Commercial Airplanes

[TheBigPancake]

With the release of the new AL37 from motion, i would LOVE to see an airliner or other type of commercial plane from FT. With such little options in the market for this segment, having the ability to build one FT style would be amazing! Just a few ideas:

Douglas DC3/ C47 Skytrain

Pusher-prop 737/airbus a320

Super constellation (unrealistic, but a cool idea none the less)

I wish the options for airliners were a little more abundant in the pnp/bnf/arf realm, but this could be a lot of fun!

Some community members have made planes like the ones you're talking about.

Unfortunately unrauv passed away fairly recently so I'm not sure if the Connie was finished.

I'd love to see an FT style DC3 though. That would be sweet. I'm thinking a 2 meter wingspan would be about right...

Something like passenger aircraft would be perfectly suited for the master build series. 10 foot wingspan airliners launching off grass at Edgewater would be cool to see.

yeah, I have the 737 built awaiting electronics at home thinking of just running a pusher prop on the back

I would love a decent 1.0m wingspan DC3 for park flying. such a good looking plane! I was tempted to buy the motion AL37 but the size and price were a bit much for me :/

I would have to slog thru my build list of bi planes and war planes before I get to the point of looking at commercial aircraft builds. I still have yet to put a fixed wing in the air for a full pack. I suffer from quad brain badly.

 

[TheBigPancake]

true. I really wish the DC3 Micro from hobby zone was better, but apparently quality is shotty

FT already is prototyping a DC-3. But I agree more airliners!

That's so amazing to hear! I would buy the SBK for that in a heartbeat!

Douglas DC3 would be a great idea, I think. Commercial airlines should consider about the services they can offer to regular people and common passengers. By the way, talking of service and business class tickets, here is an awesome website where I could find the tickets with the cheapest prices and the most reliable search engine.
