Yet another Firebird
 

Well, couldn't hold back, saw the other threads and had to chime in! :D

It's in paint right now and will be flying soon.

It's Firebird Central up in here.
Way to go. That's one spicy jet.
Gotta go with the Billy Edwards "Batmobile" canopy look:D

Hi David:

What motor is going in yours?

I should be starting to stuff mine, built by Kirk Jensen, the first week of November.

Hey Tom, looks sweet! Like the paint lines!

AMT NL Olympus. While I was over at Jet Power a few weeks ago I had stopped by Bennie's place, something tells me the motor is gonna have just a bit more push to it. ;)

I'm looking forward to the Caribbean Fly-Inn down in Santo Domingo, D.R. I plan to fly it down there WFO, should be a lot of fun!

RE: Yet another Firebird
 

Oh yeah!!!! Cranked Oly NL......when Bennie sees your DR vids, I think Geoff W. is gonna have another build project....;)

I've always liked the Firebird ever since I first saw itlong agoat the old SupermanweeksinMetropolis.
They are pretty rare& I haven't personally seen one fly in years so I need my memory refreshed...

Is the Firebird mainly just a speed machine?
Or can it fly relatively slow&ina moreaerobatic style?

I've often considered this jet, but held back thinking it's just a speed demon.
Thanks for any info...Scott

Hey Shui,

If you need me to fly on down to the D.R. and test fly that bad boy for you, just let me know. ;)

I'm world renown for my skillz, just ask me, I'll tell you.

Raf

(P.S. J/k firebirds are awsome!! :D )
