Official FlightLine RC 1600mm F7F-3 Tigercat Thread

Does anybody know or have heard if there is nomenclature included with the FL Tigercat kit decals? I checked Callie and did not see any for the F7F
The FL P-38 had a whole sheet

Hey Eddie, Callie Graphics can get those, I go them for my P51's from her, she's the BEST!!

She does great work, just got my "Bad Kitty" decals for the Tigrecat last Friday. Can't wait to get them on the plane.

What are the dimensions on the nano-techs? How do you like them?

Yeah even if there's more juice in a battery, I tend to land my planes after five minutes, maybe six tops, so I can go fly something else. Tony and I were talking about that yesterday. It's hard to bring just one plane to the airfield, and they all want some piloting love throughout the day!

I'll take some dimensions of the nano's when I get home. I like the packs, they work great. I've been using a set of 6000s in my mirage for some time and they perform on par with my much more expensive set of NeuEnergy 6200s.

I'll check with her. I'm going with " King of the Cats" so I can get the side by side photos next the full scale. I'll email her about the maintenance decals too,
Thanks DK

Just saw a neat video on the other forum. This video is Greg Hildebrandt's "La Patrona" nose cone pinup painting on a Tigercat, seemed appropriate for this thread. :)

You know what would be awesome? I'll tell ya, I just got a notification that the prop for the Freewing AT6 I bought is now back in stock. It would be awesome if there were Tigercats with the spare prop. :)

Of course my luck is you guys found the prop on the floor behind something and put it on the shelf and updated inventory to show one in stock.

I'd say they got a container that had props in it. I got email notices yesterday for F8F and Ta-152 props. But alas, no F7F shipping notice. Hopefully by next week though!

[dkalwishky]

Containers are really big! :) I'm holding out hope that there are Tigercats in them.

A guy can dream, right? :)

Awesome video, wonder if Callie can make a decal like that....

Shoot. Rather than put that on a plane I want it framed and hanging on the wall.

[Grossman56]

I was just noticing that the Preorder of the F7F is sold out!
Congrats to all of the guys who purchased this awesome airplane, can't wait to hear what you think of it and to see what you do with it from mods to paint schemes.
From everything I've read (and I'm sure you have too!) this plane sets to bar a lot higher.
I remember having a Monogram model kit of the Tigercat when I was younger and thinking how cool an airplane it was and, of course, wishing it was bigger!!!
I hope to get one at some point in the future, but in the mean time, I'll get great satisfaction hearing all about it from you guys!! Not to mention seeing more than one at NEFI!!!

Again congrats to you and the guys and gals at Motion R/C. Tom, Mark, Alpha and all of you,great job on bringing the community another amazing FlightLine Airplane.

Would this be a fun ride or what?

She already has the Patrona listed on her F7F page along with 5 others.

[Grossman56]

Duh, I shoulda looked!!
Cool nose art though and awesome to see it actually painted, imagine, it took 8 days to paint, great job.

By the big smile on her face, I think she's going to love every minute of it!!!

You guys ever think about shooting a making of a foam warbird video? Would be cool to the product come to life from inception to delivery.

[Alpha]

Great news, everyone, the first shipment of Tigercats has cleared US Customs in California, and barring any issues along the tracks we anticipate delivery by rail of our containers in about a week. Time to get ready!

For those of us waiting for the second shipment estimated to arrive in about six weeks, we have decided that in response to the high demand by many people, we will be opening a pre-order for the second shipment very soon. Likely within the week as well, so stay tuned!

[TiredIronGRB]

Awesome sause!!!

That's great news! Mine is my present from my wife. We have always had at least one gift that we know for sure what it is. So if it gets here before Christmas, my plan is to secretly open the box, remove the contents, put about 7 lbs of dead weight back in the box, wrap the box back up, and then build the plane! She will never know, at least that's what I'm hoping happens. :)

Yeah, I can hear it now...."Honey, the picture on the box looks just like that new plane in your shop..."
