piece of clear tape to the hatch cover is simply wrong.

This should be applied all version 2.0 upgrades, too.

I can't be the first to see this as both a viable and sensible choice.

Respectfully, LB

[f4u ausie]

Lb. Absolutely agreed 100 percent. Agreed. Funny thing. I've always glued in a tiny little pin to grab so I don't jiggle around scratching or denting.. good plan Stan .. I've always taken off the tape.. makes a well engineered (but NOT enuf glue sometimes). Look like a toy

[Evan D]

I assume all of the FreeWing and Flightline models or are you including NEXA and the rest?

I'd add screwless wing attachment and slime lights if appropriate, at least some lights (90mm F-22 I'm looking at you).

[Elbee]

Evan D,

If you're referring to my battery hatch request, I'd ask for that on all models where accessing the battery requires removing a cover.

f4u ausie

I have used several methods and even use an embedded magnet on the Corsair, which has no visible parts showing.

The B-25C has the scale direction locator on the fuselage top and in the Flightline B-25 ends up on the battery hatch, so it was a natural.

That just reaffirmed the reason to place the hatch release on the hatch itself, I not dinged that hatch at all, simply because there was something to grab.

If you're designing foam or balsa aircraft and the one part that gets constant use is not robust, you're going to ding it up no matter how careful you are.

We have all applauded the use of formed plastic edges around the battery hatch and hatch area of the fuselage of other manufacturer's aircraft.

I think it's time that Freewing and FlightLine do similarly, that's all.

Best, LB

[kallend]

Good ideas, LB.
