The flight characteristics of a larger model is better, IMO. Also, as we past the age of sixty, larger models are much easier to see. So, I guess we are compensating for something, lol.

2017 will be the year to put Turbine Foamy Jets on the map 2016 was a good start but the new models are improving nicely.

Wife recently asked if I'd seen a plane that I wanted. Well, if the sticker shock is not too great, just might have to say, YES.

A nice big, lightly wingloaded F-4 and F-18C would be very nice!

I would like to see more realistic size jets that are easier to transport and store instead of all of these monster behemoths.

How about a F22 the same size as the Yellow one was for a single turbine. That is what I am waiting for. The molds exist also for the right price they might sell them as they are collecting dust now.

Yeah I am the same, 2.5m is the maximum I can transport. The large jets look amazing but just a bit too big, hopefully Skymaster will do some smaller jets along with their large jets. I'm pretty sure I saw on a thread or Facebook that skymaster will do F22 in future but not sure what size.

I would rather have 3 smaller 2000 to 2500 dollar jets than one 6000 to 7500 dollar jet. If something's happens I still will have 2.

Another Eurofighter from Pacific RC Jets. They will have a few different schemes, and looks like a K-160 will be in order.

The Rafale is available now. It is 114 inches long with a sizeable wingspan, so it is not a small model. Also, this is a 3d model, and I understand there are no plans for a scale version.

Skymaster/Xtreme Jets has quite a few smaller realistic type jet models that are economically priced.

Jet Legend has the F-22 that is the same size as the Yellow, and they also have a F-35. You can also find a few reasonably priced models from Fei Bao.

I emailed Jet Legend a year ago asking about the F-35 and they said they won't be producing a batch of them for 1-2 years. It was almost a "don't bother me answer". I think they've been busy with other planes

All very well for you in the US - but here in the UK we are rapidly running out of flying fields that can cope with the big stuff - so we need more small.

I guess I'm just tired of seeing the same jets built by every manufacturer.. Where are the F-105, F-84F, A-7, F-101s? If I see YET ANOTHER 'sport' jet based on the L-39 or Hawk I'm going to lose it.. LOL
