    Hey All,

    This guy has been designing, 3DP printing, and building VTOl Harriers and F-35s.

    His build series is quite entertaining at least to me and the tech is worth the watch.

    I, too, would like to see FreeWing do a full blown F-35.

    I would think the cost would be up there, but what a great project.

    Best, LB
    F-35 is a splendid idea! We recently got to watch up close a F-35A make four low approaches to our airport in Cody, WY. The pilot (USAF) is based out of Hill AFB, UT, and is a demonstrator pilot on this aircraft. I had never seen one in person before, but it was totally cool! I'll include a few pics I took right off the approach end of runway 04 at YRA field in Cody.

    I'd go for any version (A,B, or C) as they would all be very cool!

    Cheers

    A Harrier would be incredible, especially VTOL obviously.

    I'd buy a Freewing quality Hawker Hunter in 70, 80 or 90mm size. There are models out there now from other sources, but they are poorly engineered.

    I’d buy either a Harrier or F35 if they did VTO.

ID:	380596 I'd go for one and know exactly how I'd paint it.

    I think that the Typhoon or the Sea Fury or the Tempest in 1600 mm would be something different that would certainly appeal to me. We have slightly less than a year 'til the 80th anniversary, it would sure be great to see a kit commemorating the event.

    I’d love to see a Typhoon, especially considering Black Horse already makes it, Motion just doesn’t carry it. I love my little FMS Typhoon and a bigger version would be fantastic.

    G5, always liked the look and stance of that airframe.

    Bought a short kit for a OS Max .91 4-Stroke years ago,

    Still have the cowling and the OS.

    Anyway, would love one in 1600 MM or larger.

    Still looking for a new FlightLine 1600 mm warbird offering from MotionRC...

    Best, LB

    p-40 or p-36, or p-40 with radial cowl as an option.

    May have to bring some hip waders, but then, being on the West coast, you'd be used to that! This reminds me of living in B.C. again, mind you, I'll take the rain and NYC can have the smoke for a change!!

    Yep, you're right, I should have said 1500mm. Now, a dual offering like they did with the Corsair (bubble top or birdcage, or Razorback in this case) would be cool. Still, I'd love to see a B model P51 as there isn't one available now that FMS dropped their 1400mm model.

    The FMS Razorback is a great model but I wished it was bigger and I really didn't like how sensitive the foam was to fingerprints/dents...The slightest pressure would put a small impression in the foam. I repainted mine years back...

    If a 1600 mm Razorback P 47 is what you want, FMS already has one. My buddy Dave G has several and they're all great planes. A Zero, A P51B, A Bearcat, something that FMS doesn't already have out or in the works, remember the Tigercat??
