    Re: FMS P38 Lightning

    Thank you very much for your kind compliments. At the moment, I believe a new P-38 is in the works but there is currently no time frame. I would estimate 6 to 8 months.

      Re: FMS P38 Lightning

      Tom, is there any chance of FMS coming out this year with a larger P-38 that aligns more with the 1700mm warbird class?

      A big P-38 would be very enticing...

        Or a small one. I would love to see a 800-1000mm P-38 with 4 channel minimum, and 5th channel for flaps if possible...

          Re: FMS P38 Lightning

          I suspect there is zero chance of a 1700mm P-38. It sounds like FMS is very concerned with the development costs of these larger planes. 800mm would be a much greater possibility.

              A revised version is in the works but not as close as the rumors I'm hearing from people.

                  Fantastic question. I've heard nothing (which may not be a good sign) so I will ask.

                    Hey Tom. I received a 2014 FMS catalogue the other day and it has the P-38 in it. I know its discontinued but do you have any in stock? Like the others I would love to have one but I guess waiting for the new one would be best...Love FMS and MRC.

                      Instead of continually asking for a release date, how about I just send you guys a credit card number and you send me one the minute they get stuffed in a box.......<smiley image="anim_crazy.gif"/>

                            On a side note, on RC Groups, Motion is saying a Standard Speed P-40 is in the pipeline. Your competition says FMS is only releasing a High Speed version. Can we get clarification on this? Will there eventually be a Standard Speed P-40B released?

                                    Hi Hippie 64, I checked the web site yesterday and they removed the P-38 from it. I hope that's a good sign.

                                      Don't give me a P-38; the props, they counter-rotate

                                      Oh, give me a P-38!
