Me too, although eventually these aircraft fail, unless you replace the servos, motor & electronics. When you build so many, there bound to much failure. I'd rather see ARF's that can be built to a person own specifications. Just saying", it no fun to get three flights to see a servo fail. That can't be fun. I'm no longer with MRC, so I'm stating the lessons learned. Matt

Personally, I think that the market needs more quality Luftwaffe warbirds, in 1.5m or larger. On my personal want list:
FW-190D-9
Do-335
Ju-88
Bf-109E (even though Durafly is about to release a 1.1m Emil, a significantly larger version of this icon BoB fighter would be awesome.)
Ar-234 (either V6 or V8... four 64mm fans would be crazy cool!)
In a size that would handle grass fields well. Of course, scale flaps and retracts, too.---

I’d prefer this to an F4 everyday of the week. Make it twin 80s and you’d have another winner like the A10. Decent wing loading and reasonable flying times.Originally posted by M.C. Redtail View PostI would love to see an F-22 70 mm or 80 mm twin edf's, to me that would be the ideal airplane

I don't an want an F4 to be that large. I just want one that can land on a short cut grass runway since the RC club that I am a member does not have a paved runway.

I just got into thinking that the FW-190D has a very similar fuselage as the FW-TA152H that FlightLine already makes. This could help getting a 190D-9 produced using the same fuselage. Flightline would just need to make new shorter wings for it.Originally posted by Oxotnik View PostPersonally, I think that the market needs more quality Luftwaffe warbirds, in 1.5m or larger.

Or you could just try retrofitting a TA 152H with the same wings used in the Flightline FW-190 and presto your own 190D-9!

I have the FlightLine Ta-152. I enjoy flying it, but it's not well behaved on my grass field. I've pushed the CG as far back as I feel is safe and have raked the gear forward a few degrees. It's still really light in the tail and wants to nose over. I believe that if the 190A wings were put on the Ta-152 fuselage, it'd be really close to a 190 Dora. For grins, one day, I'll have to see if my Freewing 190A wings fit on the FlightLIne Ta-150. I don't think they will though. I believe that the Ta-152 is slightly smaller scale than the Freewing 190A; therefore, the Ta fuselage will be more narrow than the A model fuselage, and the wing saddle would be way out of whack.Originally posted by Evoman View Post

The bigger it is, the bigger the wheels are, the bigger the wheels are the better it will be on grass.......Originally posted by Tony617 View Post

If they do make one I really hope it is not a single 80mm, what ever is next I hope its big, another twin 80 A10 style frame.

Better Retracts! I know from personal experience retracts are made weak. There are so many better options to build a solid retract. For one they shouldn't have brass jackscrews. Second, remove the pot-metal locking plate and make it thicker metal. Then you might have a retract that will hold up to some harder landings. Airplanes can come and go, better gear!

How about a F18 Hornet in Blue Angels color scheme. 90 mm of course. It would be easy to add this model to the line since all you have to do is paint it and add the proper decals. Friend of mine has the F16 in Thunderbird colors, very nice model looks and flies great very visible especially on cloudy days. The military grey models are too hard too see for my 69 year old eyes. I fly Stinger 90 as well as many other prop planes.

Yes, they can only take so much. I always add some white lithium grease to the jack screw. Seems to smooth them out while operating. Not too much as it can gather debris on grass or dirt. Cheers! MattOriginally posted by BrandonTW82 View PostThe landing gear they put on that new Spitfire 1600 mm is jam up. It has Springs in it and almost feels like hydraulic compression. It's pretty beefy too looking at it up close.

Would like to see an F4D Skyray, 90mm super scale. Or F22 / FA18 90mm super scale. Any one of those would fit my fancy. Since they already have the molds, would it be that hard to make the f18 out of epo, and get rid of the thrust vectoring and add some nice grass capable landing gear with beefier mounts ?

I've been secretly reviewing the new Flightline 3200mm OV-10 for Alpha and I can tell you it looks great but has too much power however the functional clam doors make up for it.Originally posted by RCjetdude View PostSure has been quiet lately. Must be about time for a new release. :f4phantom Something's got to happen soon. The anticipation is building.... no, wait, just a gas bubble. :Silly:
