Great ! Can't wait to see it. I did Miss Kitty Kitty. She flies so easy. You'll love her. Almost like a big trainer.
So so glad you could make it!

Totally agree, she's a very easy plane to fly! As I've said before, just watch your Flap/elevator mix. I have no mix with half flaps and a small amount with full. Fly it and try it. Sounds like Dave can help you in real time.
Let us know how the maiden goes!!

Today we presented our check for $4,100 to Buck Kern, Executive Director for Snowball Express. A few more families will be coming to Dallas for the big annual Snowball event in December.
Here's the nice note the Buck sent me:
" Dear Dave,
We are very grateful for your support. Your annual event is such a wonderful opportunity, both as a fundraiser and an opportunity for our local families to attend, have fun, and connect with other families, or even get help.
One of the families who attended this year was having some serious family challenges and being there enabled them to open up and ask for help. We were able to get them the help they needed.
So thank you for creating great these opportunities!
Buck "
We can't thank MotionRC enough for their generosity in enabling this fundraiser. Plus having RC Rock Stars Pilot Ryan and Captain Mike on the marquis really made this a memorable event.
We'll do it again next year !
Dave

I got my custom graphics in from Callie they were perfect. My granddaughter drew the nose art for me. The Snowball Xpress is to honor the event that the wonderful people at the 114th Aero Squadron put on. So I had to give it 114 designation to thank them.Attached FilesComment

Now all that's left to do is get the courage to do the maiden. It's such a beautiful plane I hate to take the chance on killing it but they are worthless if we don't fly em so first time I get good weather up she goes.Comment

The Tigercat is a great flying plane!!! You will have fun and love it... I couldn't believe how nice it flies..... Like a prop driven A-10!!! LOLComment

Wow FarmFlyer! That is an awesome tribute to an incredible cause. Thank you so much for honoring that day and that particular cause!
Take care of that beauty! And don't feel bad, you beat me even opening the box to my TigerCat. I've had it since spring time. But don't let me beat you to the maiden. :)Comment

Looks like it's gonna be a couple of weeks before the weather gives me a chance but first descent day I'm getting her up.Comment

Unbelievable!!!
The longer it sits, the more the fear builds up!!
And with the Tigercat, it such a tame bird is almost anticlimactic!
Then you'll be kicking yourself that you wasted all that time when you could have been flying her!
It's such a gentle plane that you have to act like its a handful to impress people!LOL
