        I'd like to see a V2 Su-47 Berkut from LX. Modern undercarriage, enlarged battery bay, better control hardware, simpler gear door covers, better wing connection, reduced complexity. ARF PLUS (no power system) would be fine with me since I don't trust their electronics. The shape of the Su-47 is so unique, and the EPS foam can handle black in direct sun for longer than EPO. While LX's shape isn't perfect, it's close enough for me.

          Bring back the FW 90mm Eurofighter, one of my favorites.:Cool:

            I really like to see a v2 of the f-86. Adding quick connect wings. I hear it’s a pain to take the wings off. I really want this jet but I sadly drive an accord so easy wing on and off is a must.

              Outside of foam, I'd like to see the Aeronaut Vampire upgraded with provisions made for flaps and retracts. Next level up, Airworld Me-262 twin 90mm version with flaps added as standard. Also more modern composite construction to bring the weight down. I had one previously but sold it on before I could get started adding flaps. To be honest,the additional of scale flaps was more work than I wanted to take on at the time ;)

                LX F-117A updated with servoless retracts and better suspension

                  LX SR-71 with stronger gear, more robust power system, built-in thrust tubes, whale tail, scale lighting. LX B-2 with much better gear, power system and a more accessible and intuitive battery tray/area.

                    +1 on both of those. Also:

                    Nicesky 70mm XB-70 Valkyrie - Electric retracts with scale gear, EPO airframe, upgraded power system
                    RC Lander 90mm T-33 - EPO foam, better fit&finish, improved ducting, corrected nose gear location, scale-sized intakes, and washout added
                    RC Lander 70mm F9F Panther - Modern Power system/servos, EPO with improved finish, molded plastic gear doors, relaible retracts
                    FlyFly 90mm F-100 Super Sabre - EPO foam, better fit/finish, reinforced structure, modern power system, robust scale gear, led lighting, molded plastic gear doors, and a SEA camo paint scheme

                      Now if we can just clone Alpha and send him to LX we would be in business! LOL

                        I'd like to see a JHH A-7 Corsair II. As much as I have loved JHH in a past life, their A-7 Corsair II wasn't a PNP. Quite a bit of work still had to be invested in one of these kits. I would like to see a proper 90mm Super Scale PNP version. Oh yea and an F-8 to boot.

                          F100!!! I have two Fly Fly F100s in the box, waiting to be built. However, I just finished building one, and that turned out to be close to 10.Lbs including two 4S 5000mah batteries. The jet was adequate for level flight but to heavy to go for vertical maneuvers or bail out from a stalled landing. I would really like to see Freewing manufacture a properly tested F100, instead of the Fly Fly model that is mainly good for a Turbine set up.

                            Unless MRC started carrying LX it would be a VERY BAD IDEA for MRC since the only US store that I know of "shall not be named" but they're re-branded BlitzRCWorks

                              I think the better idea is for us and FW to launch a "Skunk Works" division so WE can do those stealth models properly! :Cool: :Cool:

                                Yes F-100, and the F-105 as well. Would love to see a nice 90mm of each one of those for sure.

                                  I'd like to see an EPO foam version of the Nitroplanes(CMP) Falcon 120, in that 60 to 65 inch span size.
                                  Can be sold as an ARF with options. Pusher prop, twin 80's , single 90 + mm EDF.
                                  Ship it in plain white (unpainted or white that can act as a base color) and let people create their own color schemes.
                                  FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

                                  current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

                                    LX are not a great supplier and their offerings are dated and far below our current offerings in terms of quality and finish, so I can say for myself at least that its a brand I'd like not ever to see offered by MRC ;)

                                        Just saw something about a plane that would make a wonderful scale subject...

                                        BD-10

                                        Home built jet. only 5 made. they got the structure wrong for the power... It was advertised as mach 1+ capable. Tended to shed parts if the owner tried it. similarly it was advertised as high G capable, but, No.




                                        Needed a better airframe structures engineer.
                                        as low as 90 mph takeoff (with 0 to 100 in 6 seconds)... and safely exceeding 500 mph is pretty good.
