Very nice job on the repaint and a very fitting name for it.

[Mad Baron]

Thank you. Cant wait to see it in the air again which might be a while our weather here is cold and wet:Rainning:.

Very nice MB, it was a good decision to rebuild.

[Pauly]

Here are the pics on the repaint. Its not authentic to any particular unit, just wanted to make it mine. I think it came out pretty nice. I have named this Tcat "Phoenix" since it rose from the ashes.

That looks really Good Baron

[Hardway]

Congrats!! Looks cool! :Cool::Cool::Cool: Happy for you.

Nice work MB! We all told you it'd be worth the rebuild! She's a keeper! :Cool:

Looks Great! Nice job on the panel lines! Aren't you concerned with gatoring ?

[theoldALFER]

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!!!

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

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

[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.

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]

Mad Baron,
Thank you!
(or as we say here in beautiful SW Florida, “Mucho grassyass.”)

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

[Woodcock]

DUMB QUESTION TIME:
I forgot...which motor does the reverse prop go on? Left (Port) or Right (Starboard)?

Thanks!
