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)

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.
