Freewing A6 Intruder

[Evan D]

Awesome! KA6D... Nose number is wrong but that is minor. Add the refueler under the tail...

Looks good, Phantom! Draggy but pretty when all loaded up!

I have some high obstacles to clear in final where I fly at so the more drag the better, atleast on the maiden. :Cool: I slapped everything I could on my 80mm A-10's maiden and she still carried too much speed, I had to do two go arounds on her maiden. Now I just fly her on the rails. Ya just have to learn how a plane lands first, at my field before you feel the speed. Because touchdown location is everything for a successful flight.

About to maiden mine this weekend, grabbed an extra set of tanks since they no longer carry the bomb option. So I've turned mine into a tanker! Gonna see if the extra belly tank will look ok on my 80mm A-10.

If it's an actual Lemon or Admiral brand receiver they work great but I bought some "Lemon" bare bones receivers on eBay and they were bad about brown outs and almost lost a couple of planes so I trashed them. I'm not only using the Admiral branded Lemon receivers and have not had a single issue with them.

I ordered the Admiral DSMP/6-channel with Stabilizer Plus with Diversity Ant. right after your input. Motion must have been overhearing our conversion LOL 2 day after my A-6 arrived so did the receiver. Going to build the jet sometime this week. will let ya know how it handles during maiden. Thanks again TiredironGRB. Happy flying Mike aka Goose.

Happy Day for the Goose:Cool:

Great flying jet and one of the best sounding ones out there, just tame the elevator down some and you'll do great.

Ok my A-6 arrives tomorrow. I'll be running an Lemon Rx DSMX 7 channel + stabilizer with Lemon DSMX Satellite. I have used that 7 channel with stabilizer on a couple of my larger planes and have had brown outs so after crashing my FMS 1400mm BF-109 was able to fix her with light damage got lucky on belly landing same with my FMS 1450mm Red Tail Mustang. so I been watching other pilots use them only on Jets and no problems. So any other Ideas have a Spektrum DX8 thanks Mike aka Goose :Confused:

Brown outs on the Lemon...........interesting. Could be just a case of a Rx going bad or if the DX8 is a gen1 unit, that was known to have signal issues.

Ya guys thanks I wasn't sure if the Admiral 6s 4500mAh would fit in the A-6 I bought the 6s Admiral pro 4000 60c thanks for the advice on battery size. Goose.

[Ron1950]

sounds good now I have a battery excluesivly for the a6 seems it doesent fit in some other planes

[OV10]

haven't tried the new admiral 4500 or 5000 that are way too long for most of my jets unless I move the esc etc bring back the short fatties pls

Fatties won't allow the canopy to close unless you put it through the chop shop. The 4500 fits fine.
MRC moved away from the short fatties because of this fit issue on a lot of the airframes.
No short fatties for me ;)LOL

ALWAYS wanted one of these myself Mike! A good looking and great flying jet for sure. Looking forward to seeing yours in the air here locally.

Thank you sir looking forward to the build with Justan he builds real nice jets and so do you I hear.I dig the Intruder sooooooooooo cool going to take out the pilots I don't care for them. I have some FMS pilots that look the part one is getting his helmet painted in Vietnam Tiger Stripe. Yes Flight of the Intruder is one of my Fav. Movies Thanks again, Mike aka Goose:Cool: I will let you know when her maiden is. Heck if you would like to fly her I would feel honored. You, Justin, or Josh are the only ones I'll let fly her.and me too yes.
