During the week prior and during Veterans Day, Alpha allowed Evelyn and I to babysit/enjoy his Tigercat at our home. I can report that his Tiger was well-behaved, lots of fun, and a joy to have in our home. ;) :)
As you all have seen thus far, this model is a work of art and in the preview video, I used a bunch of adjectives to describe the maiden flight experience. When you see it up close, you'll truly appreciated the level of detail and time invested in getting this plane right. As the old saying goes, if it looks right it will fly right......well, the FlightlineRC F7F-3 is the "BEST" twin powered RC warbird I have ever flown. :)
I can tell you that the FlightlineRC/Motion RC Team invest a lot of time and energy in getting these incredible models right for all of us. Working directly with the original aircraft manufacturer is the key, which they do. More importantly, by taking these important steps, the Flightline/Motion RC Team honor the men and women who built, flew, maintained and supported these iconic aircraft. Kudos once again for your outstanding efforts team. :)

Excellent video, Tony, thanks for sharing! Your video shows just how slowly the Tigercat can be flown while under full control. I love the butte in the background, too! Clean filming by Evelyn, as always. I know it was an early morning that day but thanks for capturing a video. More to come this weekend ;)
For those watching, Tony is flying the aircraft on my radio, using the instruction manual's recommended CG and settings. The elevator down mix as recommended in the manual gives rock solid handling in the transition to flaps.
In certain ways, I liken this bird's handling most closely to the Carbon Z T-28: The definition of "Relaxing".Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

What a joy it was to find out there is going to be an RC model of 7F7 Tigercat! I was introduced to the Tigercat when it was added to the American tree in the War Thunder flight simulator about 2 years ago. It has since become my favorite twin engine prop plane I have flown in War Thunder with the ME 410 a 2nd favorite. It is a very versatile plane able carry out fighter and ground attack roles. Given my experience with this plane it should make for a great powerful RC plane.
I urge every RC pilot to check out War Thunder. It is a great way to become more familiar with all these great warbirds. The game can be downloaded for free for PC, PS4, OS X and Linux.We take a look at the Grumman F7F-1 Tigercat, both in history and in the game of War Thunder.
