Specs are:

Rossi .45 w/ semi-tuned muffler turning a 9.5x7.5 APC prop.
Plane weighs a little less than 5 lbs dry.
Fixed gear.

Flies close to 100 MPH. Not real fast... but still a nice looker.

Status: offline 		I should have some pictures back by the end of the week on the big Cermark F-20. Its about 3/4 done. I stripped the red all off and recovered in Charcoal with a complete white underside. I am running a Jett .90 in it. Looks good so far.
*It came with sidewinder missles. Thin is the missles are more like sticks. So----I went to the Estes Rocket Display and found some stuff that will make nice looking sidewinders. Later Guys

Status: offline 		OK, Taildragger....err Cyclic, I've admired your .40 DC F-20 for months now, and am awaiting your report on your 60 size Cermark F-20 with the Jett .90 in the nose.

My set up is running like a scalded dog!! The Jett .90 gets better with every run!!

Status: offline 		Any of you with the TigerShark... how do they fly as compared to the Kougar?

That's the only one I've flown thats anywhere "close" in appearance.
Just curious...
is it just a nice bank & yank plane, or will it do aerobatics as well as Kougar?
(snaps/tumbles/etc...)

Status: offline 		I never flew the Cougar....and I don't know about acrobatics on these little babies.....their mainly just fun speed /sport planes.
I certainly wouldn't try to snap mine...it's goin' too fast. And their not gonna tumble....they fly like pattern planes....on rails.

Razor......want a tip ? Start buying.....the Cermark .40 size has been out of production for a couple years now, and the .60 size is out of production now. The remaining stock...is it !!!

The DC .40 size is still available.....but you know how that goes.
Look at the Patriot...everyone still wants one. ( I have a Patriot kit in the pile, as well as another .60 size Cermark ).

Get 'em while the gettin's good....if you don't put it up, you can always sell it.... :
