  • Hahaha me too..I got several in my clubs into edf jets..one of my mates has preordered the L39 and now everyone is waiting for Foil. I am the FW Ambassador at my Club.
    Actually a word in the poem had a nordic touch to it. I would bet it is a Draaken 90mm! Great!

      I am based in Granada, south of Spain :). Agree..whatever it is and even if it were to my liking it will be awesomely well thought out and greatflying :).

  • 90mm Typhoon then? Cool. A Maelstorm that flies similar but different to the L39. :]

      The Typhoon would be amazing, but i am so jacked now that if they offered a turd with a 90mm edf bolted to it i would "add to cart"....

        That is sweet. Freewing knows how to do deltas, my Mig 21 is wonderfull.

    • I remember Alpha saying in another thread that he wanted to test the Delta market.

        • Just as a guess, I am willing to state that it is going to be an T33. Just because I saw Callie Graphics add the Decals for it on their website.

              • Really question that it is a T-33 although that would be great but due to Alphas references.
                - Faster then Hoot (L-39 580 mph) T-33 speed is 600 mph?
                - Plane touted to the best plane ever and that no plane would surpass it? (Ozymandias / hubris)
                - A plane that was born from generations before it? (cloud atlas / reincarnation)

                In my mind the F-18 fits the bill but Alpha burst that one with :Not going to repaint and call it a silver bullet" statement.

                    Its about a fallen leader of the past, humility and how power once had fades.........something like that.

                    Imramos44: Thanks. got that reference from the Ozymandias poem although I took it more to be about mans hubris and that nothing is immortal. What I wonder is the name of poem in post #1490 that Alpha referenced.

                    I did some reading and perceived a post war Hitler message.

                • Those decals might be for the HSD one coming out.

                        • Wonder if FOIL is a JAS 39 Gripen (Griffin)? The griffin isn't a dragon, but is close being "a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle's talons as its front feet". With that range of artillery at it's disposal I would give it as wide a berth as I would a dragon!!

                          True the Griffin doesn't fit with Alpha's final comment ........Low Pass Papa Dragon.......but the JAS 39 would sure be fun !!!

                          Love the guessing game Alpha and the spirit in which it has been conducted by Motion and squawkers, I hope this continues.

                          • Hardway, I wrote that poem in my post from four hours ago, specifically about Foil and especially for Hobby Squawk puzzlemasters.

                            "Ozymandias" is a completely different poem, a real one from a real poet (Percy Shelley), that I referenced months ago.

                              Yes, Eyes blurry from Bling, Google and explorer.... I guess Alpha is having some fun with us.... so if you are reading this Alpha, whats the name.
