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

[Woodcock]

I have more than 1/2 of these myself. I guess they do listen to the answers when they ask a question.

Viper that is a matter of opinion. W

Yeah, I saw this shorty after the video was released nearly 3 decades ago. They never actually used it on a production F-16.

Are you saying you'd like to see vectored thrust on the F-16 model as this thread is a sort of "wish list" for the next Freewing model? I've got the Freewing F-18 with VT, also the Freewing SU-35 VT, along with the Freewing (SebArt) Mig 29 VT and I had the Eurofighter with VT. With the exception of the Mig-29, vectored thrust on the other planes is a gimmick and a useless feature which added nothing but complication to what could have been a very good, simple model. I somehow doubt Freewing will go that route on a new plane.

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!

[Valkpilot]

That would be a cool model to see made. But are you prepared to get one in the case its made into a larger size than expected?

Well, the original was a 70 mm, and it's pretty big, and I don't see how it could be mass produced bigger, but it would be hard not to unless the price + batteries were over $1000. It was at $250, and the 4s 2200s
were running around $50, but that was 10 years ago. I think that if it was an 80mm and running 6s I'd make the jump.

Running out of room.

Have all of them! Addictive

By just looking at the first few pages of this thread you can see that several airplanes have already come to fruition. I would say there has been some significant progress in just 2 years considering the time it takes to develop a new model.
And if you look further you will there have been even more.

F4U Corsair
F4 Phantom
F-22 Raptor
New F-18 Hornet
F8F Bearcat
L-39
F-35

Who knew they tested the F-16 with vectored thrust!

You forgot something:

And for sake of clarity this is not the real airplane, it's the NiceSky version.

This thread is over 2 years old, so I’m curious ............................... Since this thread began, of all the suggestions of what people wanted, how many of those actually came to fruition?
As for me? I’d still like to see a Vulcan. It doesn’t have to be a quad. A twin will do.

I still want my F-16XL, I think I'm developing a thing for delta winged fighters...

[EA-6B Geek]

A Prowler would be totally cool. But if they were to ever do it. It is very important the make working air brakes. There is one of the owners of MRC that use to fly in an A-6 squadron. This is the one and only reason we have a beautiful A-6 in the MRC line up, and I actually own an A-6 from MRC. I haven't flown it yet it hangs in my home office, I will fly it some day. But to be honest I'll probably purchase a back up before I head to the field with it some day. The bottom line, until this guy stands up and commands them to make an EA-6B it's never going to happen LOL. To much risk in their minds. Sad but true.

Best Regards
Woody

Hey Woody, you do realize that the Prowler has no ailerons. Don't think I've seen an RC model like that yet. The trailing edge is all flap, except for the wingtip which is speedbrake. I'd buy two, perhaps three. So far I've been able to keep myself from buying an A-6, and turning it into a Prowler. I hope they one day build one for us!!

[GBLynden]

I need a new jet guys. Release something new soon! lol

[Phantom]

Before I got to see it at the Cleveland Airshow I got to see an SR-71 taking off in Okinawa. And I doubt if we'll ever truly know the Blackbird's top speed, but we do know it could outrun SAMs and Foxbats.

Outrun, and out climb and do it efficiently. The Blackbird had a significant reduction in fuel consumption at cruise altitude at Mach 2.7, something to the effect of 60% more fuel efficient due to the hybrid scramjet engines.

There's a few YouTube videos done by former Blackbird pilots that talk about seeing Foxbats trying to climb up to the Blackbirds to intercept and tumbling out of the sky, due to their engines ceiling limitations, I'm guessing compressor stall. That's saying something considering Foxbat pilots also wear pressure suits!

[Valkpilot]

I believe officially the airforce only ever admitted to mach 3.2 for the Blackbird. Before my father retired from the Airforce back in the late 90's he worked at Tyndall AFB in FL. There I met a retired SR-71 pilot who told me, the SR-71 could do Mach 3.2 with one engine shut down....

The Valkyrie also scared the bejeebers out of the Soviet Union, prompting them to dump a lot of resources and effort into developing a fighter that would be capable of defending against such a weapons delivery system. An impressive aircraft, particularly considering available technology when it was developed.

Yes, that was the MiG-25's initial mission. And the Soviets ALSO built their own version of the Valk, the Sukhoi T4.

[Hoomi]

Love the XB-70 as well, but those folding wings would be a real bear to model I expect. Anecdotally— the Valkyrie donated radar and weapons systems to the YF-12 program when it was swept out. XF-108 would be a winner, too.

Im not familiar with MRC, but I would think freewing could convert their A6 pretty easy to an EA-6B
