Great job on the T bird scheme. I have a Kougar with a .46 AX I think it's the fastest glow plane I have. I think it's also the heaviest .40 size plane.
It is tough. Built like a tank

I built one and finished it in silver for a more jet like appearance and it was the biggest mistake ever. After 60-70 yards it would almost disappear into the background like it had Romulan cloaking device.
This spring I bought a roll of Safety orange from a table at Toledo for $12.00. I tore off all the old covering and re-covered it in white with safety orange on the wings ,tail and cowl in style of a military trainer. Now when I fly it I can actually see it past 80-90 yards.
Mine is powered by a Scorpion 3026-10 and 4S. I don't fly it with a 5S anymore as my comfort zone gets too low.

I just finished my Kougar. It is a Kougar Mark III, It is based off the Sig Kougar Mark II, 3D printed, Electric, Hatch, plug-in wings and retracts. I will paint it up after it flies today.

Amazing job! How long did it take to print?

Nice work! Looks like you solved the issue with the original Kougar design where the nose area forward of the wing LE isn't long enough to fit a suitable nose retract (unless you cut into the wing LE for wheel clearance). How much does it weigh?

It is about a 200 hour print. It weight 7.16 lbs flight weight. By doing the plug in wings, I was able to save weight and free up some space in the nose for the nosewheel retract. The space is tight, All I can fit in the nose is a 5s 4000mah battery. It is powered with a 4250 800kv powered 60 amp ESC and 11X8 prop. I am getting 950 watts of power and pulling 50 amps.
