Flightline RC Tigercat F7F

[dkalwishky]

Despite the heat and humidity I got six flights on the FLRC Tigercat. This is a sweet flying plane!

Got home from Nefi and finally broke down and replaced the starboard nacelle on La Patrona. Wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be, took about six hours, painting included. One thing was that it was a lot easier to install the upgraded motors, I could hold the nacelle vertically and drill the new holes for the motor mount much easier not to mention getting the screws in the correct holes as well. As a tip, if you want to line up screw holes, three tooth picks will hold the motor mount in place while you thread the screw down the fourth hole. The only tricky part is threading the ESC cable back into the fuse. My wings are so sealed with paint that they were NOT coming off!!
So, with a bit of finagling, I got it by removing the control board and utilizing the time honored method of asking the wife with the small hands to grab it and pull it through :Cool::Cool:.
Done and she looks great. Two coats of grey, six coats of pearl and four coats of clear later, back to her old beautiful self, just in time to go to Riverton on the 7th

DK.......Actually the full size didn't have counter rotating props.

I agree, It had two R2800 P&W engines that both rotated clockwise, as seen from the cockpit looking forward. But the P-38 model is correct, both rotating away from the nose, again as looking from the cockpit

Wow! Very cool, you mean Hobbytown is good for something? LOL

[PlaneDoc]

Before trying to rewire my Tigercat with differant connectors, HobbyTown gave me a new harness. I installed it yesterday and test flew this morning.LOLI'm happy now. Everything is working normal.

There ya go!

[fhhuber]

you wouldn't know how to get Loctite off of screws would you?

soak in acetone overnight, then wipe off with a rag and let dry for about 10 to 20 min.

[Gilatrout]

When securing screws in plastic, I use canopy glue if I think it needs it.
