There is a new mm hellcat, a 50” A-10 and the me-262. All are master series I think. I like the new packaging, it reminds me of a kite. They are in stock on the ft stem store btw
NEW PLANES!!!

cool. really want the a10, but 160 dollars is way too expensive for me.
It is a full kit, with decals, and electronics. Not really that much, considering.

The new kits are not yet in the Flite Test Store. They are in the FT Stem Store: https://store.ftstem.com/airplanes/
I'm pretty sure the 262 is only the airframe. It is fairly large compared to the other two. It's roughly the size of the original FT A-10.

15 sheets of foam, 70 inch wings. Yikes!

where you seeing that it comes with electronics? it shows "recommended" electronics but doesn't say anything about them being included that i can find.
it does show a black box in the pic like the ones they use for their power packs so crossing fingers.
laters,

Yeah, that has me confused as well. It shows the black power pack box but it says nothing about it coming with electronics. Also it might be worth mentioning that ft doesn’t offer a twin F power pack which is what the A-10 is designed for. Maybe @fliteadmin or @Splinter189 can clarify.where you seeing that it comes with electronics? it shows "recommended" electronics but doesn't say anything about them being included that i can find.

John Overstreet said in included everything except the receiver and battery. When mine comes tomorrow, I will confirm it for you.

The A10 comes with all the electronics minus receiver, battery and TX.
The motors are 2207 2500kv with FT 35amp escs and 5in clear props.

Wow the FT Guys surprised me by releasing the a-10, me-262 and the mm ms Hellcat on the ft stem store!
I will probably get all of them eventually!
I hope the a-10 comes with electronics!

excellent. ordered mine earlier today. the whole reason i have not built the other is i HATED the front propellers on the plane. i live in tucson, home of the A-10, so i can't excuse flying something like that.
this is also the first $$$ i have spent @ FT in awhile. glad to see them stepping up.

Really bummed that the new planes will be exclusively sold as a speed build kit. @Splinter189 does that mean from now
on, flite test will no longer release plans? In my opinion that is not the spirit of flite test.

Ya I would love to build the new mm zero or corsair, but because there are no plans and I cant justify spending 30$ on something I can do myself with 1-2hrs and 6$ of foam I can build them. And the hellcat. Sigh

13th squadron, and there was another site with a whole bunch of amazing planes, some guy who passed away a couple of years ago......

Except for opinions, nothing else in life is free. Someone pays. Always.
FT products are relatively cheap. Nothing is stopping folks from buying SBKs and using the traced patterns for rebuilding unlimited replacement aircraft after crashes.

They have done and continue to do a lot for the hobby - but Flite Test has never been a charity. I wonder, do you feel "greedy" when you cash your own paycheck?
