    This is the other scheme I'd be happy with.

    It certainly is :):). Man, a super scale 106 would be beyond awesome :Drooling:! Lots of possibilities for paint schemes, and an opening weapons bay would be the icing on the cake!

    You know, when Alpha first dropped the Project Foil name, I immediately thought F-100 like a lot of others. But the more I think on it, I get the feeling we're going to be getting a 90mm Super Scale F-106 Delta Dart with scale gear and doors, vulcan gun pod, functioning weapons bay doors, and functioning speed brake (and room enough for a drag chute mod!).




    And if I'm correct, please please make one of the available schemes the Air Defense Weapons Center at Tyndall AFB.

    Looks interesting,Im in!

    I have the Mig 21 and the F86 both with the inrunners ,its a crap shoot weither they will get off the runway.

    So I have stayed away from the other 80mm so far.

    I have the F4 on 8s which does good...I doubt the 6s would be much better than the 80mm

    So please Alpha just make it big enough for good size landing gear and a power to weight ratio for grass.

    Im sure there are more grass fliers than those lucky enough to have an actual runway.

    I bought the 70mm FW F16 wouldnt get off at all.

    Im suprised the 80mm have trouble. :Thinking:

    Duly noted! More research for me. Good video post. Good day....

    Wow! Awesome Man! Just wailin' and yes, very good battery time for that spirited show. Might just get one of those! Although, with all the new releases and stuff coming up, I don't know what to get. Just can't fork out the dough for everything, but I need to dial in the specifics so I can get a good buy for the money. You have once mentioned that FMS EDFs are very efficient. Looks like it.....

    I know Rifleman won’t like this but again I’m hoping for a 90mm F-100 Super Sabre in camo

    I was a kid when the Red Knights were flying in shows with the Golden Hawks. My Dad saw them a couple of times. Unfortunately, there were a few crashes and the planes were taken out of service. I have read that they were purchased and The Red Knights are still used in Reno and they open for other shows too....wow...The good Old 20th Century Days!!!!!

    Your joking, lol. I mean, if you really have a heartfelt attachment to that project, then, it's alright. I does look like someone hired a Hollywood designer for that on though. Sort of a jet version of the GeeBee...I try not to hold anything against anyone for trying. Without that, we'd be sitting in caves wondering how to get television.....Ha!
