I've been largely away from the jet scene for quite a while, mainly due to having too many toys for my available space and being overwhelmed by bit and bobs. I have now decided that I need to sort this out and my rekindled interest has led me back to RCU.

However, I was quite suprised that not a lot seems to have happened. Some of the same old threads are still active and, more disappointingly, there doesn't seem to be much new in the way of models. I was hoping to be tempted by a new arrival but it appears not.

Have I missed something? Has anyone been doing any development of new models? What might be around the corner? Or do I just need to stay content with F15's, F16's, Flashes and Bobcats?.

Definitely not, check out this new sport jet coming in the spring from Fly Eagle Jet models, can't wait for this one!

Yah, but I hear the designer is a little whacko!!

I'm not whacko, I'm just around paint all day long that'll make anyone nuts :P

Actually, if you look at some of the newer threads here, you'll find several new releases from Skymaster, Fei Bao, Jet Legend, Fly Eagle and a few others (albeit that most if not all new stuff is coming out of China).

I would love to get my hands on the the SM F-4 or the new Fly Eagle F-15E

Happy Holidays!

Yeh and we finally have the 12x 2.4 on English shores, if not actually out of the bonded warehouse!

Yes to the first and no to the second. . . . . . 2009 will be very interesting I think.
