A question for the model makers of HJG

[cub51]

Hi there,
First of all, thanks to all the model makers of this Group(HJG) for the beautyful models that you already made, my question is, maybe one day you guys, can made a model with flex wings? should be swell!! really this little detail make the diference! at list in my opinion!

Thanks again for the good work, and please don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with your planes and I fly them a lot!!!

Trully yours

It's not a little detail but a major job

Additionally, the MD-80 and DC-9 wings don't flex that much. Erick did it on his models, but only because he wanted to do it, 99% of the time, you can't even tell they're flexing.

The DC-8s are models that were done prior to wing flex really being an established procedure in FS, so they don't include it though again, the DC-8 has a very stiff wing so flex isn't a major factor.

It's something you mostly see in turbulence or on touchdown with a bit of a bounce but they won't be bent upwards in flight.

They certainly don't arch or curve like you see in modern day jetliners with long tapered wings. So even if there was a new model of the DC-8, you shouldn't expect to see it.
