https://www.freewing-model.com/freew...f-jet-pnp.html Looks like Freewing still has a few. Apparently someone thought a thrust vectoring tail pipe would be a good idea on this one. Turned out to be a really bad idea I think, but who knows. Looks like they still have some.
I don't like this because I would like a tandem cockpit. But I could get one of these, remove the thrust vectoring, add a proper rudder and waalaa Super F-18. Looks like they did learn their lesson about the tail vectoring thing with the new F-22.

Be aware the one you linked is NOT a real Freewing site. It is a scam site as confirmed by Tom here many times!

I really like the FW 90mm F-18 especially because of the TVs but realize that feature is very polarizing. You either love it or hate it. The Euro fighter was the same generation FreeWing product before FreeWing was even known here in the U.S.. The SU's where good too with the SU-35 being better than the 27.
As far as the F-22, I really think FW screwed up not putting lights and TVs on it and I have added both to mine and love it.

Screwed up is a pretty powerful term. How so? They seem to be selling a lot of them. W

We can disagree :)... as I said it’s polarizing. They did sell a ton of those F-18’s even doing a V-2.
As I said lights and TVs on the F-22. I added them to mine.
Heck there are some pretty strong comments about no inner gear doors and that they didn’t cover the rudder servos. But that said my post is my opinion and I respect yours.

Motion should survey past customers, maybe two or more planes bought from them.
Maybe a checklist of possible future planes or we could submit a list from 1 to 5 of planes we want to buy for our squadrons. I think that would give them a reliable indication of planes that would actually sell well.
