    I'd be interested in seeing MRC carry this one since the FMS version has been discontinued.

      RE: Dynam F6F Hellcat

      I hate to disappoint anybody but I don't think we will carry the F6F. It was a very poor seller for FMS in all 3 sizes FMS offered. FMS discontinued the 1100mm size and the 1400mm size due to slow sales. I know some people like the plane but overall the demand for an F6F is tiny. For these reasons we will likely never carry the Dynam F6F.

        Thanks for the update and explanation Tom. If the F6F was a slow seller, I can understand your position. For some reason, although I like the F6F and know it was a superior plane to the F4F, I have always liked the latter best. That is why I had asked in another post if anyone had experience with the LX F4F. I saw a response from you guys that you were likely to carry the LX lineup, but not sure if that would include the Wildcat.

          Frankly, I like both the F4F and F6F and was shocked how slow the F6F (in all sizes) sold. Perhaps people are not fans of the big non aerodynamic nose (P-47 style).

          I recall Horizon had a Parkzone hand launch F6F or F4F (can't remember which) 2 or 3 years back and they quickly blew it out and a low price and discontinued it. Maybe someone just needs to make a really nice scale version.

            What about putting in a request for a special order, prepay type thing.  I would be willing to pay up front to special order the F6F  Hell cat. NP has them in stock but I dont trust em. Theres no customer service to speak of if something goes sideways. Been there done that. I like the looks of the Dynam version over the FMS version better. Food for thought Tom!

              Yes, Parkzone did have an F4F and I have one of those and love it! Really flies nice, and looks great in the air. I was hoping for a slightly larger one that will handle a bit more wind than my current F4F. I wish I had seen when PZ discounted the Wildcat, I would have bought another just for a spare!

              As for the big radial engines, I am definitely a fan of those planes. the Dauntless you guys carry is definitely on my want list, and I have several Corsairs, Zeros, and others. I like them because the design allows for more cooling through the fuselage for all the electronics.

              Thanks again for the support!

                I'm in for dynam f6f. I'll even go in on special order. Also don't trust np enough to get one there.
