EA FIREBIRD XL
A legend is back in a BIG way!
What started off as a simple conversation a few years back with JMP (Jet Model Products) owner Tom Cook, eventually turned into going hard core in recreating his masterpiece of a sport jet. The Firebird was always known for its blistering speeds and performance. When Tom sent his drawings over we definitely agreed it needed to be big, light, strong, and most importantly fast. We definitely have to give a big thanks and kudos to Tom Cook for graciously allowing us to recreate and modernize the Firebird design. A sport jet like no other check out the all new big Firebird!
The new Firebird is much larger jet than the original version from JMP and has numerous enhanced features and flight characteristics.
While being insanely fast, it now has a vastly improved wing loading per area. This characteristic allows for the Firebird to fly at slower speeds effortlessly and allows it to land very easily. Stall testing resulted in easy, nose down attitude, and no wing over. Stall testing has been very impressive!
We went with conventional elevators vs the flying stab of its predecessor, and conventional plug in wing panels, plug in stabs and fin.
The kit comes with a full turbine bypass and inlets. The kit also has gear doors which keeps the airframe very clean. The doors come hinged and ready for servos. There are two bypass and pipe sizes available depending on your turbine size selection. Please specify at the time of order. The fully bypassed system has worked perfectly with zero heat issues. The tail is cool to the touch after each flight.
The fuel system on the Firebird comprises of 2 conformal saddle tanks and 1 main hopper tank for a total of 7L of fuel. A smoke tank is also available as an option.
The robust Electron ER50 landing gear set comes with the Smartbox so that you can program the sequencer for the 3 doors.
With over 100 flights on the prototype with a Kingtech K320, we are now ready for production! Any power choice from 210-320 will be exhilarating!
