Next big jet from Freewing

[vduniec]

Thanks for sharing some of the design/business considerations. You should apply some of those philosophies after you make an F-106. 😉

The Dart is tricky due to its cross-section. Crunch the numbers for minimum diameter to accommodate an EDF (plus the necessary foam wall thickness), then extrapolate the corresponding fuselage length, and it ends up being a very long bird. Although the AL37 was able to fit in a small box considering its large size displacement, delta winged birds are less friendly to our usual methods of puzzle-piecing parts into small boxes. Every inch counts when some of these things cost us ~$50 to ship.

But, anything* is possible.

Interesting. The larger size would give some great separation from the Mirage in the product line though! Even if it means some added cost in shipping. Someday I’ll need to get back to my composite model. It is definitely quite the long, thin, aircraft.

I think it would look to similar to the Mirage they already have in their line up.

[electric jet]

Yes, would love a Thud! How about a back to back 80mm 105 and 106 release :).

YES,YES,YES......…...F106 Delta Dart...in the 5th FIS scheme. I would buy multiples in 90mm. would be a easy landing rocket. Hows that for my first post he,he

[Valkpilot]

It's the only one Alpha could talk the Chinese into making, the Chengdu J-20.

Looks like we will find out on Friday.

I like the idea of the T-7 A Red Hawk. But since the T-7 A Red Hawk is a trainer why not take advantage and make it the ideal jet trainer. And by that I mean to also make it at an accessible price point so that new EDF pilots can feel more comfortable training with a $200-$300 70mm - 80mm jet.
I really think the T-7 A Red Hawk would be more feasible and a better seller as a true 70mm or 80mm trainer than an up scale 90mm.

Thank you.
But it is the same with the 70mm F-35 / F-16 and the F-104. They are nice EDF jets but you need a very good runway because of small wheels. And the retracts are not very scale. The landing gear of the 90mm F-16 version is the key for everyday use on all surfaces.
Perhaps Freewing will produce both sizes. Than everyone will be satisfied.

Hello jetfans,

a F-100 or a Hawker Hunter will be good. These jets are very popular but I´ve another idea:

T-7 A "Red Hawk" with a 90mm EDF unit.

And one big advantage is the landing gear. Freewing can use the complete F-16 Falcon 90mm gear because the T-7 A Red Hawk has the same. No new developement is needed. And it works well and looks very good.
JMB Jets has brought this fantastic jet on the market a few month ago. It´s a turbine powered model with a lenght of 2.050mm and a wingspan of 1.340mm.
I´ve added some pictures.

Awesome !!!

F100 and/or Hawker Hunter

[cashmoneybrother]

Twin 90mm B2, drag rudders and all!!

[Laserdude]

I'm still waiting for my Cougar.

[F106DeltaDart]

80mm F-106

Yes!! Would be an excellent addition to the lineup.

[Scaleman3]

Have been reading the wants from both RCgroups and Hobbysquawk and the F-100 seems to be leading the pack.

[vduniec]

80mm F-106

[amgsky1]

Definitely would buy a F-101 Voodoo…..

[Enterprise206]

There are 2 unique cold war Jets id id love to see Freewing to put into production and it is the McDonald F-101 Voodoo and Mig-23 Flogger. Both part of Freewings super scale line. The 101 with a single 90 or twin 80mm fan and the 23 with semi scale retracts 90mm fan and both with all the bells and whistles. PLEASE MOTION RC DO ONE OF THESE JETS.

[gooniac33]

A 90mmm Rafale would be really cool!!

[Tanguy51]

Rafale....rafale.....rafale...please
