A larger Sukhoi would be a nice addition to the 66 inch planes.

For something along the scale lines I'd prefer the Long EZ or one of its variants in a .60 or .90 size. For an aerobatic model I'd prefer a .60 size Yak 54 - but I think they should expand their line a bit and do something other than aerobatic planes. Definately stay away from doing a Cub - I have one myself and do like them but it just isn't good business sense.

I definitely agree with the thought of doing something no other manufacturer is doing. If I can think of any complaint about their current lineup it is that the choices have all been covered by other manufacturers.

Another option would be to update some of their current offerings so they are more 3D capable - may as well cash in on the craze.

One I'd love to see that almost NO ONE models is the Saiai Marchetti SF 260.

A biplane like an Ultimate, Pitts, Moth, Stearman, Stagger Wing Beach, WACO, or the like would be very nice!

Yep! A Staggerwing ARF .60 to .90 size with functional, high quality retracts and suspension, and plug in wings!! There's my vote! Heck, I'd even go for a 1.20 size! Who could resist???

Lets heren it for the luscombes. One of the greatest and good looking planes, with a decent history. Why is it they are so hard to find. I'd jump on the chance to get one.

I 2nd the Beechcraft Staggerwing LOVE that plane, and it seems like the only ones you can get are tiny (wattage) HUGE (Old Byron Stgerwing) or darn plans with Crazy hard constrution!

Make it 1/4 scale not much out there in the way of biplanes in a arf unless you want a Pitts that you can use a gas engine in the 40cc range on.

A VectorFlight BiPlane. The idea makes me tingley inside to imagine one at any scale size .40 and up! With the VF Quallity combined with the VF prices, I am sure it would be a huge success!

A Biplane....that's what they need....

It would "Round Out" their lineup quite nicely!

With their reputation for QUALITY..it would be a sleeper!

My 2 cents rounded to the nearest Nickle!

Yup,, an Ultimate or any sports bipe would be great. I mentioned this to John at VF not long ago. So he sent me this VectorFlight prototype to try out and review.
The VECTORFLIGHT VENOM !!




(John is laughing himself sick right now I betcha.) "Sorry John,, had to do it buddy."

Oh....and I was just wondering...

I laid my H9 Miss America to rest yesterday.....so I'm down to one plane in the hangar that's flyable...

what is the usual delivery time for an Edge 540 66" now-a-days....

I'm not in a hurry...If waiting means I get all the latest and greatest enhancements....I'll wait!

I think they could do up a nice 50cc class 3D ship.. Not an Edg, Extra, or heaven forbid a Yak.. But maybe a Sukhoi, Cap 232, or DR 109.. The only think is, I would want nice fiberglass cowls and pants.

by the looks of the quality of their planes and especially at the price, they could build any model, even the dreaded cub,p51 or a high winger, they would severely impact the sales of all the other suppliers of these same models. i say : "if they build it, we will buy it"

If you order, you will want to do it well before the Christmas rush. Last year I remember they got backed up pretty good right around Thanksgiving through Christmas. If you order soon, you might have it in 4-6 weeks IMO, but the closer it gets to Christmas you might run into the chance that they get backed up building Planes. IMO they really are worth the little wait to recieve a Plane that doesn't look like it was just throwed together. I build strictly kits now, and VectorFlight is the only ARF Co. that I will order from now because they build there Planes like I would build it myself with attention given to detail in the building process. I have had the VF Edge 540 (Rest In Peace), and I will also own the own the 66" Extra 300 one day soon when I get some of my present build projects finished up. The Edge was one of the best looking and best flying Planes I had in my Hangar of about 13 or 14 Planes. I really hated to see it go, but all Planes expire sooner or later no matter how great they are.

Yup Larry,,,, Kangoroony speaks the truth. I ordered mine last year around the turkey eating time and it was a bit longer wait.
But like he said ,,, "
