    Know what would turn 2020 around? A Flightline B-17.

    Who's with me!?!

    The discontinued Freewing version was not up to Flightline's current standards and capabilities. HK's B-17 just didn't look scale enough. I need Flightline to come along and do it right!!

    Agreed - especially if its size/scale matches the 2000mm B-24 Liberator!

      YES! Bonus points if I don't have to buy new batteries just for the model. 3S or 4S 2200s, 4S 3600s, or 6S 3300-5000s would be ideal.

        Same scale as the B-24 would give the B-17 a span of 1890 mm. Not bad. Little smaller than my venerable Starmax 2000mm B-17.

        Every foamy B-17 done so far has had scale issues, large issues and small issues. Would be nice to have a well done B-17

          My thoughts precisely!! I want one by Flightline, so I won't have to make any compromises.

            Well, unless a new B-17 was started in early 2019 or late 2018. It will not be here in time to turn around 2020.......

              Also true :) MotionRC has a tendency to surprise us by releasing new planes with very little advanced notice. I'd love for one of these times this year to be a FlightLine B-17

                    Skip the baby fortress, and go right to a 2500mm B29! My favorite part of this Mig29 (besides the 29) is that it is huuuuuuuge, which gives me hope that they would be willing to make a huge B-29 too.
