Nah, the Ju287 is just a little too weird for me. Maybe I'd feel differently if there was one that I could look at.
I have flown models of all three of the ones I mentioned. I like the HE219 the best.Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

A 1600mm Bronco should not only be a good size for those looking for a large bird but also for those that would normally shy away from large airplanes because they might have small filed they fly at.
I say that because a Bronco would be able to take off in a shorter distance and it can fly slower than most planes.
Now they would just have to make the wings easy to put on and remove.

Only a couple of those bullets also did find me. Only reason I stopped cursing that body armor. I wouldn't be here, two center mass well placed shots to the heart one to the front plate and one to the back. Now my back is fouled up for the rest of my life.

I just come to the realization that if I do or do not talk about it they are still here so sometimes I just feel like letting go, and I just mean for talking about all that went on.

We could have an EDF OV-10. Wasn't there one with a supplementary turbojet? I could be wrong, but, thought I read that somewhere. Could Foil be an OV-10?

This was originally posted in the F-14 V2 thread but thought it would be good to also post it here to get others input.

I would like to see a F-14 park flyer. Something similar to the F-8 where it can be tossed in the air, fly on a 3S, and ok if it was fixed wing. Give up a little scale, features, and performance for smaller F-14 that still looks the part in the air. The F-14 is one of my all time favorite planes, but the current Freewing F-14 isn't the best for flying off a rough grass strip, and it cost and size prohibitive.
My reply:
This is an interesting proposition that I am sure would become popular if done right. But I don't think it would cut it for most as strictly a basic park flyer without landing gear.
As for the power system you have to take into account that the F-14's was designed around a twin engine layout that is spread far enough apart that leaves no room for a single EDF set up.
This would conclude that any F-14 model would have to be a twin EDF. So lets say a twin 64mm might do at the low end that would need two 3S batteries.
The next thing that would have to be a must would be for it to have the option to have retracts or none. As for the wings I can totally see it having a basic swing wing setup that can manually be locked into place in three positions.
Ideally there should be two versions a basic park flyer with no gear and manual wings and top of the line with retracts and servo actuated wings.
