I would imagine they spread the load between the 64mm class and 80mm+ class. I can't imagine FW or MRC to think pumping out a ton of 64mm jets would necessarily be advantageous as you have plenty of idiots like me willing to throw down for bamf icons like the F4 in a super scale version (among others). I would imagine there is some strategy to the production and release of these models in an attempt to keep everyone happy. That being said, I'm doubting that there will be another big scale jet released before xmas, but who knows.

No announcement yet.
When will Freewing come out with a F-4 Phantom II?

For the low cost version either a twin 70mm or single 80mm would be desent
For the high end Super scale version I predict twin 80mm

Single's are always ideal unless 100% necessary to go with twins like the A10 or a Mig-29. Plus, the wing loading would be poor with twin fans and packs on a wing like the F4 IMHO.

They did have a decent FMS F-4 on MRC a while back. Why did they discontinue??

I had one of those and poured my time into modding it. Upgraded power systems, lights, camo, redone H-stab mounting, new servos, and it just never flew well for me. It never seemed to get in trim and was always hunting in pitch. I flew it maybe 15 times, and crashed 3 of those, requiring a near complete rebuild every time. Another friend had one, and the spar failed and the wings folded mid flight. The quality and engineering just wasn't there. Not nearly at least to the extent we've come to expect from these Freewing jets.. One of the members here did a conversion to a single 90 with a gyro, and that did seem to calm it down a bit though. A Freewing asuperscale would be a quantum leap better though, just look at the difference between the LX A-4 and the Freewing A-4. It's not even a contest!2 Photos

I'm sure it's in development. This thread alone has 15 pages of chirping, not to mention I'm sure all the behind-the-scenes requests. It'll happen, I'm certain. Just a matter of time. Part of me is hopeful that they'll roll it out before Christmas, but I'm not sure another big FW jet will come out until 1st quarter.
Maybe if we keep this thread hot, it'll expedite things

Sure, there's a bunch out there in single EDF small models and larger twin EDF models.
The alterations to make the Art Tech F-4 fly decently will have you completely replacing all servos, Different EDF, Better ESC, cutting foam, moving the battery.
When you get done you can have a nice little F-4. But you'd have been better off buying it as a bare foam model.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs
