Excellent, thanks Mark. This sounds great. -
Go vote in the poll for which version you would prefer. All decals applied at the factory, or no decals applied but included in the box.

\"When Inverted Down Is Up And Up Is Expensive\"Comment

While not an airliner fan, it is a very impressive looking RC plane! Also nice to see something totally different and unique. I would probably lean towards painting it all grey like a P-8, however, there are some really nice looking airline schemes. Even doing a fantasy Pan-Am or TWA scheme would be kind of awesome. Lots of great opportunities for people to be creative with this one.Comment

The purpose of the poll is to see how many of each they should put in the first pre-order shipment. Right now it's running 85% plain against 15% with decals. That may be a good thing as there won't be that many that the factory needs to apply decals to, and they can get them on the water faster!PatComment

I'm looking forward to this jet, but I would like to see it take off from and land on grass. It taxied on grass well enough so I doubt taking off or landing will be an issue, but I'd still like to see it.

I think this is awesome news! I said I'd like an airliner from freewing and I'll stick to my word and order one when they're released. Top work alpha and all those involved at motion and freewing

What a great addition to the Freewing lineup with the first and only foam RC airliner of this size available! This will certainly sell well just because it so different and has so many customization options.
And for those not interested in civilian airplanes this could be turned into a P-8 Poseidon or KC-46 Pegasus. Which could be easily done with a 3D kit of the refueling boom and other bits.

EM, I like the way you think. I'd buy the AL-37 and do just that, but I gotta figure out a way to transfer electrons.Originally posted by Evoman View PostWhat a great addition to the Freewing lineup with the first and only foam RC airliner of this size available!

Well nowadays they do make small portable chargers that can charge off a larger battery like a 4S 16000. All of which could easily fit inside this new airliner.Originally posted by Elbee View Post

I am also very interested in this plane. I think the KC-46 Pegasus is based off of a 767 airframe, but I agree that it might be a great mod as the new Navy P-8 Poseidon. If not, I'll probably paint it up as a 737-900 ER from my old airline Delta. That should be fairly straight forward as most of the plane is white, anyway! Callie could easily make the graphics for it.Originally posted by Evoman View PostWhat a great addition to the Freewing lineup with the first and only foam RC airliner of this size available!

I'd like one of these two but I think the graphics will be quite expensive to do.

Aros, do we have an "about" price yet? I'd like to get one or two depending on price. I still need to get the upgraded F-86 and price would be a factor. Do I buy two planes or three....?

Hi Dutchman, unfortunately I don't have a price yet. I should be building out the product page(s) soon so hopefully we will have a price in the coming days/week....My YouTube RC videos:

Anybody seen the photos of the Aerial Firefighting 737 MAX? I think I remember seeing a picture about one. Based somewhere in California? I've seen all the others, just haven't been able to find that particular aircraft. That would be one different machine and I'm sure Callie could do graphics for it!!

There's a converted 737-300 that is used in Australia, but I seriously doubt that a Max has been used for fire bombing duties as they are so new. This one was purchased from Southwest Airlines. Coulson Aviation purchased 6 of the 737-300 from SWA to be used as fire bombers, but no Max.

Hi Aros, didn't mean to be rude, just had a thought and got sidetracked, sorry. But, thanks for the information! You put up an order page and I'll pre-order a couple of the plain Janes. I like having the option of getting Callie to do some more graphics for me! I was just at a Large Acreage Sprayer symposium and got a chance to view videos of some rather large sprayers in different countries. Impressive. Wonder how you could set up a 737MAX for ....oh, never mind. It would take an awful lot of yellow and blue paint anyway! Didn't the Chinese start building an airliner? Looked something similar to this model? I don't think they got a lot of orders for them.
