- The Freewing A6 Intruder is an awesome jet! 80mm edf is perfect size for this plane, and the high performance model has great scale speed.
I do have a set of Nerf Howler whistles installed to add to the turbine sound.
Commentary excerpts are from the Sea Wings show on Discovery channel, and music is Ozzy Osborn- Crazy Train.
Flying is taking place in Atwater, CA - at Merced County Radio Control Club
That the best weathering job I've seen on a model.👍
I appreciate that, thank you! 🙏
I really try to make these look like the real thing, only being cleaned by sea spray and wind haha
Very nice looking A-6! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful weathering .. looks very scale 😎
Thanks, much appreciated! I do love scale everything in rc haha, whether it’s planes, cars, rock crawlers etc
Very nice weathering
Awesome video! Beautiful weathering very scale!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Very nice weathering dude👍👍👍
Thank you! I love to weather my rc airplanes :)

Thank you so much!
Very nicely finished! :)
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Cheers!
Great video. The A6 Intruder is a awesome plane. Nice work on the weathering 👍⚡⚡✌ps. Ozzy rules 🤟
Thanks! Ozzy and A6 are a good combo haha.
Cheers!
Back in the mid to late 80's I was a jet engine mechanic who worked on A-6E aircraft at whidbey island, Washington. This would be a great r/c for me to have. 👍⚓️🇺🇲
Oh sweet! I bet you have good stories to tell about that plane, and those engines! I have to admit, this RC plane is one of my favorites!
@@patrickcarnahan5493 those j52 engines, actually the A-6 was considered not very dependable even with 2 engines, in the fleet it was considered if you lost 1 engine you were a yard dart with ejection seats, lol, but I tell you what very dependable when you took good care of them, all weather medium attacked. aircraft. Loved working on these jets from vietnam.
@@ronringwald5120 Man I could only imagine the strain those engines must have had to carrier launch with a full payload of ordnance and fuel. I bet you and your crew kept those engines in tip top shape though! Thank you for your service dude!
@@patrickcarnahan5493 my honor sir, those engines were always in top notch running, any problems then we yank the motor out & put in a good one, then engine taken out is sent to another department for rework.
Sick paint work!
Thank you! This plane’s finished look is one of my favorite in the hanger.
@@patrickcarnahan5493 Nice... do you have a video outlining how you did it?
@@publicname515 Actually I dont have a video , but I learned from watching a YT channel called The RC Geek, who has some really good videos about RC plan weathering techniques. :)
@@patrickcarnahan5493 Cool.. I'm going to try something similar on my Mig-21. Thanks for the inspiration!
@@publicname515 sweet, I’m sure it will come out good!
Any tips for doing your weathering?
where did you instal the nerf howler whistles, it sounds awesome!
Thanks! The whistles are installed right at the exit of the exhaust and I drilled into the fuselage then glued them in. There was another TH-cam video of someone who had a detailed walkthrough on putting them in, which I followed. However since this install, I now actually install all my whistles right behind the edf unit inside the thrust tube. This plane was my first time with them, and I was instantly hooked haha
You can actually see the little bump of the whistles at 2:44 in the video. Unfortunately the still images and weathering in my garage was done prior to the whistle install, so those parts of the video don’t actually show them.
Beautiful plane! I own one too, what battery do you run? Flight times? Thank you in advance
Thanks man! Much appreciated! I am running a 6s 4000mah battery from HRB, ordered through Amazon. I have my timer set for 3 mins of flight time, not including the taxi to and from the runway. :)
@@patrickcarnahan5493 also you inspired me to also paint the flaps! Nice scale flight and thank you for the battery info. I see 4000 is the biggest we can fit
@@brandofasho44 Welcome dude! I hope the flaps turned out well! Also, I saw you have videos of Sonoma Drift, that’s pretty awesome. I actually went to spectate once, I want to say back in like 2011 or 12 or something. It’s pretty awesome. I always loved drifting. I had a 350z for about 8 years and took it up to Thunder Drift at thunder hill about two times haha
@@patrickcarnahan5493 yea I haven’t driven since last year but I plan to go hopefully before winter jam. Yup the 350z is a solid platform to drift in. Are you still in CA?
Is there any chance you could redo this video without having Ozzy, block the noise of the plane. Thanks in advance for your cooperation in this manner.:)
Paint the inside of those tailpipes flat black as far into them as you can see.Also that triangular (sort of)shaped area just behind the exhaust is stainless steel on the real aircraft.
Nice!
Thanks! 🙏
Excellent work.
However, Way too fast landing dude. I am sure it could go a lot slower.
Thanks! 🙏
Yep! It can land a lot slower, and I have been really finding my groove on slowing my landings down with all my jets. On my other A6 videos that are taken with on board video, I’ve been able to crawl in with a few of them, but it’s harder to see since it’s basically fpv.
Cheers!
Slow that baby down on landing. You are landing extremely hot. It will fly, and land a whole lot slower.
This is true, I have had slower and better landings, but not on camera unfortunately. I thinks some of my other videos with the camera under the wing have slower landings. You are correct though. It does look beautiful with a a bit less speed and grease the runway
