Giant Scale ARF's - WAR BIRDS
I would like to see a couple of Wildcats one in neutrality patrol the other in WWII colors. A Zero, Nate or Claude would also be nice. 90 2s to 150 4s 14 to 18 pounds with retracts when called for.
I just got a GP Shoestring and think the quality is very high use this as a bench mark. Most of us know you get what you pay for.
Please don't do models that are already out there (I don't know of a 80" Zero except for yellow aircraft).

Zeros are so boring! Of all the great WW2 fighters the Japanese produced, why does everyone think the Zero is the only one to model? Why not a Tojo or Oscar or Tony or a Jack? Better yet, come out with a twin Nick, camo it and it will sell like rice cakes in Tokyo.

Please make a 1.20 size Spit like the old Dynaflite. Why'd they quit making that??!!
If you kit producers are listening, hear this. We grass field flyers are tired of our retracts being torn out at the first imperfect landing!
Beef-up those retract mounts and get the wheels out forward of the leading edge.
Also-If you bother to make a nice scale arf, please install the retracts like the real thing. Example-Kyosho Spit's retract in the wrong direction. Whats up with that??

A lot of people want Zero and not the more special Japanese war planes because we are ignorant. We know Zero only from famous movies like Pearl Harbor. Since there are 120 size Mustangs and Corsairs ARF's are available in the market, it leaves Zero in this category to be desired.

Giant ARF
I would really love to have a P-51D, in Red, White and Blue that I could drop my 3W 150 into. Now that would be a giant warbird. I think it would be one of the greatest planes on the market, and would sell like coffee in the winter. ken....The "BALSA BANDIT"

Warbird ARF
How about somethig a little different. Since I am partial to the A-1 Skyraider and since the only recent one I have seen was by Global, I would add this to my wish list. I also like the idea of a ARC version. 60/120 size.

Like to see, in the 1/7th scale range arf/arc a B17, a B24 , and a Mosquito. In the 1/6th scale a spit. , corsair, P47 razor back, or a P38. They need to be transportable and affordable. Thanks for the query. .......................................PS, I like the plug in wing idea also.
