Ryan BQM-34 Firebee Drones. Where to find some?

I really don't know enough about any of them and the way I'm reading it is that one version was Continental powered and the other could be powered by either a Fairchild or Continental.  I'm just guessing here though because I've never heard of a Fairchild engine.

I think what Rob de Bie is trying to point out is that the type which used just a Continental engine has a smaller air intake (judging by the photos on the left side) but the engine housing is too deep, and that it has a similar problem with the type which used the Fairchild or Continental, but had a larger air intake.

I confess I don't know a lot about the older models myself. For instance I didn't know about the dual engine capability. A brief search yields the following:

The Continental engine is the J69: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teledyne_CAE_J69

The Fairchild is the J44: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_J44

The wikipedia entries on both are pretty spartan.
