Hi Daniel,

looks good to me. What colour scheme are you planning?

As to what others are working on, well, have a look at 'New models for 2021' thread. I think we've all had enough of 2020! :sick:

The Ryan Firebee was a drone dropped from a Grumman A6 Intruder. I am building a 1:5.5 scale A6 and have been looking for a CAD Firebee. I have the ability to take the Firebee plan and convert to a printable CAD file and print a pair of Firebee at 1:5.5 scale. Where do I find the Firebee plan?

Below are pix of one of the A6 Intruder 1:5.5 flown in the "The Flight Of The Intruder" film of Steven Coonts novel by the same name. The model was damaged in a hurricane here in Houston. It was gifted to me.

We created a new fiberglass mold and currently laying up r/c A6's for either EDF or Turbine power.The six is 119" long with a 115" wingspan. I want to release a pair of free light Firebee from the A6.

I am currently designing a series of 1:5.5 scale Grumman A6's (A, E, EA, and KA,). I was gifted an A6 from the FX producer for the John Milius film version of Stephen Coonts novel "Flight Of The Iintruder", The 1:5.5 scale A6 was damaged during a hurricane and needed extreme repair.

Rather than repair, it was decided to create a new multiple piece fiberglass mold with which to lay up fiberglass fuselage and components.

I would like to acquire a copy of the Firebee plan...paper or if a CAD drawing was utilized... ;^) a copy of the file to create EDF/Turbine R/C Firebees for release from our A6...as was the case for the real Ryan Firebee as the first cruise missle.

Below are a few pix of the A6 Intruder:

Hi FM, welcome to Jetex.org! Your Intruder is certainly quite a bit bigger than the normal model featured on our website. :ohmy:

The A6 Intruder is a pretty aeroplane, and built to a suitable size (say 15" span) and weight (35 grams) would be perfect for a TSP L-2 (150mN thrust) or -here's a thought - two TSP L-1s! It's not been done before, I think. :unsure:

Daniel has made a Firebee for TSP L-2, but I'm not sure where the plan for this came from. I'll contact Dan directly and see if I can get him to send you a copy.

Above: Daniel's Firebee. Definitely flyable!

Note from admin: this, and the previous two posts are slightly 'off topic'. :S If there is sufficient interest, I will start a new thread about the A-6 and the Firebee. :)
