Why no A6 from BVM?

I'd love to see an A-6 from BVM, or anyone for that matter....

What's the skinny?

The engine placement on the A-6 makes integration into a model extremely difficult. Extreme ARF is working on one right now and we may see the prototype by the end of 2016. I'm waiting too...

I asked the same question about 10 years ago when turbines were getting real popular. I figured they would get more powerful by now in smaller packages, and it seems they have. I guess just not small enough.

The model would have to be big to do it justice.

My favorite thing about them is the wingtip speed brakes and would love to see that feature modeled.

I am sure one will come sooner or later. Mine has been on hold for years due to family, but I will have mine fly someday.

Yes they did...Ronnie was building me one in '06-'07, but went beyond the completion time and was eventually sold off. I'm not sure if the molds and everything were sold at the same time.

Do tell! How far along are you? Specs? Is this something you plan to sell or just a one-of?

Hey thanks JetHead. I have been getting the itch so I am going to button up my Flash and have been thinking about pulling the plug down from the loft for the last couple weeks so I think it is going to happen soon. Hopefully I will post in the thread when that happens.
