RE: What Should Be Next
I'd like to see something out of Star Wars for sale. I'm working on Darth Vader's TIE fighter right now. You can try that or take your pick of the one of the many other craft. I'd buy one

Ilike to see the canister type vacum since it probally be the easyier of the 2 to design and make. Then again the upright you make like a multi. wing plane. like the old tri planes and by planes. But thats a far out idea. LOL

I like the vacuum idea, you have a push mower, so an upright might work... basically be like a profile plane, instead of the sides being the profile like most of your current models, use the middle... I don't know, the canister just wouldn't look right without the hose or push part...

RE: What Should Be Next
a flying hamburger would hit the jackpot. i dont know how it would be done, but a flying hamburger would be great. with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and catchup hanging out of a fiberglass hamburger shaped fuselage. maybe a round, fiberglass shaped fuselage/wing all in one, twin tails and a pusher prop?
the other thing that would be awsome would be a flying cheese wedge. maybe a ducted fan cheese wedge, and using the leading edge, or the sharp edge of the cheese as a control surface? obviously it would not be very aerodynamic with a large, flat area in the back, but worst case scenario is it slows it down a bit, since your controls would all be as canards in front... but oh man would that be cool.

I'll be more then Happy to give you royality. All you have to do it get that canistar to fly with a vaccuum hose attached to it. I'll have no problems vaccuuming this house
Eric
1) a regular looking plane that flies backward Check out the pictures
2) 4 blue angels in a diamond Was that in RCM Magazine ??????? Alway had like that one
3) a trackless roller coaster I like that idea very much might get to do it one day, That should be an easy one for me
4) full size dinosaur era dragonfly Funny that you mention that, Henry (Partner) and I were talking about that a few days ago
5) magic carpet That one is on the back burner with the Surfing Dude (JustStartBlue gave me that idea about the surfer)
6) pig PIG???? ok I got it "When Pigs Fly" I'll do that one
Last but not list
SPACECLAM

I found this article while searching for hovercraft in [link=http://www.popularmechanics.com/outdoors/boating/1276886.html]popularmechanics.com boating[/link] .
I don't know if anyone's done anything like this "wing in ground effect" or WIG, craft but it would be nice

Ill second the dragonfly wbamb83392
If you were going to make it with operational wings youd have to think about reciprocal forces; they produce high strains . . . Apparently the US government is looking into this as a means of surveillance on a smaller scale.

For some reason everytime I think about it, I get Hungry. One thing for sure I still like the flying burger deal, there is a clear picture in my mind of the Flying Burger, and it looks good. It's not up to me though, I'm leaving it up to you Guys to see what the next FlyingThingZ product will be.
