What New FlightlineRC or FreeWing Model would you like to see come next!

[tab28682]

Great history lesson tab28682 thanks for clarifying. Did I understand that correctly? Were you actually part of the NATF program and that's why you built the 1/20 model?

You are correct, it is too obscure for mass production but boy it sure looks cool!

I am about to retire after 35 years in the engineering model shop at Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth (was General Dynamics until about 1993 or so.) Supported many, many programs over the years, including all aspects of ATF/ F-22 and JSF/F-35. NATF was a minor subset of ATF.

I would like to see The B1 Lancer as the next Motion RC Freewing Model it's the only supersonic strategic Nuclear Bomber in America's arsenal and I think it would make for a great addition to the motion RC line up and also it would be nice if Motion RC would consider doing a concept aircraft the US Navy consider building a more stealthy version of its now retired F-14 TomCat which looked like a cross between a F-22 Raptor And a F-14 Super TomCat because of their dislike of the single engine configuration of the F-35 lightning force Upon them do to joint strike fighter program while in development the F-35 lightning but due to budget restrictions they cancel their version of the more stealthy Futuristic F-14 TomCat and just stuck to the F/A 18 Super Hornet and added some modest modifications. it would be a very unique opportunity if motion RC could somehow bring a wonderful concept to life from the pages of engineering to reality.

Your history and cause and effect are all mixed up there.

The aircraft in your avatar photo was the NATF, the Navy Advanced Tactical Fighter. It had zero to do with the F-14, other than as a possible F-14 replacement.

The NATF program was over long before the JAST/JSF/F-35 program had flown a prototype. Ergo, this aircraft not moving forward in development had nothing to do with any decisions related to the F-35.

What really killed any chance of there ever being a NATF in service was the fact that in the late 1980s until early 1991, the Navy was spending billions of dollars they did not actually have on the A-12 Avenger II.

It was a great looking concept, though. Myself and a coworker built the only large-ish display model ever built of the NATF when the program was active. It was a 1/20 scale model, hand carved and machined from basswood and plywood, with working swing wings and a full cockpit. The model still exists. Here is a (poor) picture of the 1/20 NATF next to a 1/20 scale F-22A model.

This is far too obscure for a mass produced foam EDF, but would make someone a great scratch build project.

It's funny...I was thinking just this morning that I would love to have a large B1. Talk about an under-represented airplane!
If they can manage to swing the wings of an F-14, they could do the same for a B1.

Sign me up for a F-22/F-14 Super Tomcat hybrid!

I shudder to think of the licensing cost for the X-Wing! Motion could end up with a new logo that sports mouse ears... 😱

[RRHandy]

I like the last one Aros.

[Aros]

Current wish list not necessarily in order:

FlightLine 1.6-1.7M P-51D Mustang
FlightLine 1.6-1.7M P-47D Razorback
Freewing Twin 64/70mm SR-71 Blackbird
FlightLine 1.6-1.7M BF-109G
FlightLine 1.6-1.7M Ju 87 Stuka
Freewing Twin 70/80mm B-2 Spirit
FlightLine 2M B-25
FlightLine 2M B-17
Freewing 90mm F-117 Nighthawk
Freewing Twin 80mm Concorde
Freewing Twin 80mm B-1 Lancer

Oh and for good measure...

Freewing Quad 64mm X-Wing Fighter.

[f4u ausie]

Next one will a prop plane 4 sure zzzzeeerroo. I am saving already

[Cws]

Please,give us a F 102A, it will be a great next delta. There were so many squadrons equipped with them everyone can find a color scheme they like.

[Cws]

We need an A 26 Invader with the bomber nose and guns nose so everyone can have their favorite.

[ridgerunner]

Another vote for a B-17 - (same scale as the 2m B-24).

[Hiflyer45]

Well it’s got to be a Hurricane.......... just picture it sitting next to the Spitfire .......

[Scale Freak]

Myself, I would like to see the deHavilland DHC5 Buffalo.

[CF-105]

Would like to see a Flightline 2m B-17 or 1.6 - 1.8m Mossie.

And would really like to see a 2m+ Black Horse or Nexa DH-89 Dragon. Come on Alpha, I know you like this one.....

No! Please don't make one of those! I'd have to buy it!! ;)

[Cws]

one of these would be nice to have in 15 or 1,600 size.

[sfcfury]

I know I have said it before, I would love to see a Freewing or Flightline 1600mm BF 109 or FW 190... If I had to pick one, I would go with the BF 109... those gear are intimidating for sure, but that's iconic warbird no doubt... and with the way these guys are making the aircraft right now, I think a 1600mm would be a dream!!

A 2000+mm B-17 in either one of those schemes...Yes please!!
