So far not much other than we might see some action late Feb. I have been talking to the guy's at YT INTERNATIONAL. You might log on to and join that web site. Lot's of good stuff on other YT planes as well. Just register and search for Swordfish. Wish someone would hurry up and post some more pictures. Bad enough I don't know what it's going to cost me but at least I'd like to see some more information. Oh well! Look's like Christmas will have to come in Feb. I HOPE! Happy New Year to you , your family and the other guys on the Swordfish waiting list. I will post whatever I get my hands on.Tony.

Thought you might like to see what Christmas was like here in West Virginia. Not to many neighbors and the lake out back is frozen and to bumpy to fly off of now, but boy do I have fun in the summer time.Tony.

well, I hit the send button and payment has been sent........time to start getting the gear together. 6 servoes, probably different wheels and oh what engine?

ispirit99

Sent off my payment as soon as I got the E-Mail. Now back to waiting. I can't stand It!! Worse than waiting for Christmas when I was a kid expecting to get a new bike. LOL. Ram-bro what size servos do you plan on useing? Any other guys waiting for delivery? Would like to hear your ideas on engines and mods you plan on doing. Don't think I will do much except the cockpit. Got to find the right guys to go in there. Any Ideas other than Aces of Iron pilots?

Ty says he will be making a cockpit kit for the Swordfish.........excellent!!!!

ispirit99

OHMAN!! That is some great news!! I have been watching his work and HE IS GOOD! If the guys at ESM keep this up I'm going to have to sell my house LOL. This is bad! Everytime I think I'm done, they come out with another one. If ESM planes were women, I would be Tiger Woods!! Just can't get enough!!

Hey guys,
If anyone had any good pic's of the front and rear cockpit of the Swordfish I could really use them. The ones I have found on the net have been of poor quality. I am collecting my documentation now for this one...

they would work best if you e-mail them to me... [email protected]

Scale is just a bit larger than 1/6.4.

Full scale is 546.06" (45 1/2 feet).

This model is just about 85.4"

My Feedback: (101)

all I know is that it was shipping Tueday or wednesday. I am thinking just maybe I will be putting some elbow grease into the plane. depending upon how easily the decals can be removed, the paintt scheme should be easy to duplicate.....at last that way we could fly formation and not fly each others plane I guess you can tell I am getting excited about this plane and Ty's cockpit kit. Anyone know of a good source for 1/6th scale pilots?

ispirit99

Ty, did you get an E-Mail about delivery or did your planes just show up at your door?

ispirit99

Hey guys! I have been thinking about these animated pilots from this source. You have to put them together and hook up the servo but it might really be slick. They also come in 1/6 scale and are waist length with no legs. Also no cloths. Check out this site. You may have a little trouble trying to register but I did get a response. I might go for two of them for the Swordfish. http://www.churchillcreations.co.uk/forum. Tony.
