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

[EA-6B Geek]

As mentioned by several of you, I think a large TBM or Wildcat would be great.
I’d still like to see an 80 or 90mm F4D-1 Skyray or F11F Tiger.

Hello Mikep51D and welcome to the Squawk
Seeing as this is your first post and maybe you aren't all that familiar with Motion RC's lineup of Freewing airframes, just wanted to
let you know that a 64mm EDF F-8 Crusader came out in fall of 2017.
Here's the Official Freewing 64mm F-8 Crusader Thread and here is the product page
Unfortunately it is presently out of stock but they will get more.

Best regards,

[Mikep51D]

My first choice would be an F4F WIldcat. Yes I know the gear could be problematic, but maybe not. Then in no particular order;
A6M2 Zero 1600mm
FW190 A8 in a 1600mm size
Hawker Typhoon 1600mm
F8 Crusader - Anything thing known as the Gunfighter should be a great flying airplane. Maybe 2 sizes.
A7 Corsair II
RF4 Phantom or maybe an upgrade kit for existing model

I have the wow planes too. I agree the wings and nacelles are just not right. It needs some washout too

[tab28682]

That definitely was part of it! Same impressions overall, also seemed very heavy on takeoff and landing. Would want to lighten it up and go with a 4 blade electric setup. I talked with the builder for a while through the details, and it was the 141” Don Smith kit. I have the Wowplanes semi-scale kit in the closet as well, but the scale lines are so far off in many parts, I’ve pretty much given up on it. It really would need a set of new wings and nacelles cut for it to look correct. I’m getting setup to move out of my apartment and into a house, so hopefully then I’ll have the bench space to take on some of these larger builds.

My B-29 semi kit is the Jim Young design.

I never cared for the Wowplanes B-29, either. (or most of the other Wowplanes, either)

That Don Smith 141" B-29 would be an epic build, for sure.

Getting back to the topic, I would certainly settle for a nice 1.8m A-26 from Flightline.

[F106DeltaDart]

Was that interest renewed by that great B-29 at the Warbird event at Bomber Field?...:) Pic attached. Loved everything about it but the three bladed props....sigh.

I was guessing that it was the Don Smith design, but did not double check it's wingspan. Looked about right.

I have one of the foam and vac plastic semi kits, about 80", B-29, that was a thread on RC groups about 12 years ago, stashed back in my collection. Same one that Stu flies at BEST.

Would very gladly sell it on if FW did a 2 to 2.2 meter PnP. Even at that size, it will be a small looking model due to the high aspect ratio wing.

That kit looks awesome, but I couldn't transport it unless I bought a trailer. I wonder if it breaks down for transport more then just taking off the wing?

Since you are the builder, you can decide how it breaks down. I would plan on a 3 piece wing and a 2 part fuselage if I ever get to it. A few carbon tubes and plywood bulkheads should do the trick. Maybe I could even get away with a 1 piece fuselage, but the Stabs would need to detach.

PC, It a beauty for sure and would need to be at least 1400mm to do the "parachute modification". Welcome to Hobby Squawk. Best, LB

This is another case where, if you have to have a one of these in a larger size, you need to haunt Ebay and the discussion forum classifieds and not wait for a new model.

If MRC were to do an Icon A-5, it would need to be at least as large as the old DZ Hobby 1.8m/72” span Icon A5. Hobbyking also sold it for a while with a motor designed for 6s lipos.

The little PZ Icon was 1.33 m in span and was a little small, IMO. And there are still lots of them around in owners hands, even if discontinued.

I still have my DZ Hobby big Icon A5, but have not flown it for couple of years. I got the kit before HK got involved in it and set mine up with a Power 32 clone on 4s. Worked very well. The only issue with the big one was the crappy mechanical nose gear retract. The mains were fine. I converted mine to a pure seaplane and removed the retracts.

A good flyer with excellent water handling. You must get the CG correct.

Here is a picture of the kit, me and the model to convey the size, and of mine taking off at a Dallas area float fly.

I'm still hoping for a giant 2200mm+ size B-29 Superfortress. I'm starting to seriously consider picking up the 141" Don Smith kit as a next long term project.

I am still waiting patiently for an A 26 invader,about 1600mm would be fine.
An F 102 80mm would be welcome also.

The fellow Dr Who fans will understand what we are looking for... basically a T.A.R.D.I.S. It's bigger on the inside.

I was about to reply that to xviper. That or rent space in Hogwart's Room of Requirement.

Aros I still cherish my LX PBJ-1



But as you well know, they all have an expiration date and a FlightLine 2000 version would dominate the market.
A 1600 Hellcat and 1700 Skyraider are also needed Alpha

[Aros]

BH still sells the LX B-25. I have had two...One had issues but the the other was great. It's a beautiful size (2000 mm) and good looking model. But with LX you have to beware their component quality. A lot of folks buy it and put their own electronics in it...

This was one of mine I painted up...

[tab28682]

Since there is NO longer an electric B-25 Mitchell available and I missed the FMS ones (now discontinued) a Flightline or Freewing B-25 would be my next must buy!! Ted Lawson's "Ruptered Duck" Be Good livery, Thank you very much !!

Well, there is at least one type of B-25 available. The US dealer for HSD apparently has 1.25m B-25 in stock, in green and silver, for $239.00.

https://hsdjetsusa.com/hsdjets-1250mm-hb-25-green-colors-pnp

Agree that the FMS 1.47m B-25 is better, but if you have to have s B-25....

I owned the 1.25m version for a few years. Liked it.

I would be eternally grateful if MotionRC would come up with a product that allows me to magically allow me to keep all my planes and my car in my garage.

You mean to say that you want MRC to start selling "magic" garage kits? You go into it and suddenly, you're in a football field sized room.

I am starting to think that my only hope for enough storage room for my models
is for someone to invent an interdimensional portal so I can keep stuff stashed one universe away....;)
