Status: offline 		I just finished test flying my G and P sales F7F Tigercat. I used 2 os 46 FX engines and high end JR servos. along with 12/24 lb. pound rated Robart retracts. I must say that I thought the kit was about a 6 on the quality scale that the plane is on a 10 scale for flight . This rocket is the best plane I have ever flown. It is very fast, handles like a BMW and looks like a barbie doll going past. Long sleek lines with 2 big lets say engine nacelles. This plane is a keeper for me. If there are any modelers wanting this kit go ahead get it your thumbs will thank you later.

Status: offline 		Greg, Their aren't too many Tigercat fliers around...sounds like you've got one sweet looking/flying 'cat. How would you rate the GP kit? I have the video of Bill 'glassing the wings. Also, the sheet of plans that came with the early kits.
Having built everything but a twin. My sweet wife gave me a JR Customs F7F kit for Xmas. Back when they first advertised in MAN-1998. It looked beautiful in the ad. Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a kit. Fiberglass fuse, nacelles, and foam wing cores. No plans and six pages of type written "instructions". I'm using that term loosely. I bought a set of Palmer plans which saved what little hair I had'nt pulled out. Finally, two years and then some, my "little project" is finished. Or so I thought.....
To spare you the details. It still graces the ceiling of my shop. As for flight status: HANGER QUEEN. I'm still chasing fuel feed bugs. Some day maybe. It's gotta' fly. BruceW
