Oh? What happened?
It became too windy & i could only fly upwind where the control surfaces had no effect & she flipped & went vertically into the ground from about 80ft 🙁 Going to try an EDF Hunter next with alot more power as the PZ stuff though nice cant handle anything more than a light breeze

Aww I hope you manage to find something suitable as it would be nice to see a video of its next flight! :cool::cool:

I don’t have a suitable video camera myself, but will try and find someone to video it.

Hopefully it wont be too long to wait for!
Are you going to video the next flight?:cool:

Cheers. The Tigercat is all repaired now, just awaiting new prop blades from the USA before we try again.

Wow you guys put in so much effort. Great stuff.
Nice to see the Tigercat has flown but sorry to hear about the engine problem and forced landing.

Decided to fly moose & after about 8 mins she dived into the ground 🙁
By: Black Knight - 19th June 2009 at 13:41
Moose is almost reading to take to the skies, struggling with getting the codes & serials as the forms of masking i’ve used come unstuck when the airbrush is on them & decal film i’ve found has been far too thin. Prob just get them done in vinyl by a livery company now.

WIP flown, but still WIP!
The Tigercat has now flown, although sudden loss of power in the starboard engine caused a forced landing with a little damage, so it’s back at my workshop for some repairs and modifications.
I’ve just started its own thread here – http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?p=1413565#post1413565

By: EGTC - 9th May 2009 at 23:31
Wow, impressive and expensive. 😀
By: Arabella-Cox - 3rd May 2009 at 21:54
Cheers. Final cost will probably be in the region of £14000.

Cor look at that, bit bigger than my 1/72 and 1/48 scale.
How much is the model costing for the final product?
Lovely work

Here’s my current work in progress for a customer. 1/5 scale Grumman Tigercat, powered by two Moki 150cc radials. It should be completed within the next month.

/most embarassing model thread.
I think thats more for me lol 😀
Im no geunius when it comes to models. Ive only just started airbrushing and compared to the britmodeler and UKAR standard is pretty poor but im learning.
Well if we get some good interest maybe we could venture into group builds??
cheers
