Hi,
I'd like to introduce the AeroCat high performance pusher jet by Model Aero . From its elegant and striking design, to its mind blowing performance, the AeroCat raises the bar for flat foam RC aircraft. Depending on power choice, the AeroCat is capable of speeds approaching 70 mph with unlimited vertical, yet it flys equally well at low to moderate speeds.
The AeroCat represents the cutting edge of flat foam airplane kits. The fit and finish are second to none, and the pre-printed graphics are simply awesome!
Designed by Model Aero, the kit is precisely CNC machined out of 6 mm Depron by Nikitis Aircraft. All parts are tabbed and notched to assure a quick and accurate build. Carbon fiber wing, fuse, and tailfin spars, pushrod material, motor mount, full color printed graphics, and color instruction manual are included. The kit is designed for high RPM inrunner or outrunner brushless motors. In stock at www.ModelAero.com There's a video link of the plane on the homepage.
Wingspan–32" Length–31" AUW–7-15 oz. Speed Range–45-70 MPH Price-$49.95

Just got my AeroCat kit today. Looks great, the quality of the kit and assembly manual are top notch. Looks like it will go together quick. Has anyone else picked up one of these? I will be using a Himax 2816-1220 motor. Would like to here what some of you other guys are using. Looks like a lot of fun. Will let you know how it flys in a few days.

The Mega 16-15-3 will work, but it is the absolute maximum I would recommend for the AeroCat. I'm running a Warp 4 (4 turn), which is very similar to a Mega 16-15-4. The 3 turn will be faster, and you may see some flutter at high speeds. Be very careful.
It wouldn't hurt to add a little more carbon fiber to beef things up if you plan to run the 16-15-3.
I JUST ORDERED MY AEROCAT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. I AM ALSO ORDERING THE WARP 4 (4 TURN). WHAT ABOUT THE WARP 4 (3 TURN) WOULD IT BE FASTER? ONE LAST QUESTION. ON THE WARP YOUR RUNNING WHAT PROP ARE YOU USING.

BLWJ The 3 turn would be faster, but it is pushing the limit of what the airframe can handle. I would recommend additional carbon reinforcement if you went with a 3 turn.
I'm running an APC 6/5.5 E prop on my 4 turn with a Thunder Power 2100 3 cell.
Good luck with the kit and let us know how she flies.

Hi Mark,
Your setup would definitiely fly the Aerocat fine, but it wouldn't be as fast as some other setups. That's because the Hacker is 924Kv (RPM/V). Ideally, we would want a higher kv rating spinning a smaller prop. Your battery sounds ideal.
As far as props go, I'd try an APC 7/5 E or a 7/6 or maybe even a 7/7. Just put the prop on backwards and run the motor backwards. That will work fine.
Since I've never tried the Hacker, I can't say for sure what the performance would be.
I'd be happy to trade you an Aerocat for a Composite-ARF Eurosport
