*_before you write a comment regarding the scale factor, please notice the following_*
*1)* we know, the A-6 has no afterburner
*2)* based on the weight limitation of 30 Kg, only one turbine is installed. the exhaust of the turbine is located in the center of the fuselage.
_if you still notice more details that do not match the original, please let us know._
First off, visually this is an excellent scale reproduction of an A6 Intruder. I noted there were some compromises made, probably due to weight, but given that, it's still quite good. A few things I noted that have been done different in comparison to an actual Intruder. First, the flaps in the RC model are too small length-wise. In the actual article, the flaps extend from the root out to the clamshell-style wingtip speed brakes. It also has leading edge slats, from wing root to wing tip. The horizontal stabilators (elevators) in the tail in the real article are all-moving slabs, not a conventional elevator as done with the RC version. That being said, your choice was an excellent one for flying characteristics as going to a slab stabilator would probably be too effective unless you restrict deflection to a very few degrees. Finally, while I can't tell if the RC uses ailerons, the real article does not. It uses spoilers on each wing, located just forward of the flaps, and are of the same width from wing root to speed brake as the flaps. The stabilators move differentially to create a roll moment and the spoilers are also used to make the aircraft roll.
During landing on ship, the pilots would leave the engines spooled up a bit (because it took 8 seconds to spool!) and use the speed brakes to control their speed. Those retract much faster than the engines can spool. For fun, you might want to experiment a little with having partially open speed brakes on landing, set the throtte to barely maintain level flight, and see if controlling landing speed is easier with the speed brakes than the engine.
I'm not an A6 driver, but my dad was. I have to say that I'm still amazed at how well this RC model flies and how good it looks!
Visually, for me the nose, cockpit area of the fuselage are off, then the tail section appears to slim when compared to the real A6.
Wheels and landing gear struts should be painted white for USN & USMC. Awesome model. EA-6B next?
RCScaleAirplanes Who cares it's a beautiful airplane
Very clever how the exhuast pipe is faired into the fuselage.
I was an A-6 mechanic. Watching this video brought back some pretty cool memories. I was impressed that you had working speed brakes on this RC. Great attention to detail. My old squadron was VA-205. The amount of ordinance this aircraft was capable to carry is nothing short of amazing. Thanks again.
bkrguy _Thank you for your kind comments. I'm very glad to know that you liked watching the video._
Have a nice day 😎
I was an A-6 mechanic for 8 years and I love that someone else is as fond of the aircraft as I am.
I,m with you,I was an A6 mechanic in VA-85.I will never forget them and always liked its design and functions.
Serviced A-6Es and EA-6Es at MCAS El Toro CA 1980-88

Any REAL veteran would know that.
@@KillerKev1961 you are the real deal. Thank you for your service!
VA-165 Boomers here
What an impressive build. Looks very real at those camera angles. and the details on everything is incredible. Pilot must have put lot of work into it. Flown beautifully too
alishanmao _Thank you for your kind comments, Ali._
Nice to see you here !!!
I spent 3 years in VA-34 with A-6E's. This model is the closest I've ever seen to the real thing! Of course there are the differences noted such as no after burner, but still an amazing model of the real A-6! My compliments to Mr. Chaperon for an outstanding build of a great A/C!
Incredible plane! One of my old favorites that the Navy used. Great job
There are models that stop the time ... and become classics .... A-6 Intruder is one of them.
Thanks a lot dear Horst !
Josip Vrandecic _You're right, Josip. This is a very rare Rc aircraft and I'm happy that I was able to do a video of it._
Thank you for your kind comments!
That's one of the most impressive RC demonstrations I've seen. The amount of precise detail on this model makes it difficult to tell that it's not full scale. Nice, smooth landing, too!
Great video, I was a hydraulic mechanic with VMA-224 in 1969, this brought back some fond memories
Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it !
That landing though, wow. Even more though, that model is brilliant, i find it hard to believe someone build that it is so detailed
Awesome! Amazing engine sound. We have come so far from the days of only having exposed propeller model engines.
In 1977 thru 1979 I was in Vma 533 at Cherry Point N.C. We shared a hanger with Vma 224. I was 25 then, I am 60 now and I wish I was there back now after seeing this video. I actually got to fly as an enlisted (back seat) twice, once in Fallon over the sierra's and Tahoe and once in Yuma at the bombing range. I can tell you this bird was very under rated, she was fast, she was maneuverable and she could carry everything you could load on her. Thank you taking me back.

Wow! The build is absolutely incredible and amazingly accurate! It was hard to believe it was RC. It was also flown brilliantly, especially considering the tight airspace.
Congratulations on a beautifully filmed, beautifully flown, and last but not least a wonderful effort to recreate the A6 for RC. I loved it. Clever engine installation idea. It works!
Just fun to see something that someone made. What a treat!
_Thank you for your kind comments._ 👍😉
Proper low-level, high speed passes! This guy knows how to fly a model jet for an audience! Spectacular!
As always, thanks so much for sharing.

stuff _Thank you for your kind comments, Steve. Much appreciated ! ! !_
Hands down one of the most detailed, realistic RCs out there. Just wow! 😂
Hiaruga *_Thank you for the compliments. Much appreciated._* 👍😎
wow! thought it was Real!!! such great detail & flying qualities!!!
me too at the beggining
Many people often say that the A6 intruder is ugly but in my eyes it's beautiful! It always has been and it always will be.
From 1987 to 1990, I worked on this jet as an Aviation Ordnance Technician. And I am VERY impressed with the authenticity and attention to detail this aircraft provides.
And by the way, how did you get the engines to sound so realistic? WELL DONE.
_Thank you for your kind comment, Andrew._
Since the mid 90s there are miniature jet engines for R/C models on the market. Please have a look at the video description and follow the link to JetCat and also to the picture gallery of how this model has been built.
Awesome build!! Beautifully flown and sooo delicately landed!! Brilliant stuff!! Thanks!! 👍😉
My God..... At the beginning of the video, I actually thought the plane was real! Awesome work!
Magnificent model, and beautiful angles Horst... loved the oleo on the nose wheel compress as it stopped in front of you, so realistic! Excellent work by all!
Fantastic build. I love this airplane to to scale it so perfectly is a huge credit to this man
This is a seriously impressive model and flight! The camera work is as we've come to expect from you Horst... РЭЯדּЄϽТ!
Thumbs up! 👍👍
Cheers, Bob
TripleThreatRC _Thank you very much for the compliments, my friend. I'm very glad that I was able to get this jewellery on video._
Have a nice weekend, Bob 👍👊
Well, you know.. that’s indeed one of the best flight movies captured by a fantastic performance of our cameraman Horst. Well done!
Markus Sieber _Thank you very much for the compliments, Markus. I'm glad to know that you liked the video!_
Cheers, Horst
Another beautiful scale aircraft. Congrats to the builder/pilot. If I slow the video down just a bit it becomes almost impossible to distinguish from the full scale. Thanks very much for another great video!
Simply outstanding in build and flight. Way to go Laurent Chaperon.
Totally sick! Love the speed brakes and opening canopy. Completely bad ass.
Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate. 👍🏼
After a long day at work, watching these videos is so relaxing. Thank you for sharing :-)
bird271828 _Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. I'm glad to know that you liked the video!_
I.... TRULY THOUGHT...that the thumbnail pic....was a full sized A6.
Crazy details, awesome build.
Beautiful RC model and authentic paint job, even the squadron logo is accurate. I served with VMA (AW)-224 from 1978-79 during the Wes-Pac tour, stationed at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan and NAS Cubi Point, Philippines. Great job!!
That is one of the lost stunning RC jets I’ve seen in a long time. Pilot 👩✈️ is smooth on the controls and plane is rock solid in the air.
Memories... Thank you and wow, what a wonderful job building AND flying it. Congrats all the way. Fly safe.
Great model, I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you.
Verygood piloting of the intruder. Plane is very stable and looks so solid and sturdy. Congrarts and God bless
_Thank you for the compliments. Much appreciated !_ ✌😉
That landing was awesome!!!! Love that plane.
Garry Kennedy _Thank you for your kind comments, Garry. Much appreciated !_
Superb model - flown beautifully!
Many thanks!
Thought that real at first. Stunning, very impressed!!
Thank you! 😊
I was a plane captian in the Marines. Excellent detail work. Semper Fi all jarheads!!!!!!!!
Nice build and flight. I don’t care if the original had afterburners the lights look awesome!!! Thanks for posting!!!
The way the pilot made the approach for flypast, reminded me of flight of the intruder and Them flying down SAM Alley.
Beautiful model, beautifully flown and filmed. "Devil five oh five, feet dry!" 😉
BRAVO !!!
Beautiful work and attention to detail.
What a beauty !!! With those mountains in the back... just the real thing !
Have to love an A6E and yours is beautiful. Congrats, excellent!
Impressive....liked the operational wing tip flaps. The visible heat haze from the jet exhaust is so much like the real deal. The only thing is the afterburner led ring which was maybe not needed or can be reduced in intensity.
Simply fantastic ...! Thanks so much for this beautiful video and looking forward for more updates on TH-cam soon . Regards.
_Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated !!!_ 😉👍
wow! that is a awesome model. congrats to the owner on a amazing build! those wings opening up wow!
Flipping awesome. Very well flown.
Just saw the slideshow of the build. WOW! You are a talented craftsman. Fantastic work and flight..
Ken Donnelly _Thank you for watching and commenting, Ken._

Horst is a beast with that camera! Great job....
The Angry Bass *_Thank you for the compliments!_*
Much appreciated 😉
The detail is amazing, the pilots look so real
That is an incredibly awesome plane…very well done!
I think he caught the 3 wire...that was AWESOME !!
That was so AWESOME and so mind blowing and so realistic .
As a child I always watched Flight of the intruder, this just brought back some good memories. One of the best I’ve seen yet.
Awesome plane...great job!!
WOW!! What a nice job. If it didn't say RC in the title I would have thought it was the real thing!!
That is a really great model! Thanx for sharing. I worked on the A6 in the USMC, and watching this fly brought back some good memories! Thanx
Great jet, looks terrific.
Thanks for the notice of scale. I was about to say, I have dived thousands of ducts on the Intruder and those are just too skinny to dive! They sure do have the jet exhaust pitch right, just a little lower but very close!
Beautiful bird, makes me nostalgic about shooting them off carriers!
Great model. Great videography.
I worked with the EA-6A, A-6B, KA-6D, and A-6E during the aircraft’s lifetime, and your model was great(given the identified limitations). You should do an EA-6B Prowler, which until last year was still deployed with the USMC. The series has a long and distinguished history, and your model only added pleasure to those of us who worked so intimately with all versions of the Intruder (and Prowler).
Man this is a beautiful made SCALED out model!! This guy did a FANTASTIC job on it. That landing was SWEET!!!! 👍🏼😃👍🏼 I’ve got to get my models out and get back to flying. Can you believe I haven’t flown the first RC since we got back Joe Nall. Crazy I know. Lol. I’ve been to busy working on restoring my full scale J-3 Cub. 😉👍🏼
Awesome. I was with Grumman Field Operations. Kudos on this build. Nice.
hogdog1953 _Thank you for your kind comments._
Nice job, very nice ground presentation, and your flying was beautiful.
Great build of a beautiful aircraft ! Very impressive.
All the comments about how beautiful this plane looks are true. But let's give a hand to the great camera work that made it so enjoyable to watch!!!
Enfin un VRAI pilote de jet RC qui sait comment vole un avion en grandeur nature !! Et sait le reproduire de manière très réaliste !! Et la verrière qui s'ouvre et se ferme à distance !... Génial !! BRAVO Laurent !!! Bientôt une ou plusieurs caméra(s) embarquée(s) sur ce modèle ?
This plane . . . really "No Comments". . . just "COMPLIMENTS". . . what a great model !
Amazing and beautiful build truley commendable.
What a beautiful aircraft, the detail is amazing.
WOW that looks amazing I'm blown away
beautiful scale model. awesome!!
Awesome aircraft, and a brilliant landing, very smooth.
Mike J F _Thank you for your kind comments! Much appreciated._
I've seen these birds upclose on the USS SARATOGA when I was in the Navy. That is an awesome build and excellent flying skills!!
This is cool. I was a Plane Captain in that squadron in '68 and '69. A-6As too.
Outstanding in every aspect.
_Thank you for the compliment !_
Excellent work and impressive display! Biggest respect. This plane is one legend and one piece of aviation history!
Nice job! Keep it up!
Greeting from Hungary!
This is awesome congrats on the build and flight. Big Thumbs Up..Tim
I remember that number(152941) as an old A6A when I was in VA-128 from 71-74
Great quality and videography at ground level. Good flying and impressive landing. Love the A6! I thought it was real until I read the title. Awesome video!
Wow! What a model!! I have lived very close (AZ1) to Oceana Master Jet Base in Va Beach for nearly 40 years, so we became more than familiar with these all weather attack jets through the 70' 80's and even through the 90's. Arguably the loudest twin engine bird I've ever heard in real life - louder than a F-18 Superhornet. Brings back memories seeing this video - my father's best friend was shot down in one over Vietnam. Only comment, maybe a better wind block on camera mic next windy day, otherwise, very well made video, as expected!
Looking forward to seeing more videos. Really like your stuff.
Wow, he kissed that touchdown. Wonderful aircraft and flight display ! I have an 80mm ducted fan version of the A-6. Love the Intruder ! 🍺
Beautiful job !
Outstanding, on all factors!!
Awesome model dude well done outstanding beautiful.
Excellent landing and outstanding flying, Furthermore you can't go wrong with a A6.
Welcome home ,a job well done . Thank you .
Nice work!!!
That is... Insane! Respect.
amazing detail. Ill overlook the afterburners :) awesome job with the camera!
This is so cool. I love these planes.
Great plane, great build, good video. Good job 👍 👍 👍 👍
Tom 0815 *_Thank you for the compliments, Tom._*
Awesome aircraft and video. I used to work on the A-6 as an Aviation Ordnance Chief Petty Officer. Great build and flying. No afterburner on an A-6 though.
I like your video very much. It's really great. I'll keep an eye on your channel. I am your fan and I will support you.
_Thank you very much !!!_
I loved the movie: "Flight of the Intruder"...
The Angry Bass _Thanks for watching and commenting._
Bravo she flies so beautifully.
Impressive! Very impressive!
Impressive landing. Well done.
