Wrench Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 i'd reccomend a different name, in keeping with Vought's tradition of 'pirate' type names... Quote

+KnightWolf45 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 lets make a Vote Privateer or Brigand? Quote
Stratos Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Privateer for me. BTW cool to hear we will see a navy version too! Quote
+KnightWolf45 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 got the hook done and working now on outher stuff like wing fold and front gear bits Quote
Spinners Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Only thing about 'Privateer' is that Consolidated used it so it would be about the same as McDonnell using 'Mustang' for the F4H-1. BTW I am aware that Brigand was used by Bristol for their little-known attack aircraft but that's on the other side of the pond. Quote
+KnightWolf45 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 i see if privateer was already use guess we got to go whit Brigand well hook wing fold done the gear will stay since it little space for changes....need to think it better Quote
C19341809 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 The legendary LVT contender for the project resulted in the F-16 ... Awesome ! Looking forword to this release！！！thankyou！！！ Quote
Derk Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Only thing about 'Privateer' is that Consolidated used it so it would be about the same as McDonnell using 'Mustang' for the F4H-1. BTW I am aware that Brigand was used by Bristol for their little-known attack aircraft but that's on the other side of the pond. The Privateer was a lumbering single tail Liberator lay-off used for maritime patrol, they shouldn't have used that name in the first place ........... 1 Quote
+KnightWolf45 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 swordsbukker or how ever you wright that? Quote
Stratos Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Amazing, hope spanish navy will get his first supersonic fighter soon! Quote
Wrench Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 and bristol brigands had a fairly short service life, while hte consoldated PB4Y-2 was still at work into the ealy 60s. I'd vote for Brigand Quote
Faust_ Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I'm doubtful about the USAF adopting a maritime-related name to a plane coming from a own funded program Quote
TeargasHorse Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 The Assault Recon Groundattack Hunter = ARGH aka "Scurvy Dog"? 1 Quote
