What is your interest? As you know we do not import our planes from China, we do it all in the USA. We are creating a new line of planes and need your input.

Paul:
I think an aileron trainer would be good for your lineup. I invision it to be the next airplain after a slow stick type basic trainer. It would bring new pilots into the airfoilZ family, and serve as a transition from an elevator, rudder trainer to the Yak, and beyond.
It should be small enough to use a GWS 350 type motor, plus the electronics they all ready have. Then they should be able to go to a small Scorpion and ECS without a major rebuild.

We have that, we just never got around to releasing it, I will post some pics so you tell us what you think.

Paul,
I would like to see some smaller versions of the profile airfoilz planes. Like a 32" Yak, Edge or something new like a Katana or Extra. Any design that would come in at 12-14oz. and be able to power them with Hacker A20-26's or similar motors. I think that there is a huge market for this size plane. Just my 2 cents

A tad bigger versions......Cap's, Yaks, Extras, Ultimates, etc. More color choices would be great as well.

Well i havn't recieved my airfoilz yet in the mail, but for what I saw and the massive praise i recieved, im sure ill be wanting more. With that said I would like to se more differant types of planes...

Ya know as I put together the Mobius Pro, I would probably pay more for an Airfoilz bird it already had the leading edges shaped and the 45° on the control surfaces..
How about a unit that the components were already built, ie: Wings built, firewall built, landing grear mount installed.. Basically where one would only have to install electronics, motor, glue in wing and tail???
Would make it a true 2 hr assembly, a person could put a battery on charge, assemble, and fly when the pack was ready LoL. :D

I'd buy the full range! :D

Well, I would have to agree with Greg Cothern's idea. I would pay more to have the leading and trailing edges of the surfaces already beveled. The rest of the build doesn't take very long at all except for the beveling.

Ok lets see it!! I never saw this post before! I think this would be a huge hit!:D

a copy of the old aeromaster kit by lou andrews, a Bipe always in time. a large version, like 50"

we could make indoor F3P type planes for the ETOC type pilots
that'd be cool, with a really small airfoil that looks like it's flat, you could out perform everyone

An indoor model would be sweet;)

I think that a larger 47-54" Airfoilz would really bring a larger following to the Airfoilz brand. I agree with all that have posted that a pre-beveled foam would really speed up the build time. Have you ever looked at putting a airfoilz on the elevator?

could we have preinstalled and sealed control surfaces like the katana MD?
that would be awesome :D

Sure....I'll have to get these made in china. I'm try to contrube to the wealth of the USA and not china right now 98% of everything is make overseas.

The pre-beveled surfaces would be a good idea and save build time. As for the slow-flyers a GeeBee style with the airfoil wing would make a great indoor plane. The GeeBees out now are flimsy but an Airfoilz GeeBee would take hard 3D Flying. Also the Bearcat and Zero wouldn't be complete without a P51 Mustang and Spitfire in the lineup.
