Flightline Hellcat cat 1600mm

[MichaelJ]

How about another plane in the Grumman line up

OUHHHHHHHH, I'll second that vote for a 1/8 scale Hellcat.:)
My FMS 1400 has been a good bird but it will have an expiration date someday;)

[TiredIronGRB]

Sign me up for one, I'll also take a 1600mm Zero, Wildcat, Avenger, Catalina, etc.

[RRHandy]

I'm with you All on these. R.

[F106DeltaDart]

Nooo!! They can't do that! They've hurt my wallet too much already! I'm not sure I would be able to restrain myself :):)

[Beeg]

If they do another Grumman it should be an F3F or F4F.

[Shirty]

Wildcat please. :)

And a scale sized prop..

Doesn't that go without sayin ;).............oooopps, forgot that factor hasn't fully been accepted by the powers of foam ARF creation. :Straight-Face:

[Prowler901]

While we're at it... Can we please just have ALL the Pacific WW2 Naval aircraft in 1/8 scale? :Cool: That includes both sides of the conflict 'cuz I'll need some Zeros, Oscars, and Kates to chase. ;)

[F106DeltaDart]

How about just all the Pacific aircraft total.. I need a B-29 :).

[Prowler901]

Well.... Alright. :)

If you guys are fans of all these warbirds you have to check out War Thunder. You can fly them all in battle online. You can all team up in a squadron and be each others wing men. You can download War Thunder for PC for free.
Best thing is that it wont ding you wallet flying every warbird from early WWII - Koren era Jets.

Another good video of USA and German birds.

I'm with you on this...it isn't necessary to downsize the props on these electrics, so why do they do it? To save money on bigger motors and higher amperage ESCs?

That is definitely a factor, and it makes for some more difficult handing due to the torque and P-factor, and a bit less forward speed. Climb performance is improved though. Although, I really can't see any issue with it on the bigger models, especially on a platform as stable as a Hellcat.

I've seen the term "P factor" used quite a bit. What does it mean?

It is the differential thrust on the ascending blade vs. descending blade of the prop at high angles of attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-factor. It is especially noticeable at those higher AOAs on landing approaches.
