Where was it confirmed the next would be a 70? Either way, I do agree it will be since two 90s and one 80 have been released since the last 70. However, I'm not saying that it will be the next one but I did get Alpha to confirm they are currently working on a 70mm sport jet. So, I know I will get my wish eventually, just don't know when.

I like to see a super hornet with grass-field ready landing gear that looks scale. A functional tail hook would be pretty fun too. (as long as it didnt rip the plane's tail off!)
I always loved the big Yellow Aircraft F-18 twin. I would love to see a big f-18 twin fan, but it seems most folk dont want twins.....why is this?

My buddy John would lose his mind in a good way if MRC released an F-100!
I am encouraged by the talk of the next one being a 70mm. While I have been chewing through the L-39 thread and watching the bideos since that one has been released, my freshly maidened BAe Hawk needs a brother 70mm brother first.

I believe one of the MRC folks said they weren't going there because it wasn't financially feasible for them, especially since HSD and other companies make them.

I think HSD models would be an excellent addition to the Motion family. But alas it always is of a political nature, and HSD might not do it.

If you choose HSD's 90mm Viper Pro, there is quite literally no comparison, with the 90mm HSD being head and shoulders above the E-flight in virtually every single category, except for the safe function. BUT, if you put an Admiral Receiver with stability in it, waalaa, you have the exact same thing as their safe.

I asked about HSD about a year ago and if I recall correctly it had to do with volume...HSD is a very small manufacturer so we wouldn't be able to have a sustainable relationship based on their production limitations. That could change but I believe that was the jist of it. I loved my HSD 105mm F-16s! Just don't have the adequate open space for it.

As for the 75mm, we had one and it was not great, not even close. Terrible designed nose wheel and the stock power system would not get it off a grass field. Not to mention, it is a big edf with fixed gear! :Loser:
The FMS Viper is way beyond the HSD 75mm in my opinion.

So in the interest of our respectful disagreement, you stated your case, here's mine. But I stand by this plane 150%.

PS, I'd like to see a Freewing C-130! So I wont have to consider purchasing a HK one. An S-3 Viking would be awesome. Anything but another single engine war bird. I love war birds, (grew up with them). Just tired of seeing the same thing over, and over, and over, etc.

I always jump on them like a dog on a bone! Fixed gear and all. You must have got a crappy one, as I'm on my second and it's one of my very favorite aircraft. The HSD 75mm is a significantly smaller air frame, with a significantly bigger drive train. It's doesn't have retracts, or that pretty canopy, but it's fit and finish is second to none. You won't find any unpainted bare foam on my HSD. If ya can't stand the fixed gear, heck take them off and hand launch, (Alpha actually taught me that LOL). I've never minded the fixed gear one bit! This was my first EDF after getting back into the hobby, and Pete himself help me learn how to set it up and fly it : ). It's not good, it's spectacular & I love it. I think the landing gear is great, point me at that grass field! Meet me and I'll make a believer out of you too James!

As for the 90mm, I love sport jets and have wanted to try the HSD 90mm Viper for quite some time but haven't grabbed one yet. Every time I seem to be ready to get one, something like the F22 comes out and I jump on it instead. Hopefully sometime this spring though!
