It seems like every decade has it's period of ''very similar'' models. I just remarked that that was the case for the '80's (at least Hanno's models) in another thread, it seems to me true back in the 60's and definitely true today in F3A. I think what has sprung in the last 10-20 years is the vast growth of easily built (bought?) scale and semi-scale models. This has enriched our modeling options.
But I must be too young as it still looks like a Falcon to me... (I flew plenty of those in the '80's).

You could as well say you can't tell Chinese people apart because they all look the same. (Nothing against Chinese people, but for me it's really hard to tell them apart, I'm just learning...) Every period of time has it's ''type'' of models (as well as cars, ...), and maybe only if you grew up in that period you see all different models, but if they are vintage for you they all look the same. You must have quite a desistance to see all current F3A planes the same (or current cars). I do, but in my case that desistance comes just from age.
Mmm... not quite. At least not for me - I'm good with faces (not with names). But yes, every period does indeed have it's crop of similar designs. Case in point, when did Goldberg design the Falcon? Before or after doesn't really matter. One or the other was influenced by the design concepts of the time.
But to paraphrase Ray's wife (hopefully Ray won't mind), which is probably quite common among the "less RC enlightened", Hanno's Sensation is just a Super Sicroly Mark 12 (give or take)...
Not that I agree.
