Is FliteTest going downhill?

[TrooperCooper]

I can't help but notice Flite Test has really slowed down on releasing plans. Last year there were a total of four designs released. That's way down from the 10ish plans from past years. Sure, plans have gotten better in quality, and the community has been creating a lot of interesting designs, but I really miss more regular official releases. What's going on?

Also, they have been promising V2 Mustangs and Spitfires for over a year...

But look at the last few releases... a cardboard airplane? A 5 minute mod to an FT sparrow... thats hardly a whole new design... The edge was very impressive though!

What about the Legacy or the Porco Rosso planes (2!) they are working on?

I'm excited for these! I think my struggle is how few and far between they have become. However, they have still given us a lot to build, and the forum continues to grow as well, so that's good!

Stefan, put the email and everyone on the go-cart idea on the forum for the forum community to read, also give more details about that type of go-cart. https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/more-info-on-go-cart-idea-for-flite-test.54656/

I gotta say, that FT Edge that just came out, that's a pretty impressive design. I am seriously thinking of making that one next; just gotta get the necessary electronics for it. I'd make all the 3D pilots at my field sit up and take notice of a FT kit, that's for certain!
