A good quality .60-.90 sized P38 would be great. Also, how about a similar sized Spruce Goose????? That would be awesome. Say, 8 .10 sized motors????

How about the Piaggio P.23r... I've never seen this plane in any form...
Heres the link.

Hi, Thomas. You "scaled up" the Hots 60? Do you mean engine size or physical size of the plane?

A scale version of the never kitted AD-5 Skyraider, the true work horse and meanest looking of the vasy variety of the great flying Skyraider. For the builder, the AD-5 offers many interesting paint options and personal add-on's that would make this an excellent building choice. See attached.

I would love to see a cessna twin with retracts. I think Bud Nosen use to kit one years ago. I love the lines of this planes and something around a 72" or more would be great !!! I haven't been able to find any kit versions of this plane.

I built a Skyraider many years ago, I believe it was a GLOBAL KIT, maybe some still has one nib. you never know. I did post earlier I would love to see a cessna twin in the 72" ws range or larger. Bud Nosen use to kit this and I have found none around, there are a few other Nosen kits though. I think the Cessna has such clean flowing lines, one of my favorite planes in civilian.

I voted for sport. I want to see a speed kit that resemble and performs like the Weston Magnum. The ARF is only available in Europe but I got to see one fly at my club a little over a year ago and it made an impression to say the least.
The plane should have a thin airfoil and be designed with minimal drag. Landing gear: NONE! or optional as all it is is weight and drag.

A .60 size Piper Tomahawk And a Sukhoi su-31 in a 91 size not a 60 with a thick fun fli airfoil, both planes with fiberglass cowlings or epoxyglass cowlings, none of that flimsey abs crap, even if the midwest Aerosport would come back it would be nice..Someone PLEASE take my order..That'll be the day HUH, dream on, our hobby is contaminated with substandard ARF's and electrics.....

Oh yea and a Gee Bee R3 60-120 size. This would be a fantatic aircraft for the new slew of 26-30 cc gas engines!! Especially with a composite fuslage! But a built up fusalage would be ok too.

How about a Piper Vagabond, Piper Clipper, Taylorcraft BC-12D, Cessna 140A, Great Lakes 2T-1A, Hatz Biplane, Wittman Tailwind, Culver Cadet, or 1935 Waco Custom Cabin i.e. CUC, YOC in 1/4 scale? Even .60-.90 size.

Scale or sport, doesn't matter to me I like both, but the entire hots line is absolutely awesome, easy and fun to build, best flying aircraft I've owned

AD-1 Skyraider for sure, retracts for sure, weapons pylons, and ordinance to go with it, as an option
H-1 racer would be cool too since there isn't isn't anyone modeling it except scratch builders

LOL that's hillarious!
After reading some suggestions, I may want to suggest that you check online to see if the kit doesn't already exist before you post. I have seen some of these kits already produced by people.
If you have some sort of a picture you can copy and paste to show what your airplane looks like, that would be awesome because I can't find some of these airplane pictures that I saw posted.
My intension is to see what kit people desire the most and create it and sell it online on my website.
Although it is easier to build, it costs much more to produce a composite kit than Balsa, and I think that's why many manufacturers don't like to do them. I am thinking these kits would be balsa with possibly composite cowls and wheel pants.
I have updated the poll a little just try and narrow things down.

The ORIGINAL Goldberg Falcon 56 with balsa fuse, not the ply fuse being used in the latest version.
