Oops! MotionRC.

What’s up with Motion RC tech support.

Called them today asking if Lemon Stab+ would work in the F7F because I was having trouble setting it up. He said it would not work and I would have to buy their Admiral receiver.

Well I kept working with the Lemon and got it working. All functions work properly and the BIG DEAL is its mode switching works in all 3 modes on 3 way switch on my DX9.

THE ADMIRAL CAN ONLY RECOGNIZE 2 MODES. PERIOD!!!

Admiral RC has a great reputation BUT———————.

Amy one need help? Happy to help.

This is the Lemon+ receiver guiding me.

[feathercut]

I’ve searched. But——.
Everything working on my F7F but the retracts. Using a Lemon stabilizer +. Set it up by the book!
Maybe travel adjustments? Sometimes it will cycle once if I reverse the “servo”. My DX9 monitor shows switch A giving full travel.
So close. HELP!

Gatoring?
I just ordered graphics from Callie....hope they are not an issue
Got them for the Invader also....but that is an Oracoat finish on a built up frame....not painted foam.
Like Alfer...I am in Florida. Flying is generally done by 11am

Roger that & thanks.

Many moons ago I wanted to fly the Mohawk...or even the Bou, but those guys in Blue took all the fixed wing fun away from us OD folks and left us with the Huey. As they were falling out of the sky at an alarming rate due to some guy called Charley I opted to just visit beautiful SE Asia as an 02 in the Army Corp of Engineers. “I love the smell of asphalt in the morning.”

Anyway, enough of my ramblings...time to finish up the Cat.

Thank you for your service to our wonderful country Bro!!! Bravo!! :Cool::Cool:

I looked thru my book that I have and there is no clear pics of the nomenclature.

[theoldALFER]

Mad Baron,
Thank you!

I might have a book at home that might show were the decals are placed. After I get home from work I'll see if my book shows any info.

[theoldALFER]

I just got the nomenclature sheet for the Tigercat from Callie graphics. Does anyone know where one might find out where the nomenclature should be placed - for example: fuel filler, oil filler, jack point, etc. Otherwise I guess I’ll just have to use the SWAG method.

Try the prop mod before you change motors. I did the zip tie mod on mine and it picked up the peformance a lot

You cant do the zip tie mod on those props, it has no spinner backplates

When the weather decides to cooperate I will try to get some in flight pics

DPD,
No, for two reasons:
First the navy blue is almost as dark as the black finish and I have not had a problem with my previous TCat gatoring. Possibly because prior to applying the paint, I applied a two coats of clear flat Minwax which is fairly reflective and might possibly keep it from gatoring.
Secondly, i usually fly between sun up and 10:30am with the “early birds” at our club field so the sun is not at that time a major factor. I also use the shade to my advantage when “parking” the aircraft on the “tarmac.”

Thanks for your concern, I’ll keep the gator problem on my mind as I fly this bird - especially here in Sunny Southwest Florida.
Also thanks for your comment on the finish. Dug out my old airbrush and gave it a try. I suppose I am thinking this might be practice for the birdcage corsair I am planning to get.
Keep ’em flying!!!
