    I would think that MRC is always reviewing the product line to keep things fresh and current. I got my monies on the new model "Foil" that will be a big surprise. about the F100, I remember Fly Fly offered an F100 but was not high in the quality department, so if MRC decided one it should be a winner. Hoping for a 90mm one.

    And I'm hoping for it in 64 or 70 mm.

    But then again there are other Freewing EDFs that are in dire need of an update first like the 90mm F/A-18E.
    Freewing would be more wise investing in a completely new EDF that no company currently offers like the F-100 Super Saber."

    Alpha said in a post that it would be 2018. But we all know cookies are done when the cookies are done. So relaxing and waiting...

    Are we getting any closer to figuring out what this plane is? Is it supposed to be released anytime soon? 34 pages of guessing seems like a lot. Are we there yet?

    Or twin 80mm for that matter. ;)

    1. Foil = EDF
    2. Hoot = Fast but Foil = Faster
    3. History:
      1. Military Campaigns, Projects,
      2. Alphas prior hints / clues, pattern, pilots
    4. Cloud Atlas:
      1. A story: consists of six nested stories, whereof each is read (or observed) by a main character of the next. The first five stories are each interrupted at a pivotal moment. After the sixth story, the other five stories are closed, in reverse chronological order, and each ends with the main character reading or observing the chronologically previous work in the chain. Each story contains a document, movie, or tradition that appears in a previous story. "Reincarnation"
    5. Ozymandias:
      1. A poem that describes a broken statue of a legendary king of ancient times, lying forgotten in the desert, with these words carved on its base: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
      2. An ancient Greek name for Ramses II of Egypt
      3. The poem Ozymandias is ironic as it mocks the "King of Kings". What was once great is now in shambles. (Man's Hubris?)
    6. Foil:
      1. To prevent (something considered wrong or undesirable) from succeeding. (Na..)
      2. The track or scent of a hunted animal. (Maybe - Radar tracking?)
      3. A light fencing sword without cutting edges but with a button on its point. ( a Saber? Na to obvious.)
      4. In fiction, a character who contrasts with another character to highlight particular qualities of the other character. In some cases, a subplot can be used as a foil to the main plot. (na)
      5. Math's - foil method? (Na)
    7. Ruled out:
      1. Alpha Post #552 - Not an An SR-71 Black bird (Black Paint on foam) an not a Foxbat. (drat).
    So, it is Historic, Fast, spawned many generations, great plane but now lies in the desert and was used to stop other planes. (an Interceptor?)


    What other breadcrumbs were dropped to tease us....
    That would describe the F-100. An interceptor, first of the "Century Series" and probably a couple at Davis-Mohan, BUT it's been done in foam before by FlyFly, But it also describes the F-102, which was the basis of the F-106 and F2Y Sea Dart, AND as far as I know, HAS NOT been mass produced in foam. The closest was the Great Planes Phazer.

    The fantastic thing is that there are airplanes manufactured in specific sizes in foam from various manufacturers that were either done so many years ago that they are dated in their design and technology (and therefore were advanced model aircraft for their time), or were done poorly to begin with. That leaves a whole lot of airplanes to model now, foam or not, and regardless of whether it’s been attempted in the past. :Cool::)

    Freewing and Motion, continue impressing me......and separating me from my money LOL. You sneaky sneaky little devils......and angels. :Devil::Sacred:


    P.S. I’m must mention, these emoticons are fantastic.

    What did you think the rclander T-33 was made out of?
