Project Foil Guesses?

[EA-6B Geek]

Oh yeah. Flip that "Master Bad" switch :)

Hey! Maybe "foil" has something to do with gold foil, bonded to a canopy. Extend when you can, turn when you must!:Cool:

they could make a 4 man cockpit for the a6 I would think and call it a growler

Yup, same airframe. Just 59" longer if I remember correctly. :)

[EA-6B Geek]

Could not say no to a Prowler conversion either!
But, must admit I think Foil is an F-100, like most seem to.

[Ron1950]

Whatever it is it will have to be on my wishlist and not my home. Still no i repeat no room lol

[Ron1950]

was on the rc castle site and saw a freewing g91 90mm jet...it very much like a f100 and it even has a drog chute which I love...ill go with the F100 as foil

[dutchwhite001]

What if "Foil" means something like the Hughes XF-11?

[AZFlyer]

Sorry if I missed something, but where did y'all here Project Foil get mentioned? I can't find any mention of it on Motion's site or here (except for this thread).

thanks

In this thread:

https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc-airplanes/miscellaneous-rc-airplane-chat/83377-what-s-next-alpha

Alpha said it is definitely an EDF, but that's all the info we have.

[Porkster]

I too am hoping its an F100 but fear that Alphas mind works in more more complex ways!! the connection is way too easy.........

Hey, I think the F-117 uses gold foil in some places. Maybe we are getting a twin 80mm F-117? OOOOOOOooooooh yaaaaaa!

[dutchwhite001]

I think I came up with something! How about the WB-57? So this was in the write up about the development of the aircraft; "The production aircraft were further modified with new TF33-P-11A engines that delivered even greater thrust than those of the prototypes. Foil systems developed in 1962 for the WC-130B to collect particulate debris from nuclear tests were installed in the bomb bay and the fuselage beside the cockpit". Just running down the ideas ALPHA. This could make a pretty good EDF and stable but unique aircraft.

[OV10]

Can't remember what thread it was that Alpha talked about the Canberra and the engineering challenges that the wing/nacelle intersect posed for EDF inclusion.
It would be the first twin EDF bomber though.

[Prowler901]

I would love a Canberra. They are SO COOL! :Cool:

[dutchwhite001]

OV10, you could use a plastic spar carryover much like the original. Or simply make a short front spar and a short rear spar insert with the edf pocket?

[dutchwhite001]

So here's another one; William Hoot Gibson, Air and Space , An F-100 driver with the Thunderbirds!

You don't need to convince me, it's Alpha that you gotta get to buy in to it. ;)

I would love to see a 90mm class F-100 Super Sabre............it would be the fastest "add to cart" in history.
