    What's Next for Flightline 1600mm Warbird Series?

    I'm just so impressed with the 1600mm Corsair and Spitfire. I'm getting addicted! Andy idea what might be next in the 1600mm series from Flightline? I'd love to see a P-47 Razorback, or maybe a Mitsubishi A6M Zero. What's on your wish list?

    The Tigercat and Bronco are both as good. I think the Tigercat is the best of the lot. For war birds I'd like a 1.6 P-51D done as only Flightline can do it. A Mig-3 would be second choice. If a non military I really want a Pond Racer.

      I'm honestly a bit surprised that they haven't done a bubbletop P-47. Would definitely be a great addition to the lineup. I'd also add the Mosquito, Sea Fury, A-26, Grumman Goose, PBY Catalina (would need to be larger than 1.6M) and Avenger to the list.

        A big Zero would be great. A 1600 Bearcat would be super fun. A big Dora. I know FL had an SBD but a newer 1600 would be cool. A Bf109. A FL P51 in 1600

        You're stating a 1600 series, but I think it would be cool to have a 2m TA 152.

        I would really like an E2D Hawkeye, I won't stop begging and pleading. 1600 or 2m. I would get two!

          Good choices, everyone. I would definitely be in for a 1500 or 1600mm bubbletop P-47, a F6F Hellcat, and/or a Mosquito. The possibilities are endless, even if the money isn't!

            I was wondering if FreeWing has ever thought about doing a ww1 plane? There seems to be a lack of these being made by anyone. I know if Freewing made one that others would follow suit.
            A camel,SE-5,Albatros, Fokker. just a few off the top of my head. Sometimes its good to just relax and watch a slow biplane in the sunset.

                  James from motian said that a zero in foam would not sell( that had been my and my corsairs choice 4 a while) oh well. So need to change I have a 1500. E flight( fms p51) awsome.. but believe a 1600 fline p51 or p47,, would b an awsome upgrade has not been single prop warbird 4 long time ( one that matters)

                        Love the 1600mm series. I have all of the ones that are out to date. Motion Rc. We all would love when you get time, to bring some 1600mm fighters to join the corsair and spitfire. 1st mustang, 2nd zero, 3rd bf109, 4th p47. This would be awsome. Just glad the mitch came out as 1600mm. Its the perfect size. Thank yall, doing a great Job!!!!

                          The FMS Zero was one of the best foamie warbirds I've ever flown. Would love to see a FlightLine version. And ditto on a P-51 (B/C/D variants would be amazing), BF-109 and P-47 RAZORBACK. Yes please and twice on Sundays.

                            So you have the P-38 and Tigercat too? OV-10 Bronco? Even though not 1600 it's in the same class... Yes all are awesome. I agree with your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 100%!

                                Champion idea, f4u aussie! But you know me, I'm a sucker for a good bubbletop P-47! I sure hope they might venture that direction someday. I had three 1/5 scale bubbletop gassers that I flew in competitions in team class. It was a lot of fun (and pain, sometimes) but what a great looking and flying aircraft! We got two votes for sure, yours and mine, towards producing a nice bubbletop someday.

                                Cheers mate,

                                  Nice looking Bubbletops, but I want a nice big Flightline Razorback or P-51B.

                                      I'd love to see a 1600mm P-51B with a Malcolm hood, myself. FMS makes a great P-47D razorback, slightly smaller than you'd prefer at 1500mm, but it can be really decked out to be a great looking airplane of almost any paint scheme. It flies great, too, especially with the V3 Corsair prop on it.

                                        f4u aussie: taking your advice, I visited Greg's You Tube videos on the P-47. I used to live in Colorado and have seen this airplane up close in the museum in Colorado Springs south of Denver, and seen it fly in airshows before. Greg is very well versed on details of the P-47 and I enjoyed his walk around tour of it. I'll check his other videos as well as I get the time to do so. Thanks for the tip!

                                        Cheers
