Hey Mike
It looks great ! What do you plan to power it with ? Bring it up to Jet Over Whidbey NAS next year , it would be a hit for sure .

Keep us posted

Wow, awesome! Love to see more of those out there.

Spacemonkey,
There's a sight for sore eyes. LOL. I was inquiring about some plans for one of these a few months ago. I was beginning to think I would have to make it myself. [] Would definately be interested in the outcome of this. Do you have any plans to kit it or anything? Looks great and keep us posted. [8D]

Hey Mike:
Great job, I hope she fly's so well that you have to share it with the rest of the planet,,,,,,,,,,,,, like a kit

Dave

Hey guys thanks for the response.Right now there are tenative plans to make it into a kit.As we get futher into the project that will be determined.We are on a deadline so we`ll know real soon.With the intake and exhaust being very short(mainly the exhaust) we`re building it for twin turbine or DF.We will try a single turbine also once we have it flying.With this much wing it should fly well with twin p-70 or p-80 size engines all the way up to say twin Pegasus or(twin Olympus),oops thats not legal.

We`ll post more pictures in a day or so.

Mike

what's the deadline? need pix? if you don't have one nearby you could possibly drive down to San Diego in two weeks for the Miramar Air Show. I'm sure there will be atleast one flying in for static display.

looks good.

Any new pics / updates? What are you going to do for landing gear?

I will be posting new pictures this week. As for the gear,the mains are based on the F-14 so the prototypes are being made from drawings of the Tomcat gear.The nose leg will be Prowler specific.We`re making tooling to partially make the gear out of composites to save weight.

Heres a few more pictures of the Prowler.Progress is starting to pick up,theres another set of hands on the project now.



Mike

Very nice and unusual design, congrats. You should also seriously think in the single turbine version... there is a fouga magister design which uses a single turbine with a bifurcated pipe in nozzles well set apart like yours without problems...

Rgds, Enrique

That is going to be Sweet!!!!! Good luck!!!!

Hey guys,I got a chance to start glassing the Prowler today.Heres a few pictures.Enrique, you`re absolutly right it shouldn`t be no problem to make a single turbine version.
We went out to the airshow at Miramar this past weekend expecting to get some close up detail shots of a Prowler and there were none on display.The next chance to get up close to one looks like Nellis airshow next month.Does anyone know a good website with good detail shots.

Excuse the dates on the pictures I have to set the date every battery change.

I was going to ask about the dates on the pictures. [sm=lol.gif]

What kind of pictures are you looking for? I have a few, but most are either flying or landing/take off.

All EA-6B fans,

I came to this string looking for a scale model of the Prowler. My company is doing some antenna develpoment work for the Navy, and we need an accurate model of the Prowler to do our testing. If anybody has an EA-6B at any level of completion I would love to talk to you.

Thanks,
Ben

Nice looking Prowler I thought about building one but you beat me to it. Looks good all lofted up and about to be glassed please keep us posted I am very interested in your product.

There already IS a 1/6 scale A-6, I think the two seater version. It was kitted some years ago, I believe the plug was made for FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER. Glass fuse, of course.
I know a fellow who has two of them, so far unfinished.
Did you know about those ones before you started?

ET,
The one's you are talking about are manufactured by JetMartUSA now. I believe they were marketed by someone else prior, the name eludes me at the moment. I don't like the looks of the A-6. I know they are the same basic airframe, and both have a look only a mother could love. LOL. I used to work on the EA-6B and to me it looks better with the extended cockpit on it. [8D]

Just wanted to share the latest shots of the Prowler with you guys.



Mike

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Put me down, [X(][X(]

Here`s a few more shots out of the shop and in the SoCal sunshine.

Anymore updates?

Great job! but which is it? 1/6th? or 1/6.5?

I like this tail.
