There isn't a much more distinctive and impressive airliner out there than the Boeing 747. Over the years, there have been a couple of kits for this, but the Aerotetris model is the only one out there that I know of and is far from a finished product. Would love to see Freewing tackle this big Jumbo and do it justice with 4 12 blade 64-70mm fans. There are so many schemes out there for it, from Air Force One to the Shuttle Carrier. I know I would definitely love to fly up and release a Shuttle glider. Span would have to be pretty big, around the 2m range, but with how well known it is, I think the model would sell quite well. Who wouldn't love shooting those slow, graceful approaches with a big Jumbo, especially if it had fowler flaps? If nothing else, it would be something radically different from what is on the market right now, and would make quite an impression at the field. I've also been waiting a while so that I could use my 747th post to request a 747.. :)

I would love to own an EDF scale airliner like the 747 or the Dreamliner or 737-800 with Alaska Airlines livery...Really cool...I know one of the owners is especially fond of airliners too so maybe sometime down the road? Would be a great addition to our inventory!My YouTube RC videos:

Agree there is no airliner as stunning and gorgeous as the 747. I used to have a customer in San Francisco and would stay across the water from the airport. I would spend the evenings sitting outside with a drink watching all the 747's from international and freight flights come and go. While I am sure a proper RC 747 would be beyond my price range and ability to transport, it would be the one airliner that it would be hard to say no to. I always dreamed of flying on one, but it never happened. The closest was being in the NASA Space Shuttle hauler in Huston.

I really hope they come out with a 747-400 or even one of the earlier models, I would certainly buy it if it is a good flyer. Lots of fond memories with this airplane, the Queen of the Skies, flew them for decades of all types before I retired a few years ago. A sweet airplane in every sense, whether big or small!

For me the one I would love to see is an L-1011 Tri-Star. But that's just me. W

PS a (2) fan model wouldn't rule it out for me. I have the Airbus A380. It has 4 EDF's. I would make sure to use 11 or 12 bladed fans. Just me. LOL My A380, (which I actually haven't assembled yet, FYI) But I've seen others. Can you say Howling Betty X 4. They sound terrible to say the least.

I would be okay with two but four would definitely be preferred...The sound alone would be fantastic. But two is not a deal breaker for me.My YouTube RC videos:
