LX F-22's (singe and twin 70mm's) fly great. The twin 70mm F/A-18E and single 70mm F-16 are nice, too. Swapping the stock EDF's with more powerful ones and using heavier batteries without properly reinforcing, that's asking for trouble. And they made a forward-swept wing fighter (Su-37) that flew without needing a gyro. Poop all you want on them today, but they lead the way and raised the bar with the first "superscale" foam jets.

Originally posted by F106DeltaDart View PostLX is always extra weird to me because it’s very hard to judge how well their individual airframes will fly. It’s a strange mix of what works versus what needs a complete redo. Their Wildcat is great pretty much out of the box. Some, like their B-25, need only minor upgrades to be great models. The majority, like their F-117, are great flyers if you totally re-engineer them. I put electric retracts, added a spar, and an FMS EDF in mine and it’s a real sweet flyer! Then there is the last category, the un-attainables. I’ve owned their F-4, F-35, and yes, I actually did own the YF-23. I just thought it was my crappy piloting skills that were the problem! I guess it wasn’t just me. All these machines plus the PAK-50, B-2 and a few others have huge 70+ page threads on RCG with few successful flights despite extensive mods and improvements. It’s just a shame they haven’t strived to improve their standards over the years like every other manufacturer. They do make some beautiful models.

Yes Freewing used to have a B-17. It was okay for the time but you are correct...If they were to ever come out with a new one it would most definitely be New Gen Delicious!My YouTube RC videos:

1. You are a boring, vanilla pilot with no experience or skill if you do not believe the FW SU-35 is the holy grail of RC jets and all others are junk.
2. If you disagree with #1, you are an idiot.
