"tomcat"
Quarter century ago as a RC helicopter enthusiast I was invited to attend and demonstrate some of my models at the Leeton Jet meet. Those good old days, everything in RC hobby was a novelty, and those noisy, castor oil smelly and inefficient internal combustion imitation models, resembling some famous jets impressed me immediately. The bug was set and it took few more years it germinated into an infection after seeing my favored model at the meet, the twin powered "F-14" Tomcat that lost the engine on final and destroyed itself into pulp after hitting the only tree in the vicinity of the airfield at the car park and the debris broke the windscreen of the models car owner parked under the huge gum. That's what I call a real bad luck!
Well, my infection developed into fully blown jet fever and my latest bug is getting hands on this foamy "Tomcat" I just pulled out of the box to see what I can do to it. Few pictures of my upgrades starting with larger ESCs, better oleos springs and so on.
