Hey, as long as you're buying - I'll take a Showtime 4D and Saito 125 with some fast digital servos.. Thanks!

If I only had a club field, I would consider this. Alas, its gone so parkflyers for me for now...

A mini showtime would rock!!! Kind of similar to the mini funtana thing...and a mini Hangar 9 Ultimate...and possibly a modern wardbird like an F16 or F18 or F14 with retracts in the wing for swept wing or extended wing.

The Stinger and Laser would be good, but E-Flite makes most of their planes in the same field as Hanger 9. I'd like to see a Pitts Python colored up in Byp-Yak. [8D] I'd buy it.

I don't want anything from Eflite. I have had enough of the crappy quality of products coming out of China.

You're all right. It was pointless. Just the kinda mood I was in I guess. I've been kinda testy the last couple weeks, dealing with a broken vertebrae will do that to a guy ya know. I can't look up so I haven't been flying much and that makes me very grumpy.

Anyway, quite frankly in general E-Flite seems okay. My concern is that we are slowly but surely selling our counrty and a lot of our jobs to China. Just something to think about. There are lots of excellent planes made in the US at comparable costs. If we don't support our neighbors jobs who will!!!!

Sorry for wasting y'alls time. I'll shut up now.

It's all good. Nobody wants a Twist? I thought they are good planes. I was thinking maybe a Twist 10 or something.

WhtBronco: It takes a good man to make a reply like you did. I hope that broken vertebrae will heal up as soon as posible. Take Care & Gods speed, capt,n

I would like to see the make some 480 size warbirds so I could have a whole fleet of ww2 planes to patrol the parks. Stinger i'm way cool on your idea of that biplane.

I'd Like to see a dedicated electric .25 size Pulse. I have the Mini, and have looked at the Pulse 40XT as a conversion, however it would need at least a Power 46 and then mounting and accesibility of the batteries becomes an issue.

I would love to see a full fuse balsa Yak. The Sukhoi would be pretty darn close, though.

A mini Raven or a Giles would be nice (36" span). 3D capable would also be good.

I think they have a good thing going with this 480 size ,2100 battery, 43 inch span birds as of late.My Extra 260 is a joy to fly,quick and nimble,precice and slow stall flight is agile,solid and confident.And it looks and flies like a much bigger version.
They are affordable and are great practice everyday planes.
Bring on the mentioned birds

Sukhoi SU 26
Giles 202
Extra 300
Yak 54
Raven
Zlin 50
Cap 232
Laser/Stinger

Make them all as good or better than the Extra 260
