FTFC'25 WWII Fisher P-75 Eagle designed by Firestar119

[Firestar119]

While looking through Wikipedia's list of experimental WWII aircraft, I came across the P-75 of which only 14 were built.

(From Wikipedia) "The Fisher P-75 Eagle is an American fighter aircraft designed by the Fisher Body Division of General Motors. Development started in September 1942 in response to United States Army Air Forces requirement for a fighter possessing an extremely high rate of climb, using the most powerful liquid-cooled engine then available, the Allison V-3420. "

The design is still in progress, and the planned powerplant is the C Pack or an equivalent motor. Hopefully it will be able to hit 100mph when I'm done with it.

That looks great, it looks like you've been pretty busy!

I saw the last P-75A while I was at the Air Force Museum over the summer and got to thinking about R/C versions, but I didn't do much with it, so I'll be sure to watch and see what you come up with. Good luck in the challenge!

The first flying prototype is nearing completion
The C-pack might just have too much power for the size of this plane (around 30 in wingspan)

Sounds like it will be a rocket

The first prototype is complete, albeit with questionable build quality
I'm about to go test it today

The plane flies pretty nicely, but the battery decided to cut power right as I was pulling out of a turn, removing the nose as it landed" in the tall grass.
Time for a new battery.
