RE: Brushfire or A-6 Intruder?
Mark, I will see if it will scan any better. The pic is not in the greatest condition any more.
Stuart, yes I was there. I remember you and Dave L. and Norm S. and George A. and Charie L. from PA and Stan R. also from PA. Many years ago. I came up to the contests with the Maryland guys. |

Ok how about a name or initials :)

RE: Brushfire or A-6 Intruder?
Do you have a scan of the plans?
ORIGINAL: sc204 I checked the original plans for the wood version and it lists the Brushfire as 858 sq inches and 9 1/4 pounds. The length is 58 1/4" give or take due to folds in the paper and the span is 65". The original article appeared in R/C Model builder in April 1980. Lets see if the uploaded images are readable.

I'd really forgotten how beautiful the Brushfire was Dan!
UAL - Love the color scheme on that one. Perhaps time for a revival? All the Brushfires I remember had the pipe mounted on top like yours. Seems like a much better way to go. A bit Arrow-esque with the classic Phoenix lines. You've just gotta love em. Anyone remember Howard Morin flying his beat up old red one? That kid rocked with his. joe W. |
RE: Brushfire or A-6 Intruder?
I do have the plans but not a scan of them. They are usable but pretty beaten up.
Sorry, Stuart |

Four servos in the wing and all those linkages. Did many people fly them without the flaps?

RE: Brushfire or A-6 Intruder?
That's a great-looking Brushfire and I've about decided to get one from Dan and put
a JETT 'FIRE' in it. In the late 70s and early 80's I flew the Vertigo II with a Rossi on a pipe....and I loved it. It was clocked at 135 on Highway Patrol radar....no kidding. Now seems like everyone is flying YAKs, Extras, and Edges. I want a classic Pattern Plane, and I think this is it. Regards JC FASST FLIER |

This got me thinking about the advantages of the RE engine and keeping the pipe on the centerline. This enables putting the center-of-drag, the lateral CG, and the center-of-thrust, all on the centerline of the fuselage. The plane is much more aerodynamically symmetrical. JC |
