  • I was told sometime this week MRC is expecting a Freewing container. I am hoping to pull the trigger on a T45, so I imagine if that's the case, it's very possibly to get a new replenishment of F4 parts.

      We can only hope. Should have the wings repaired by then.

              Maybe you should contact the owner of "SHOCKWAVE" - they could use one of those chutes, but maybe it wouldn't last long!
              This thing brakes from 375 mile an hour! That's a bit faster than F4 landing speeds...

                  • Hey guys! We are happy to announce a limited edition run of the Freewing F-4 Phantom "Ghost Grey" version coming soon!

                    There will be 2 decals sets in the box:
                    The primary set is US Marines Squadron VMFA-531 "Grey Ghosts", of which we are depicting General Keith "Shadow" Stalder's aircraft, BuNos 061007.
                    The second decal set is from US Navy Squadron VF-111 "Sundowners", which was flown by another of our customers, astronaut Robert “Hoot” Gibson aboard the USS Coral Sea in 1972.

                    We will let you know when the pre-orders will start in a few short weeks.

                          • Bravo Zulu ! First across the beach ! I already re-painted mine in the VF-111 Sundowners livery. Glad MRC did this. Some pent up demand from the Navy and Marine guys who don't want to re-paint.

                            • You're right about that, Dahawk! We were inundated with requests for a greyback scheme, and so we thought what better opportunity to put the well deserved spotlight on two mighty men, General Stalder and Hoot Gibson. It still amazes me that we here at Motion RC get to serve them as our customers. I hope seeing their aircraft in the sky again inspires new generations of people who didn't have to live through that perilous time.

                              Of course for people who have another scheme in mind, there's always our good friend Callie.

                                • Nice James! D**m you're going to make me buy another plane. I don't mind giving Callie a little business for my Skull and Cross Bones. But I like this one too. Who knows, I'm in for sure in on this one. Thanks for thinking about us Marine, and Navy guys.

                                  PS, I'd go easy on the limited part, at least until you see the sales numbers on the grey, lol.

                                      Ya know every one knows the Marines are part of the Navy, I love em like brothers. So I'm all good with this. For me it's not that I don't want to paint. It's more a matter of time than anyone else. I just hope I live long enough to be able to fly it. LOL. I'm still working on mastering my 75mm Viper.

                                        • Alpha, any chance you could show us a photo of an early F-4 prototype? One that you beat to death during its development? I know you work with these planes for a long time before you can send them into production. It would be interesting to see the stages you went through.
