      My A-10 is huge....and pretty fast as well.
      Twin 80mm = 160mm
      Perhaps the long R&D cycle was due to all new
      Components like a 105mm Fan etc.

            There are a few people in the know about new releases that want to make sure everyone knows that they know what it is. "You guys are gonna love it!" What else are they gonna say about a new plane that they have inside info on?? Lol!

                Anticipation is high on the old Project Foil thread. Tony (Xplaneguy) said we are going to love it! I trust Tony's judgement.

                  I ordered the A4 weeks ago thinking my luck would have it FOIL would soon be released. Then I bought the 70mm F16. The wait has been killing me, yet my hanger seems to be almost full up.

                      Yes, it's a sign of wishful thinking. IF they did a Bone, it would be the second post WWII bomber in mass-production. And hopefully with either twin 50 or 64mm fans and white livery.

                          I saw the Yellow back in stock and had the same reaction! Wait for it...wait for it....
                          I have put planes and accessories in my cart and Motion smacked my hand with a ruler when I left them there too long, and they one time sold out my F-16 parts before I hit complete order!LOL:Confused:
                          I wish I could cattle prod the Foil out of them!:):ov10

                            Problem solved. Motion has started their November Sale of some existing models. Be careful or the mark downs will "foil" your plans. LOL

                                  Am I the only one reading hint number 4 like he is saying, he didn’t say it was never done before. As in the plane has been done before.

                                    I don't ever recall anyone from MRC saying Foil is something that's never been done in foam before. The only time I recall comments like that were when they were saying in general that they'd like to bring out kits never before done in foam, but not specific to Foil.

                                      I have seen one too many people on here get too impatient and end up having to sell some off their newest airplanes at a loss to get the money together to buy the latest release that they absolutely have to have more then the airplane they last bought.
                                      Or worse yet they bought an inferior model just because that was the only one available on the market only to see Freewing release an even better model shortly after. I saw this happen when someone just had to have an A-4 and bought the LX models version and invested a lot of money in FW components only to discover not too long after that the FW A-4 was released. In this hobby penitence is not only a virtue it is a sound financial decision. :)$:Angry:$:Crying2:
