Some A6 development update, we just finish the computer tests to see how the aircraft will fly, the stall speed, how it will behavior on a 10G load, wing static loads (stress, strain, displacement) this was done using ANSY/FEA so here are some results.

These are the same tests which were done on the Vixen design and she flies nice so your are in for a great treat when this hits the stores, I'm hoping my work on the F84 will get a chance to come to market too soon,

Caught up with your thread. Fabulous collection of work! You should be either commended or committed...as
the overall airframe is an extreme challenge to replicate and I must say you have done an exceptional job!!
I sent a PM back channel.
Looking for a positive reply!

The only jets they claimed to “produce” were literally just Feibo kits with a slightly better paint job. But they made out in the beginning it was them that developed it until they got found out and had to admit it it wasn’t them

I wouldn’t waste my time with this if I were you. They disappeared a while ago. They promised all these jets that they were gonna bring out and they took orders and deposits even before the started making kits, then they never made the kits and didn’t tell anyone!

I’ve never seen any A-6 actually make it to market and I’ve been watching it since the movie came out. The EA-6B from Der Jet is the only one close. And Freewing’s foamie for the smaller size. Lots of vapor ware and talk but the design is pretty tough to duplicate. I’ll be in line for one when it does make the scene after they’ve proven they can deliver and keep it going

Patrnflyr,
Obviously we are well beyond the vapor gossip point at 1:5.5 ...questions?
By the way, one of our plugs is composed from one of the eight pulled from the "Flight Of The Intruder" movie molds. The FX company for the movie was here in Houston. Those were created in Wiley...not far from you.

100% More Thrust Than "The Flight Of The Intruder" 6's...
Accurate scale intakes. 87cm2 ea. (105.61% FSA 110mm EDF) 40# thrust from two Hacker StreamFan-JetFan on 12s.
.................................................. ...................
.................................................. ................
Nice thing is this plane form was flown in the movie with less than 50% of the JetFan 110Pro's thrust (ByroJet) which had no inlet ducting.

Replacing Brittle 30 Year Old A-6 Vacuum Formed Parts
Thomas White has contributed to this project by making new vacuum form plugs to save countless hours remaking masters from scratch.
The vacuum forming we had was over 30 years old and brittle. We needed to be sure we did not melt original vacuum formed parts. This
is achieved with metal infused high temp resin poured "into" the original part. The issue is exothermic resin's curing temperature is high.
High enough to melt the original Styrene before resin hardening.
Thomas successfully recreated 90% of the plugs without melting the originals.
