The XP-67 Moonbat plans are available on this web site - www.cmsmithplans.com Not intending to knock the deceased Mr.Bale, but you would surely have difficulty in building from his rendition of the Moonbat. - The plans show half sections. Full sections are required to build this. - Profile symetry of the fuse formers might not blend correctly to the top surface skinning. - The forward nose is totally not to scale. Generating more of a pointy "duck bill" with a side "flaire chine" effect rather than a full rounded fuselage. Considering the era and technology available, they are still generally quite good though. 06/04/2008 @ 09:28 [ref: 21110] |
| Ollie M. , CA | To Mike Emilio or anyone else with R/C plans:
I am very interested in the plans. Especially if they are the Jack Bale plans (he has a good reputation and passed away when I was trying to order the plans -- the family chose not to pursue continuing the business). Please e-mail me at "TempestV@hotmail.com". Thanks! 03/10/2008 @ 21:54 [ref: 19954] |
| Robert Swatosh Penn, PA | I think that Kelly Johnson used this plane for his design
for the SR-71 Blackbird. There is a model of it at 1/72 in. But good founding it. It is a cool looking plane. I would like to make a real one and fly it. 11/16/2007 @ 08:45 [ref: 18561] |
| mike , NY | i'm interested in obtaining any drawings,plans,manuals,vintage photos or information
on the x-p67. Not model airplane plans, but the real thing. 11/01/2007 @ 06:00 [ref: 18366] |
| Karl Teays Valley, WV | I believe in the late 70's (or early 80's )the mag.wings or airpower had an article with photos.(do they have archive files? ) 11/10/2005 @ 09:45 [ref: 11661] |
| jhusted plattekill, NY | Custom Planes magazine, april 1999 issue, volume2,no2,page36, has an articl titled "Engine History",byGeorge Genevro about continentalIV-1430 engine and the xp-67 moonbat. 10/05/2005 @ 18:55 [ref: 11410] |
| Mike Emilio Toronto, ON | I have complete drawings if anyone is interested in building a radio controlled model of the XP-67 Moonbat. Wingspan is 70". 2 drawing sheets, 3' x 9' each. I have a jpeg snap shot of what the drawings look like to email out. 08/09/2005 @ 10:43 [ref: 10952] |
| Walt Witherspoon Lancaster, CA | I found my copy of the accident report. Test pilot Everett Elliot was on a flight out of Lambert Field on 6 Sep 44. At 10,000 ft. the right engine failed and caught fire. Elliot declared an emergency and made a crosswind landing with flames coming from the right nacelle and wheel well on touchdown. Elliot abandoned the burning plane on the runway and the wind pushed the fire across the fuselage and onto the tail. In the end the fuselage was burned almost in half. The damage was too severe to repair and the test program ended. 08/30/2004 @ 17:05 [ref: 8184] |
| J. Steel Seattle Wash, WA | Disabled Vet here. Is there any Gov. resource like in the old days. That will send or give you a free real picture of American Aircraft like the XP-67
It's a same one of the modeling companys doesn't do this out standing looking aircraft. Under powered or not , it still would make a great selling kit. As it satnds short of being rich and haveing 150.00 dollars for a garuge resin kit your out of luck. Great images. James Steel 08/26/2004 @ 19:56 [ref: 8163] |
| Walt Witherspoon Lancaster, CA | I'm puzzled by the mention of a crash at Muroc in Sep 43. I've done quite a bit of research into accidents at Muroc/Edwards and the XP-67 appears nowhere in media or official records. Only one XP-67 was completed. It suffered a serious engine fire on a test flight out of Lambert field in St. Louis. The pilot made an emergency landing at Lambert and it never flew again. I have the accident report. 08/23/2004 @ 03:19 [ref: 8121] |
