      • Hey Guys,

        Here's the flight video of my tigercat! :) My full assembly and flight review video and article will get posted next week. I'm wrapping up the editing on the video and article post still. For those who will be setting theirs up this coming week, here are my control settings. I set up triple rates and set the recommendations in the manual as the high rates. I found them a bit hotter than I liked for my style of flying and so reduced the rates to my mid rate setting on elevator and the low rate setting on the aileron which are the following. Also, my CG is at about 70mm as measured from the wing root leading edge aft. This is just a little forward of the 73mm that's in the manual.

        Elevator - 11/16" with 15% expo
        Aileron - 5/8" with 10% expo
        Rudder - 1-1/8" with 25% expo (expo is to tone down the nose steering since they're tied together)
        Flaps - 7/8" mid flap, 1-3/4" full flap with 10% down elevator mix (equates to 3/16" at full flap)

                    Pete, My Tigercat shipped today as well. Expected delivery is next Monday. Now waiting for strut upgrade to be in stock.
                    Robart tires and Callie Graphics are here and ready. I also want to get the Mobius Mini cam for those close formation flights

                      I know this was answered on RCG, but might as well post it here too. They are from the FMS 1400mm Corsair V2. He's using the rockets from it as well.

                      EDIT - They are from the 1400mm, not the 1700mm as I originally posted.

                        • PAT....I think Force RC has the tanks and rockets.

                            • I thought they were from the V2, looks the same as V3 with mounts

                              • You're correct :)

                                I also trimmed down the attached pylon and used the attachment clips from the Freewing F-15 ordnance

                                  • Awesome looking scheme Woody! That would look great with a bunch of ordnance slung under the wings!

                                        • Frustrating! Shipped last week with a little extra for expedited shipping and original shipping notice said "Monday". Now all I'm reading is "delayed in transit". Lesson learned, don't bother with paying more for expedited shipping with USPS. Useless government employees where aptitude and performance are not required to keep your job or promotion.
