Project Foil Guesses?

[Alpha]

F22Trainer, not that I'm aware of, but admittedly I'm out of the loop on Media/Events these days so I cannot say definitively. That department has all the fun while I'm slaving away making new toys for all you bad girls and boys... oh wait, that's really fun, too.

I guess we're even :)

You know you're always a Winner in my book, Woody. Just not for Foil LOL

Not related Alpha, but did an eFlite Archer appear on your behalf at Oshkosh in the Piper Booth? Curious as I spent some time with Simon regarding such.

I'm convinced it's the F-22. It's the only jet I can think of that no one has been able to counter ("foil") and it's primarily composite, not aluminum.

My tastes are more simple. I'd like to see an 80mm F-84 Thunderjet, F9F Panther, or Mig 15. An F-86 Sabre upgrade would be welcome, too.

I wouldn't read to much into the, "Foil" name. Bond was the name for the F-4. I don't see any correlation between Bond and an F-4, LOL. I still stand by my two formal choices, A-7 Corsair, or EA6-B Prowler. I'm seriously leaning towards the EA6-B. I don't believe anyone has done one of these yet, in any material. The A-7 has been done before in foam. That kinda rules that one out. Well sort of.

I also think the F100 Super Saber could be it, but I'm not hanging my hat on that one.

So did I win Alpha?? You can just let me know I haven't not won for sure. LOL You can send me a PM, and I promise I won't say anything or you can ban me from the forum for life. However I will add a little food for thought. All MRC people avoid all possible discussions like the plague about a Lockheed Constellation. This up to now has been seriously avoided by anyone meaningful with MRC. Just imagine if they're actually making that plane? It would certainly live up to all the Hype.

I wouldn't be surprised if MRC releases a Brand Spanking New 1600mm Corsair. Just a feelin.

An F3D Skyknight would be an interesting bird to see. First jet nightfighter, and had a lot of success over Korea: https://www.airspacemag.com/military...rea-180951418/ Would love to see it in an 80mm, but with it being less well known, I could see it being done as a 64. Big straight wings would give it pretty nice flight charactistics. The black foam would be an issue though. Maybe could be done as a grey EF-10b though.

[Petronio]

Whatever "IT" may be, I am buying it.... Just bring the foam and the pre-order button!!! LOL

Hahhaa like your optimism xD

You know I love you MRC guys (as shown by my order history) ;)

I think Foil is the North American XF-108 Rapier which was their last design before being absorbed by Boeing. It only made it to mock-up stage and was to designed to foil the Ruskies long range bombers before they were within range of the
F-106.

Interesting plane.

How about this to take care of those pesky Amazon drones that want our airspace:

[crxmanpat]

Moonbat?

A Moonbat would be very cool, but since Foil is confirmed to be an EDF, I doubt it. ;)

[Woodcock]

It looks like the nose of a BAE Hawk, middle of an F-15, and back-end of an F/A-18.

I still like it, LOL. But true, all true.

Yea, F-22, & F-35, not to big a fan. I do like the looks of the new Boeing trainer though.

I won't be buying one of those.

Even though the F-22 is cool jet it is not on my list. But I am basing my guess on the fact the the F-22 can "Foil" radar detection. The other similar jets like the F-117 and B-2 are black so its a no go with gatoring in the sunlight. There is also the F-35 but I certainly don't care for one unless it was the F-35B with full VTOL capabilities.
