I have more footage of this one (Colin Gardner's Merlin powered) in the camera, can try to post if someone desperately wants to see it. Like the man said....virtually impossible to keep these things framed

Turbone, that looks nice. No word of the SE for the 200, don't need it
, Keep us informed of your progress. Where will you be flying it at?

Does anybody have any videos of the Firebird? Preferrably one that has a take off and landing in it.
Thanks,
Billy

Now that you have the ALMIGHTY F-BIRD.... The question is will you ever fly it????? There is no need for a 200SE... Those big block blowers spool up plenty quick

In short time Duk. Got to finish what's on the bench now. In the mean time, I can do some homework. Can't wait to build this "HILL CLIMBER". [sm=lol.gif]

RE: JMP FIREBIRD videos
Billy, first few flights will be either Rabbit dry lake or el mirage then basin as its close by. Did you also get one? That will make 4 in the south bay I spoke to sung a week ago and his is done.
Afterburner my 14m shows a few hundred hours on it hopefully this year will have a bunch of firebird time

RE: JMP FIREBIRD videos

I own one that I have been flying for a while. I don't have video, just lots of stills. Is there something I can tell you?

I think Billy wants to know about landing characteristics, compared to say a KingCat and whether that speedbrake has much effect.
Thanks in advance,

RE: JMP FIREBIRD videos
I just like to watch the plane before I fly it. And since there isn't too many flying around here i figured the vid would be the next best thing.
Makes sence that there are not to many vids out there,......just too dang fast to shoot

The Firebird is not a short field plane, but as long as you have enough runway, it is not difficult to land. You need to carry some speed, but the plane flares nicely and has little tendency to bounce, unlike the Kingcat. I think the belly speed brake does help some. It handles crosswinds nicely. The landing gear and tires are strong points for the kit, are positioned well and matched nicely with the airframe.
The takeoffs are the smoothest of any plane I have flown.
It does eat up a lot of sky, but that is what it was designed to do.
