Not too bad at all :Cool:

Did you see that take off where it acted like it was not going to get off the ground? It never dawned on me to use take off flaps. Just not use to flying on a day where there was not even a puff of wind lol

[rifleman_btx]

Oh yeah I was thinking man that was a loooooong rollout

[Grossman56]

The speed factor may be because of our altitude, 5000 feet. She's a great pattern plane and will roll and perform sloppy loops with the stock system. The new motors give her a bunch more power and she does what I would expect her to do. At Muncie she was amazing. I thought you were just going for a drive there Ben!LOL
Those T/O flaps make a big difference!

/emote "starts checking under couch cushions for loose change and lost money"
In all seriousness, am I too new to be trying to fly it?
I fly my E-Flite F4F Wildcat 1.0m and P47D Razorback 1.2m very good unless there is an electronics failure or mechanical failure.

If you can fly those planes well, the tigercat is very easy to transition to it's a bit faster, but it can fly slower too with its wider wing. Much more forgiving than the P38 to me an excellent way to get into twin motors.

Me too! All of you are great!

There are some planes that just fly incredibly, straight out of the box, the two in the top of my list are the Tigercat, my first tike gear and twin engine airplane, and the Bearcat. Both Flightline RC and both rock!! My fleet will never be without these two in the Hangar!!

Life finally slowed down enough for me to get in the maiden and 3 more consecutive flights on the Tigercat today! What an awesome plane! I have to give a shout out to OV10 and Tirediron for the info on the landing gear upgrade (OV10 for the nose gear set up, works perfect! and George for the tip on the FL Spitfire mains, Awesome!:Cool: I would also like to thank Rifelman and OV10 for the instruction and pictures for the parallel harness.:Cool: It gives me real peace of mind knowing each motor isn't relying on a single battery.:Whew: Thank you Gentleman for all the help and Thank You Motion RC for Quality products and Awesome Customer Service! The people on the Squawk are the greatest! You guys ROCK! Saving my pennies for the new releases. Hoping for the OV10 Bronco!:ov10:) Again Thank You All, Dave

[rifleman_btx]

You're most welcome Dave and I too want/need (desperately) an OV-10.

[OV10]

Chipset.........The Tigercat is very much at home from turf as long as your not weed whacking tall grass with the props

[Mad Baron]

Should be able to order the Tigercat this week although I am having second thoughts on it.

You won't be sorry... Get the upgraded gear if you can... It is a sweetheart!

May we ask as to why you are having second thoughts on the Tigercat? :Thinking:
