I don't get the point of the "secret" projects anyway. The other guys seem to come out with the same or similar thing right away. The only people kept in the dark are the customers.
And, for the conspiracy minded, why doesn't Alpha ever show up on camera? (not that it really matters...but interesting though)Meridian Aeromodelers, Meridian MS

Dear Seaviper, Alpha is not really one person. He is more a meeting of many minds. Perhaps all the employees of Motion get together and choose which one gets to make the next post? I don't think there is any conspiracy at all, right Muldur? Any way, I got a response from him(them) one time, about a post I put up, so I want to thank everybody at Motion for trying to make us all happy. I put $600.00 away in my savings account just in case Project Foil is really something I must have. But then, I always wanted a T-33 that was practical and affordable. Something that didn't look like a toy, nor made me mortgage the farm just to own it. Thank you to all the Alphas out there. Now it's Sunday, so have to go flying.

Time for some more conjecture. I got to thinking that Foil might be related to a squadron nickname. For example Project Puking Dogs would be related to US Navy Squadron VFA-143, which flew Corsairs, Panthers, Demons, Phantom IIs, F-14s, and F/A-18s. Here's my latest conjectures, with the caveat that the plane is a jet and does not all ready have a model:
USAF
162d Fighter Squadron (Sabers) flew F-84s and F-100s
USN
VFA-32(Fighting Swordsmen) flew F9F Cougars
Additionally, I heard that another project was "Hoot Owl" which would be USN squadron RVAH-9, who flew the A3D Skywarrior and RA-5 Vigilante.

This could be an 80mm and would be about the same size as the Scooter.
