I've seen F-15's use the tail hooks for static full burn engine runs, but never to land. Where did that happen? I figured that the landing gear and tail hooks are not built for deck style landing on an F-15.

Navy jets aren't the only ones to have them. I've seen F-15s and F-16s with them but they operate out of fields with shorter runways than the USAF standard.Originally posted by roxndirt64 View PostI always thought carrier jets with functioning tail hooks would be awesome!

Looks pretty, adds weight, does absolutely nothing - do it, Freewing! Guaranteed spare fuselage sales!

Getting an Avro Arrow as your very first EDF is going to depend on the size and cost. If its a cheap 64 -70 mm no problem.Originally posted by CF-105 View PostAn Avro Arrow would be enough to get me to actually try an EDF...
But if its a 80mm-90mm costing $250+ I would highly suggest starting out with a trainer EDF like a Hawk T1 so you will be ready on day one of a release of your dream jet.

I have one from Jepe at considerable research time and expense to obtain. Haven't got her built yet as the mods to get her to fly decent are extensive, but worth it to me. I'd love to have a FW EPO PNP version that flew well out of the box, 80mm or 90mm. I've always loved the century series jets, F-100 being at the top of that list.

The thing is that on that short list, practically everybody wants the F-100, and aside from the FlyFly, nobody has made one. I'd even consider it depending on the size and if I can get back up to speed on jets.[/Q
You guys seriously think the F-100 would sell well? It don't do nothing for me, but I would probably buy one just to fly it.

I agree on a F100. While it isn't for me, it is highly requested all over the place. It would seem that one would definitely sell well if you go by social media and forums!Originally posted by Valkpilot View Post

I think MRC/FW have proven they listen to their customer base! Just because they don't make off the wall planes that would be a huge risk and likely a money loser, doesn't mean they aren't listening to their customers!

By the way mate, Welcome to, "Hobby Squawk"! Ya know F-14's aren't real plenty-full in the modeling world. When you compare the cost and quality of the FW F-14. The deal is phenomenal. Best part the plane actually works. Good luck.Originally posted by Icarus View Post
I'll find one better when they stow the mains, that's all I was saying. It's a great model and hats off to FW for it being as good as it is.

You know, the F-14 is kind of my, "Elinor". I built a JHH, (Jet Hanger Hobbies) F-14 many years ago. Needles to say I completely destroyed it in every conceivable way the very first time I flew it. With about 25 on lookers I might add, LOL. So to say it smarted a bit is a sever understatement. If and when
I decide I can stand to own one again, it will be a Freewing for sure. Good luck finding one better, OH Jet Hanger Hobbies has a better one. It will take at least a year to assemble. Good luck mate. W

Same with the SU, would easily settle for a non-scale bay in contrast.

Viper that is a matter of opinion. W

I have two of the Mig 29's, too and as you've noted, I think it's wonderful. I love the SU-35 as well but I haven't found the VT to be that useful. I just don't fly it that way.Originally posted by Phantom View Post
I honestly think that VT in their conventional F-16 90mm would be a gimmick, however VT in an F-16XL would probably be awesome due to it having a delta wing. Deltas seem to be even better when adding VT.
I wanted the F-18 90mm with VT, and and the FW Eurofighter with VT even more! However I only discovered FW and MRC last year and by the time I did those two weren't available.
Due to your praise I now own 2 of the Sebart Mig-29's with VT. I ordered the gray, they sent me the red by mistake, then I got the gray one. I was hesitant because of the EPS foam, but you've had yours awhile and I've seen you praise it on here probably no less than 8 times.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on the FW SU-35 VT though, I've seen far too many videos on the ol' YouTube showing that model was MADE for VT!
