We saw a positive response to the How It's Made article we produced earlier this year for Model Aviation magazine and also linked on our website's Knowledge Blog. In that same spirit of giving our customer family a continued look behind the scenes, here's a fun video exhibiting some of the flight limit testing we conduct on all our birds, whether it be a parkflyer warbird all the way up to a big scale airliner.

I get such a kick out of guys who love these RC models and it turns out they fly the real thing! It always reminds me of the time I was just finishing up flying, putting my models back in my car when this older gentleman pulls up and starts ooohing and aaaahing over these little foam models of mine. After a minute or two I asked if he had any flying experience and he said "I was a captain flying the 747 for over 30 years." Just dumbstruck. Love this hobby!My YouTube RC videos:

I can't disclose all the details for competitive reasons, but suffice to say we are very grateful for our customer family's very strong support of our first airliner. We've got lots coming in the first batches, not many left, and about a break even between base white and decaled versions. We worked on this bird for quite some time in various stages. As I'm apt to say, "Something for everyone", and we're proud of continuing that path to engage a wider base of hobbyists. Off the top of my head, in just the past 12 months, we've released:
A 1.6m super scale warbird
A scale helicopter 450 PNP series
A 90mm 5th gen fighter
Announced our Balsa expansion and added gas engines
A 70mm F-35
A Repaint for our popular L-39
An 80mm/90mm legacy Hornet
Two pocket warbirds including a never before released D.9 Dora
Launched our Admiral series of electric motors and expanded into accessories and adhesives
Launched our Xwave series of retracts and electronics
Launched our Skynetic brand with a trainer glider and the Havok Racer
A twin 70mm Airliner
And the year's not even over yet!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

---- Which indicated a 9:1 in favor of the base white. So ......................... what do you think happened? People voted with their hearts but when it came time to buy, their brains took over or visa versa? Kinda makes one consider that such a poll was not much value.

There's always a mismatch between polls and preorders, the question isn't if but by how much. We make adjustments based on history, and altogether we're encouraged at the rates for both versions of the AL37. No complaints here!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Hello All,
Good dialogue here. I pre-ordered the plane a few weeks ago. I haven’t purchased a new plane in a at least 3 years. I’ve seen a few models that I’ve liked but passed on the opportunity. But without hesitation I added this to my cart and paid quickly. Awesome looking plane.
I’ve flown the 737-400/700/800/900 for Alaska Airlines, and now for American Airlines. I was able to fly the Max a dozen times or so. I just received the American Airlines sticker set, which looks like it’ll be awesome on this plane. Batteries are ready to go. Looking forward to getting this model in the air...!!!

Mwhite1911 Welcome to Hobby Squawk, Mwhite1911! Wow, another airline pilot. I take back what I said earlier about only have two airline pilots in our customer family. It seems now there's at least five, and probably more lurking out there but not posting. I look forward to seeing your final livery applied and hearing your feedback after a few flights on this model next month.

Just placed my order for 2. YAY! The windriders were fun, but I'm sure the Freewing version will be everything us windrider guys had always wanted! I hope to be able to use some parts from my windriders to make a "proper" Next Generation 37 without too much modding (tail, winglets, maybe engine nacelles).
