Project Foil Guesses?

[Hardway]

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

[Woodcock]

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.

Hahhaa like your optimism xD

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.

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.

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.

[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 :)

Understand and I approve! I’ll just say I believe Simon was quite genuinely surprised at the actual interest level of a Piper RC model.

The little Archer is a great plane!!! Is it still in production??

[tclaridge]

I saw the Freewing F-15 super scale in my LHS yesterday. It is awesome. I can't wait for FOIL!

Hey you live in Ventura! I used to! Where do you fly? (I would be happy with an upgraded F-86 and a Mig-15)

As far as I know the foam model and full size both are in production. In fact, orders are filled to extend production at Vero Beach through summer 2022.

Project Foil is an A3 Skywarrior......

Doubtful, as we were told FOIL is faster than HOOT (the new L-39 which does about 100). Although an A-3 or B-66 would be cool.

Simply constructive conjecture on my part, my good man....Just wasting a guess on an old bird that wouldn't make it into the lineup, because she ain't so supersonic like the F-100 or F-101 VooDoo....I think we've all had enough of guessing...Hopefully when "she" shows herself, we won't be disappointed....

[F22trainer]

I’m still hoping to see a trainer / Warbird from Cessna

A Lear Jet could be faster than Hoot. An F-100 could be maybe faster, but I'm not sure that L-39 is a pretty clean air frame. It could be real life faster, which would mean something super sonic in real life. So if we're hanging our hat on something super sonic, and has never been done in foam before, it will be a popular plane, IE F-100 Super Saber. It will not be something weird or obscure. There are a whole host of Migs that fit the bill. But not to many US based air frames other than the F-100, Sounds like we may have a Russian Jet coming. I think most of the main line US jets have been all ready done in foam in some sort of way. If it is Russian, I hope it's a Mig 25.

Put your thinking caps on! What popular Euro Fighter, that is super sonic, popular, and never been done before. Has a Mig 25 been done before?
