Does anyone know where in the U.S. you can buy the Richmodel Keecat??




A word of caution on richmodel....I bought a Quicke and long-ez from them. The Quicke has a RH and LH wheel pants. The ARF I received has TWO LH wheel pants for SIX months now I have been waiting for a RH wheel pant !!@!! Several Emails have gone unanswered.

Status: offline 		Now back on track...

I planned to use my JETT 60 LX FIRE... and route the JDE. muffler into the fuse by opening up the hole for the fuel lines. Looks like I will have to lower the engine by cutting the mounts down and carving clearance in the fuse for the crankcase.

After opening the box I found:

8 SERVOS has been a big question and the answer is:
2 Aileron Standard size servo
2 Elevator Mini servo note one servo will need reversing
2 Rudder Mini servo
1 Throttle Standard
1 Steering-nose wheel Standard size servo

Aileron servo pockets are about 16 mm too long for a standard servo, width is correct!
Rudder and elevator servos mount into the tail booms. Horz. stab fits into pockets in each boom ( I hope I got a right and left side). Then held in place with a screw on each side. Directions suggest to glue the wing panel to the fuse. BTW the instruction manual is the non-lingual type.

The airframe weight is about 4 pounds on a bathroom scale. ( NO: ENGINE OR RADIO)
Fuse is rather heavy in the glass work. Formers glued in 100%. Servo tray is doubled for the mounting screws to get a good bite into.

More to come as I dig a little deeper into this bird.

i think the mounting rails of the servos will be recessed so only the arm will protrude above the surface. if that's the case then added length will have recessed rails under then.

Thanks, I almost edited my post when I looked at it later the 55 is a tough servo but I could not imagine putting it in this.

Guys, I am in the middle of coverting mine to electric. Does anyone think it will be ok to use just one servo on the elevator. Its only got 1 controll serface. Well I think I'm going to give it a shot. By the way does spinning a 9 X 6 at 30,000 sound about right for this bird . I should have it ready for the next revvers meet in Oct.
