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

[CVA59]

I think this would make a nice candidate for a 70mm or even a 90mm.

F3D Skynight.

Mostly, I was joshing around, since the OV-10 is mentioned here more often than I think any other wish-list bird. The Flite Test bird is nowhere near the league of the Freewing or FMS models, but then again, I'm sure it didn't cost them near the investment to produce, as would a true-scale Bronco model.

The FT foamboard birds have their own appeal, not the least of which is that they not only sell the kits, they also offer the plans for free on their website, if someone wants to just buy their own foamboard and make one. The FT videos are some of the most fun to watch, because it really looks like they're having a blast, building and flying their birds, and they're not shy about showing the failures, either.

I even bought one of their Simple Scout kits from the Hobbytown in Provo earlier this week, while we were up there for MIL's surgery. I think what it will lack in scale detail, it'll make up for in fun.

I'd hoped the Flite Test crew was going to be at the Arizona Electric Festival last month, though I certainly wasn't disappointed to visit the MRC booth there.

You're absolutely correct Hoomi ;)................but where I'm at in this sport/hobby is way past the entry level $50 bird that is no where near what I want from a scale looking airframe.
Now mind you, for me and many others that are here on this forum, it is all about the fun AND satisfaction of flying a real looking airframe.:Cool:

I am with you. I had been considering the Viggen that Flitetest makes but after adding up what my total investment would had been to bring it to my desired specs I realized it just was not worth it. I rather put that money towards a better built and looking airplane that will last me a lot longer.

[OV10]

Well, it is made out of foamboard, and from everything I've seen, the Flite Test guys are all about just having fun.

:)

I think there's something to be said about that.

Hey there Quickstop, nice to see around here again. 'Been a while.

Gotta remember, they're in business to SELL airplanes not just build them..... Lockheed T-33

It looks like a kindergarten toy.

Mod apmech's approach and add to it ;)

5) Replace FMS P-40B with FLRC 1600mm
6) Replace FMS discontinued F6F Hellcat with FLRC 1600mm
7) A FLRC 1600mm P-63 King Cobra
8) But first and foremost is the FLRC 1600mm :ov10 :)

[apmech1]

1) Replace FMS 1700mm Corsair with FLRC 1600mm Corsair..... Check :corsair
2) Replace FMS 1700mm P-51D with FLRC 1600mm P-51D...... ???? Take my money now!!LOL

3) Sweet scale twin 80 F-18 C......????? :f18 Take my $$$ now!:)

4) Replace FMS 1700mm P-47 D bubble with FLRC 1600mm P-47D Razorback.....????

5) Replace VQ P-40 with FLRC 1600mm P-40.....???? :p40

There are several sites that have the Drakken as a 64 mm.

I would prefer a Viggen or Drakken in the 70-80mm range. But If FW did a Viggen in a 90mm I would not mind.

[Valkpilot]

I was curious about that Viggen's specs but after checking it out it is way smaller than I thought. I guess I will still be waiting for a FW model or when ever Aerotetris starts selling the 1100mm model again.

Hey Evo, I just noticed that Banana has a mini Viggen in stock. Be careful with that one.

To be honest the Draken actually kinda trips my trigger. Just like the different sort of look of it. I might need to take a stab at that puzzle plane offering once I get caught up. To be honest I haven't been doing anything but working of late.

[Greyhound61]

It would be great to see some FW Saab jets! I personally want to see the AJS-37 Viggen but the Draken would be great.

Not sure if you had seen this earlier post about this company makes several Saab jet kits out of foam pieces. http://www.aerotetris.com/?

Hi Evoman,
I have seen the Aerotetris way of building an aircraft. Very interesting! I am very intrigued to give it a try building an J-35 Draken 1600mm. FW or FMS 90mm EDF, retracts (FW Venom V2 ?).

T-33, or P-80/F-80 80mm
SU-25/SU-35 Twin 70mm, or single 80mm
MIG-23 80mm
SU-24 80mm
Saab Viggen 80/90mm
MIG-25/MIG-31 Twin 80/90mm

Just a starting list

I'd buy them all, I am hooked on FW EDF's. I own F-15C 90mm,(God's plane), the 80mm F-86, Mirage 2000 80mm, A-6 80mm, A-4 80mm, F-18 64mm, A-10 Twin 80mm, and I can't stop there, so if they'd make the above list I am a guaranteed buyer!
