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

[Grover54]

The late B.B. Weber and his crew did an OUTSTANDING job on his HUGE TU-95 Bear. I actually got to see it, it is truly a work of art. I cannot imagine the man hours, money and patience it took to build that thing.

No Kidding! Makes you wonder how many Aero engineers ended up in Siberia until they got the CRP to function properly! Hell, they probably just stole the 4-prop CRP design from Howard Hughes who did it with his XF-11 Spy plane almost 10 years earlier! LOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

The Bear!!! 1/10th scale.... A monster for sure... ;):Cool: 22 ft. WS.

Two different Med cruises on the Nimitz had the Bears flying over us.
First time when Phantoms were on board and the second time with Tomcats.
Can you say "Launch the Alert Fives" ;)
Those turbo Contra props weren't all that loud when they came cruising over top with our 2 birds in the camera view but then again they were just poking along to peek longer :P

Actually, the XF=84H only had ONE propeller, this has EIGHT:

I'll be incredibly happy with my new Freewing 90mm EDF F-18C. However, in the future I'd love to see a MiG-29/35 and/or Su-27/35.

I realized something the other day, when I saw a picture of this plane online somewhere. Really can't remember where. But the picture was a bit stirring, for me. It was a picture of a. "Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech". Yea this is a Unicorn if there ever was one. Some say this was the loudest plane ever built. Well at least the ones that heard it run seemed to think so. Here is the link to read up on it, "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republ...Thunderscreech".

If you read up on it, I'll tell you this. Strangely enough I think this as a propeller model might make a pretty good flying model. LOL This thing actually had a Propeller, Jet Thrust from the rear, and an After burner. The propeller tips were continuously breaking the speed of sound, so to say it was thundering while idling is an understatement. So with that I'll leave you to this test pilots graceful words.

Nice!!! Thanks Geek!

[EA-6B Geek]

That's cool Woody. Maybe if someone released an F-84 Thunder Streak, you could mod your way to that early un-ducted fan X plane. I think an F-84 would make a great EDF model.
Think I'd rather have one of these, XA2D-1 Skyshark. Go Navy!

I've been scanning the posts here and a lot of the wishes seem to have come true... like the FlightLine 1600mm Corsair (which I purchased) - BUT my wish would be a good P38 20cc 69.5" ARF and if FlightLine could keep the detail and quality recipe they have with their new 1600mm Corsair I'm in! Unfortunately, FL's current P38 1600mm Lightning is ok but falls short in terms of having the same level of detail and quality finish their Corsair has but hey, that's just me.
I like the VQ P38 silver lightning https://vqwarbirds.com/product/vq-p-...6-epgp-silver/ but they're above my pay grade :Scared:

From what others have said here it seems like the Flightline P-38 is still the best flying P-38 available which should be the most important feature. Any model can be customized to look highly detailed if someone is willing to put in the work. But it is a lot harder to make a great looking model with a bad design fly well.

[Evan D]

I had the "other one", JLM or something like that. Twin .75's and while it flew well the quality was horrid. Needed 1/4" of down trim since the wing incidence was molded wrong, horrible retracts, bad fiberglass work, and as you noted formers not glued in. After a couple seasons I pulled my gear out and GAVE it away.

I had that one. Beautiful flyer but the QC was pretty bad. Formers not even glued in, and others with weak reinforcing, etc...And the canopy profile was waaaay off which really bugged the crap out of me, lol.

What type of paint are people using to Custom paint the foam jets ?

While this is long, it's an excellent primer (no pun intended) on custom painting foamies.

I agree. Foam painted white does look much better than bare foam.

100 % totally agree +1

[JamesonC]

[Woodcock]

Um, you do realize that lots of full scale aircraft use white paint, too, right? Yes, my E-flite T-28, Carbon Z Cessna and Cirrus SR22T have a lot of bare, white foam on them. Why? Because that's the exact same color schemes as on the real ones. Why paint white over white and just add weight when it's not needed?

I respectfully disagree with this. The weight is insignificant for the added paint in my opinion. This is a cop out for the manufacturer plain and simple in my opinion. It's acceptable in a sport model, but I still really don't like it. But you put the super scale label on something, and I had better not be seeing white foam beads. I just respectfully disagree.

Woody

PS the real ones do not have a white bead foam finish, they are a white paint finish, no sign of compressed foam beads.

[Bandiferous93]

They love to leave tons of bare unpainted foam on almost all their planes. I could go on and on about their crummy quality. So no Eflight Viper for me anytime soon. Besides your Avante jet is almost identical to the Viper. I have one of those new in the box.
