F-14 Tomcat R/C Rocket glider
I designed and built a new F-14 based rocket glider yesterday, finishing the paiting and panel lines today, making it a bit lighter and using BT-60 instead of BT-80 tubing/cone and sealing up the bottom and the intakes to make a more 3-d model. It's still only 9.3 ounces rtf with E-6 motor, 19" wingspan and 28.25" long. I'm just waiting for the tail and nose markings to finish it.
My Tomcat model will have the tail markings of a "Bombcat" My cat "Tommy" is also a "Bombcat" since he likes to do late night Bomb runs in our bathtub and leave a nice steaming 500 pound penetrator, sometimes dumping fuel as well, then put in afterburner go literally "feet wet" and egress the bathroom at full speed and head back to the boat. He looks so innocent. Reminds me of the Phantom ****ter from Flight of the Intruder. Somehow I feel GH will especially appreciate this Last edited by burkefj : 01-27-2024 at 07:56 PM. |

I REALLY liked the Phantom ****tor in Flight of The Intruder.
I seem to remember him adding a "urea" product to coffee pots as well.

Great looking Tomcat, Frank !!
I also remember in "The Flight of the Intruder" where the "Phantom $h***or" took a DUMP in an Ashtray ! That ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY ROCKED !!!!!! Almost as good as Ozzy's dropping a Deuce in the ELEVATOR !!!!

Speaking of elevators,
A man and a woman were on an elevator. The man whispers in the woman?s ear, Can I smell your butt? The woman shot back angrily, Absolutely NOT! The man said to her, Then it must be your breath.
