Do you know that the Skyrocket prototype blew away the Corsair in performance trials? (The Corsair was faster) But the navy rejected it and went with the Wildcat. Interesting story here.

cheers for the comment Re my maiden of my F7F- i always said i would get all 4 ww2 era "grumman cats". Im probably going to sell my Wildcat and my Bearcat somewhere along the line, as ive achieved that goal and i only have so much hangar space. I have thought about all of the Grumman "Jets" but im not 100% sure i can get all of them as EPO models...i haven't even looked into it but off the top of my head there is the panther, cougar, tomcat, A6 intruder...what else?? I dont like the amount of work the tomcat appears to need to have done to it either to make it the plane it shoulda been out of the box.

So as many might remember I lost almost my whole fleet to that garage inferno July 2018.
One on my prizes lost was the FL Tigercat that I modded into the -2D drone controller and was the only one (actually had the operator and not just paint) in the country.
Later that fall I was fortunate to be able to acquire a NIB FMS LaPatrona Tigercat for less money than the FL.
So this past Sept I (finally got the garage rebuilt and could play again) was able to maiden it at TwowingTJ's Warbird event.
So I had to have the only -2D drone controller again (and because it is a Navy bird) so here it is ready for 2020 flying.
The silver base of LaPatrona was a fabulous base to paint over and the perk will be if any of the blue/gold scuffs/flakes off it will expose the metallic base just like a real one.

I have just put my LaPatrona together, ready to set up receiver and control surface throws. My FL tigercat has elevator mix in with the flaps. Does the FMS require any elevator mix with the flaps as the manual does not indicate any is required?
Many Thanks
