It looks like a kindergarten toy.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

I'm always lurking about, here or on the other one:Cool:

Ya know I'd probably go for one of those.

Hahahaha, looks like it but i'm not sure. I just like the plane, it is a bit unusual.

[DCORSAIR]

Sure has been quiet around here as far as a new release goes, anyone with a hint of anything new coming?:)I won't tell anyone else:Not-Talking:.

Please don't make me go to the dark side and buy an Eflite product, just give me my 90mm super scale :f18 and I will be happy.LOL

It might be from a static model produced in the old Eastern Block, like Ukraine.

Yes, whatever happened to all those secret projects, like Trident? Or did they go the way of RotorScale? Or, heaven help us, is MRC being assimilated by the "collective" (Horizon)?

I'm still waiting patiently on the 6s 70mm V2 F35! :Don't-tell-Anyone:
