Well that's not entirely true. But they have entertained the idea.

See this thread (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=808972) and if you think this is a good idea, feel free to chime in. Maybe if enough folks let them know there is a demand for them, they just might start making and selling them.

How can any company that is involved in RC not realize the demand is huge and getting bigger all the time.

Thanks,

I see. Thanks.

Be nice to see some three channels in the future. And maybe some you can put your own Rx in them.

I'd like to see GWS make some nice indoor fliers in the 3-4 oz range. I'm sure they would be a hot item. Someone mentioned a miniature Formosa. Now that would be something.

Yea...that was me.

I am in the middle of building the Formosa right now.

I REALLY am getting into the price point of the micro stuff now.

i bought the buzz p-38 and b-17 and love em. i mean for $29.99 for the p-38 and compare that to a rolling fury or starscream, theres no comparison. i flew the b-17 today for the first time and it was wild, a little windy but i can tell this thing can move, and it cost less than the rolling fury??????? I'll eat up ANY good micro warbird like the cox's, i'm waiting for them to reintroduce them in may and will be buying a couple. i don't think they even need to be 3 ch. a good looking scale 2 ch would make me happy.

I'd like to see some of the GWS line-up miniaturized. They really don't need to even be RTFs just be able to fly in a gym or even outside will little wind as long as they weigh less than 4 ounces.

Trying to build some interest with GWS here. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=808972 So if you'd like to see that also, please let them know the demand is out there.

Thanks,

Frank

Well I thought this would be a good thing to have. I still do. But I must be in a small minority.

im with you on this...

to push it even further - imagine super scaled gws airframes that you could drop minimum guts into?? micro ww2 fighters? micro pusher a-10's? oh boy!

I still don't understand why there arent more good looking micro airframes out there.
