    I would love a B-58 as well! The gear would be very difficult to say the least though, as you said:

      Alot of cool "not done before" ideas here Freewing/FlightLineRC/MRC. Just sayin'.......
      I just did the number mining and a 1/10 scale gives you 3" dia wheels with a W/S of 68" and length of 115".
      Now I know you really want it now cause those numbers definitely put this jet into the Giant class. :Scared:;)

            Good point! You know, if MRC were to produce a big B-36, I'd pick that over the B-58. And those BIG wheels would make it a viable candidate for grass fields. Could you imaging the sound with 6 props and 4 EDFs!!!! You would need a truckload of batteries to fly it.

            Seriously, it could be done in a 2.2m format using smaller 4S based motors turning 10" 3-balde props. Have the motors run in pairs to each side using 3 ea. 4000mah 4S lipos. No EDFs, just dummy pods. Nobody's done that mass produced in foam before.

              I would definitely be interested in that as well. Actuated bomb bays would be sweet..
