Anyone else have the little hairs on the back of their necks stand up when they hear that "old fashioned roller skate" noise from the wheels when they roll on the ground? That's going to be the first thing I need to address when I get mine.

Gorgeous footage JL! What a (jet)blast!

Originally posted by Alpha View PostWe don't have many real airliner pilots in the Hobby Squawk community to evaluate our AL37 airliner, between Justin Lamb and Victor "AceMiGKiller" Checkcinco. We had hoped to have both of them debut this airliner at an earlier event together, but things didn't line up. We've got more for Vic and Co in the pipeline, though... . In the meantime, thank you to the Jeremy and Justin's Utah Crew for wringing out this airliner and giving it your shakedown approval. I hope it's as satisfying as flying the real thing. Perhaps try to sneak it onto the flight line in your flight crew carry-on for a photo op? No one would notice, right?
Also, I heard you're passing the radio to various people at your club, including an eight year old?! Let me know how that goes!
Now, where are my former A-7 pilots?
This year I got into RC flying and this AL37 Airliner will be my first EDF plane in the hangar.
I fly the real 737 now for Transavia in the Netherlands and I actually flew on the real 737 MAX for TUI last year. Hopefully Transavia will get their MAXs by 2020/2021ish.
I orderd the Transavia graphics from Callie and I'll make sure to bring it along to our hangar and make pictures of it infront of our own 737-800s.
Im super stoked for this thing and I am counting the days 😁😁😁

There is lots of room at the CG to accommodate a sound system!

Thanks! Transavia has quit a simple livery. I have attached a picture of our aircraft. The fact it has belly logo's does help with its visibility. I have asked Callie to include a PH-MAX registration. It should look amazing.

Where's your home field at? Would love to come check out that AL37 once it's all finished.
I currently live in Utrecht and there is a small flying field 10 mins drive from my home. You are most welcome to come and check it out! send me a PM if you like.
Elbee Thanks sir, good to be here!

I'd be up for that! Though, I'm not sure a triple translates well to scale.
Currently I'm really in love with how the A350 looks. The proportions are just right (in comparison with the 787). Bombardier C Series/Airbus A220 would be rad too (but perhaps too similar to the AL37, maybe a CRJ-700 then?).
MD11 or 747 would be sick as well. Or a tribute to the old trusty Dutch Fokker 100.

Thanks Jerry!
I think a T7 would look great. Also an A350 would be killer. Those swooped wings/winglets would be amazing.
Back on topic with the AL37. I am actually considering making slats for it. I attached slats to my Durafly Tundra too. It looks great and with a small breeze I can fly it backwards.
I am gonna try and make them move together with the flaps.
