Project Foil Guesses?

[Valkpilot]

Don't go warming up you cards yet. Announcement does not all ways mean sale. Three weeks have gone by, and the new RotorScale helicopters are still sitting on the "Coming Soon" page.

[Hardway]

There is not even going to be a pre order button.... I believe it is already here. Better be ready with the Buy it Now button!!!!! (Just guessing on the same data used to pick the 8th, so I hope I'm right!!!!) If not, that is OK too!!!! :Smug:

OK, wrong guess!! Pre order tomorrow (6th), so earlier is better... I figured it would be released when the last batch of Freewing B-17's were supposed to be available... 8th-9th, so....

[Hardway]

I know this is an EDF, but as soon as the dust settles, we all need to get together and buy Charlie the new OV-10 for Christmas with a few batteries from Santa too!!! ov10:ov10

[Hardway]

Hey, we can wish, right????? :Cool: A DO-335 would be OK too....

[crxmanpat]

Can't wait! Since I'm in Mountain Time, that's 6pm for me! :)

Hey V I just noticed Callie offering a decal set for the T-33...Hmmmm

Maybe for the HSD T33?

If it fly's or build's like the new L-39, then its already a winner!

Builds like the L-39? Yes, it does. Flies like the L-39? Yes, in certain respects. I'm glad you like your Alabtros, by the way!



As this thread comes to a close and another inevitably begins, I hope we'll all look back one day and appreciate that we here at Motion RC weren't defined by any one plane, or that we were feverishly [foolishly] trying to create the Definitive-Plane-To-End-All-Planes that would render all other future projects meaningless. Rather, over these years and continuing forward we're laying out a thesis, a menu, with different flavors but common themes. Each project has something Primary to offer someone. Is that someone you this time around? Maybe so, maybe not, maybe next time. There's always Five Eyes.

If Foil or any of the other upcoming projects flew exactly the same as Hoot or any of our other past projects, there wouldn't be much fun in trying the new stuff. In the same way that we've released big twins, super scale slowpokes, slippery speed demons, scary-yet-gentle deltas, TVs, sport flyers, lightweight wallet-friendlies and in every primary color and camo, Foil will continue our thesis --that it, as with any model, has its rightful place among our pantheon of products when done right. Big, small, fast, slow, EDF, prop, simple, complex, inexpensive, or not, and most anything in between. I have no doubt that Foil will serve its intended audience very well, without, importantly, directly competing with its other 90mm brethren. In this way, it makes sense to "try 'em all", since they each offer a different experience and potentially teach a new subset of skills, which I hope helps us all improve as pilots and keeps us engaged in learning new things. Taking a step back, I'd say there's a nice harmony in the lineup we've been building over the past few years. I'm not just going to repaint something and change the shape a little and call it the silver bullet. We all know our tastes are far too varied to be universally pleased by any single model airplane. But for someone looking to do what Foil can do... buckle up, because it's time to hide another box from the wife.

And with that, before my 3:00am recharge cycle begins, here's a final salvo for my puzzle sleuthing friends:


Downward, downward
Leapt lying the Maelstrom
And afoul finds feast in boon
Sudden sudden
Blight affliction
Costly measures lives consume

Tyrant, tyrant
Clawed constriction
Parried for a Sky priced high
Open field no course correction
Folly foiled
Its brood rung dry

Gilded rapture
She laid the killers
'Lorn and lost they craned to crave
Senior Mistress
Widowed bruiser
Super skylight
To the nave.

Redoubtable vicar
Age and peerless
Passive threat
Though active, All
Onward to the cautious Victor
Righteous in her solemn Call!



Low Pass,
Papa Dragon

"I have no doubt that Foil will serve its intended audience very well, without, importantly, directly competing with its other 90mm brethren."

So it is indeed a 90mm!!! :Drooling:

Of course!!!! Duh! How could I have missed it all this time?!? It's so obvious. It's a..... well... actually I am even more confused now than I was before. :Dizzy:

Here's a picture I was able to find of it...

[Topdogzrc]

I can't wait! I know most likely I'm pretty far off guessing from what it was, but I don't care since it'll be awesome to see what it is. And it was a fun guessing game, so to see how close I was will be amusing. I hope alpha keeps up these guessing games in the future :)

You are sooooo right. Me tooLOLLOL:Confused:

Super Scale 90mm F-105F Wild Weasel. Final answer.

[Pilot.Vrf201]

Only 4.5 hours to go! :Cool:

This has been a fun day so far guys. I have been itching to try the new YouTube Premier feature and Project FOIL just made the most sense with all the hype around it. I will be excited to chat with you all live while we watch the unveiling together. And just to add a little info for our HobbySquawk friends. Pre-Order for this aircraft will start tomorrow morning with the email. 12 hours after the video airs / 24 hours after the tease started. Just like all our other Project debuts the past year, just in a different wrapping with this new YouTube feature.

[Twowingtj]

The poem does imply a female dragon on the hunt. There was a varient of the U-2 known as "The Dragon Lady". Also, it could be the Chinese J-20 Mighty Dragon. Or maybe the Swedish Draken fighter. All would be pretty cool subjects.

[Topdogzrc]

I was thinking that too, and of course another line in the poem made reference to a landing in a field, so maybe F-106 too?
A 90mm U-2 would be sweet though, imagine flying one FPV

This has been a fun day so far guys.

Fun for you maybe.....LOL

[lmramos44]

I have been talking so much about "Project Foil" that even friends and family that have no interest in the hobby are texting me wondering what project foil is....LOL
