Thank you to everyone who has trusted us again with their hard earned cash to be a part of the first shipment of our Freewing 70mm AL37 Airliner. The response so far even in just a few short hours has been exceptional! I was personally present when the doors were sealed and the shipment departed the factory. For a project like this, it was especially gratifying to see them leave on their way to their new homes and hangars.
Gilatrout That's a good question. We've looked into wing bags in the past, but the MOQs are likely untenable, and, at least for good quality bags, the cost ends up being around 25%-35% the price of the airplane and we're unsure of the appeal. I'm happy to be proven wrong, though. It doesn't help either that there isn't much overlap in wing/fuse volume and overall dimension, so we couldn't offer, say, a generic Small, Medium, and Large bag set. If anyone has any good ideas, I'm listening!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

but how did you manage to get such a large aircraft cheaper than the smaller me262 😱.
