No joke on the F4U Corsair! The airplane is designed to use a 150cc motor!! Retracts are being designed now and the B-29 retracts are being finished now. Once these are complete and sent to China they will be fitted into the design/building stages and the prototypes will be completed and sent. Both of these WWII planes should be very cool and unique! No pricing yet on these. The BD-5 will be a bit later in the year but will definatley happen! I love this plane!

The Ultimate, Yup, must be a typo! It is a 20-300 sorry guys, my bad. Anyway, I am very , very busy trying to get new stuff pumped out b4 other companies jump in and steal the show! lol.... Can you imagine!!! A B-29 ARF set up for (4) 50cc motors and an 18' wing! Cool!!

Look for this stuff to show up later in the year!!

Also in the design stages is the New (unannounced) 60% Edge 540!

The thought of a 150cc F4U almost makes my knees turn to jell-o. What a sight that would be.....the plane not my knees I mean.
Can you imagine that scaled out with folding wings and a Moki 5 cylinder radial ??????
Uhhhh ..... I may need counselling for the rest of my life.

If you want a scaled out, folding wing Corsair... better go with a CompARF. The ones I will have will be very high quality airplane made from wood. The wings will not be foldable. Sorry but we must keep the cost down!! It all about pricing and quality!

Hey Bill How are you?
Yep I appreciate the different design yours will have for the reasons you gave. What I meant was if you produce the overall size and finished package as a baseline. I wouldn't be at all surprised if some scale nut takes it to the next level. H9 P47's have been transformed into really accurate versions with a lot of work. Scale dudes just love to go the extra mile with details.
