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

[Camo Dan]

I would love to see JU88 from flightline. Would be awesome

[Porkster]

I would still like to see Motion and freewing bring a F100 to the table. I know the flex is nearly out but that wouldn't stop other manufactures releasing the same plane in a different size. 80mm for me please.
Re Launch and update the eurofighter please, new style lightweight 80- 90mm class.
More commercial airliners please, prop or jet. There are some real classics that need to be explored in the RC market especially in the foam ready to fly sector.
More Micro foamies too please. Sub 500mm with gyro would be great.

I would love to see a Hs 129B one of my very favorite Luftwaffe birds

Good evening Pilots! I think one of the most incredible aircraft that freewing needs to bring back into the industry is the Icon A5. Let's think large with a nice Pusher motor that has a nice high pitch sound. 1300mm or larger.

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

Ya know I've refueled many of these. Brings back a lot of memories. I was flying a Pacer when I was servicing these things. There was an Airline called, "Air Pacific" that flew these between Bakersfield and San Francisco. They were brand new at the time. We got stuck with those guys right after the airline deregulation. Basically all the larger jets all pulled out of Bakersfield, IE United, and Hughes Air-west. Nice to see one of those, I later heard they didn't do to good because of the four engines. More fuel and more maintenance. But it was a heck of a plane for sure, and would make a nice model for sure.

It's not fast, and the Dash 8 with only two engines that are more powerful albeit less maintenance, and with it's redesigned wing making it much faster took over the commuter market. The only saving grace for my bird has been it's STOL, it's off airport operation capabilities, and the fact that it uses the most prolific turboprop engine of all time the PT-6, making parts readily available. But our are scheduled to be retired in a few years, and that will leave only about 7 or 8 birds still operating worldwide with companies such as Air Tindy, Air Greenland, and Canada's Antarctic Survey. Every bird has it's day, end of an age for mine soon...

How's about you reuse some of that B-24 engineering and make a Dash-7? A bird that can take of in less than 1200ft at and land in as little as 800ft weighing more that 45,000lbs deserves to be made right? A true STOL aircraft, that's not some stripped down over powered Cub! I'm a little biased as I'm one of the lucky few that still gets to fly this tough old bird. Freewing would be the only company I'd trust to get it done right!

I would like to see a Rockwell B-1-B Lancer 4x70-90mm. Would be a great addition to the Super Scale Series and I would be the first to pre-order. I am sure this would be in the $1000 range but it would definitely set itself apart in the EDF market.

Whilst they would undoubtedly be cool, the potential issue i see with stealth bombers and mach 3 deltas is freewing typically does a great job catering for unimproved surface operations. So you have an SR-71 for example which flies on tarmac only,cutting anyone that flies from grass out of the potential market (this is eflite's usual strategy lol) or you have one with hilariously non-scale undercarriage, which upsets a different category of modeller.

My LX SR-71 can handle short dry grass.

[RRHandy]

Aros, Thanks for sharing those. Lmao.

[Aros]

Agreed! I always say it looks like something Darth Vader would fly. Kelly Johnson was a genius. Designed in the 50's and it still looks futuristic today.

For those of you who haven't heard the "Speed Check" story, enjoy...

For those of you who haven't heard the "Buzz The Tower" story, enjoy...

[T-CAT]

Awesome video and pic, guys! The SR-71 is one of my favorite jets. The documentaries, walk-around videos, cockpit videos, etc. are always phenomenal to read and watch. It is such a mystical jet, way beyond its time, a legend, and still looks "out of this world" today.

[Aros]

Great pic LB! Just hangin' with my pal the Habu. Love it.

[Elbee]

All this talk of the Blackbird I had to take it down and get her airborne. The dust is free of charge.

Aros, Looks good to me with the dust and much like Bu.No. SR-71961 on exhibition here at the Cosmosphere only the nose needs the paint rubbed off from all the hand prints. Best, LB

If you're that picky over details, you should stick to static models. My criteria is this: 1.) Does it look like the real thing and not a caricature, 2.) Does it fly, 3.) Does it have landing gear. I'm willing to accept fixed, non scale landing gear as long as conditions 1 & 2 are met. Firm believer in K.I.S.S..

Preaching to the choir here. I'll have a B2 stealth bomber with tractor wheels if it means I can actually get up off the grass. But a lot of guys hold the view that jets are for tarmac and are critical when concessions are made to broaden its theatre of operations.

Could you imagine the reaction if they released a 6S EDF with fixed landing gear lol.

[f4u ausie]

these r models cost grass fieilds .....mmmm 4 me i agree flying profile first ,.... what an incredible aircraft those engines....... wow

Agreed. While I am a HUGE proponent of scale details, I am quite willing to make concessions where it makes sense. If Freewing were to release a SR-71, I would expect the profile to be spot on. I would expect many scale details that LX simply would have never bothered with. But I would not expect the scale gear for instance. Oleo struts as is typical with most Freewing models would make sense. Concessions.
