      Mines almost finished, complete with transporter. I think I'm ordering a second canopy to do Brandon's mod.

          Your name should be attached to a lot of the great mods you have out there

          Maybe name your canopy mod Brandon's " Moon Roof "

                    Don't forget ... for those of you planning on attending the AMA West Expo this weekend, MotionRC and Model Aviation Magazine will be giving away a NIB F7F Tigercat! As I understand it, it will be given away Saturday towards the end of the day. I will be there, with my production bird on display somewhere in or near the AMA booth.

                      Hey Grossman56,

                      The carrier is 24"L x 19"w x 21"H. The total envelope with the plane is 55"L x 28"w x 27"H.
                      I need it just to get this bird in my SUV. It's also handy for assembly at the field and cycling the retracts.

                        You bet Bob, I'd like to get this plane and three others to Nefi this year, assuming I've go this one by then and the stands are the way to go.

                          Progress on my "Firecat" conversion. Still have a ways to go with the paint details and "other" mods.

                                      Finally maidened mine today. Like most have said, flies great, and looks great. Put three flights on it. Have a pair of HP 4s 4500 that I used for last flight. Flew for 6 min at mostly half to full throttle. Had about 50 percent battery left. Picture is after first flight with props barely turning. Early AM really makes the lights stand out.
