Interesting!
I did research too.I think that the the biggest commercially available is from Fly Eagle ,which is a 1-7...
Most of them are 1-7.5 ,1-7.75 Like Century jet,Jet legend,Skymaster,Airtech,Jetwelt
Plans for an all wood version in that size exist from Rene Lempereur in France.
Fei bao's are slightly smaller.After that it's all 1-8,1-9 ,1-10(JMP,BVM,Xtreme,JHH,Yellow)
Maybe I missed a few.... But anything bigger?Anyone else?
A 1-5 0r a 1-6 would be awesome!

I hope I'm not being a problem child here but I know with Fl Jets, this topic may have been overlooked. It's my hope that enough interest might be had to possibly suggest that Skymaster or another respected company might undertake the project.
A 1/5th scale, twin powered Phantom II.

I remember some large composite F-4 out of Germany. They had two or three sizes of the E version I seem to recall. Does anyone remember or know about this?
I think 1/6 scale would be great for the F-4 so the wings could be fully functional, slats, flaps, spoilers and speed brakes. Take it over the top and make the wings fold!
I just pulled the big SM F-4 out of the box and there is a scale problem with the nose that bugs me so much. I just need to ignore it and build the plane.
I would really appreciate a very scale F-4 if anyone is reading this...

Perhaps it was Krumpp Modellbau.
How about this. (But not full composite.)

I got so excited over your discussion that I ordered the F4 plans from Rene Lempereur in France. It’s an all wood construction and of the same size as the Skymaster kit, that is about 1:8 scale or 2.5 m long.

I spoke with Anton at Florida jets last week begging for a new, bigger F-4 and he mentioned that Skymaster intended to do one. However, no timeframe and if I recall correctly I think he said he wanted to do a 1/6 scale.
