    Status: offline     		Here's what I’ve done for the elevator. It's a fairly simple way to go. You'll notice the servo lead is coming out the bottom of the elevator but will be inside the boom and run down to the wing then into the fuse. The servo sticks’ out the bottom of the elevator about 1/4 inch but will be covered with a plastic faring and painted white just like the real Bobcat when larger servos were installed in the elevator. These fairings are available from DreamWorks. The Servo is a GWS MICRO 2 BB METAL GEAR SERVO it's rated at 75oz in Torque.
    I'm continually impressed with the construction of this acft.

    Status: offline     		great pictures booker.

    Question for the guys thinking of using a pusher prop set-up. Does anyone make a pusher prop with a high pitch, and I'm guessing that your probally limited to a 10in diameter prop. I'm looking on the tower website and I'm only seeing the highest pitch prop being a 10x8 pusher, seems like if I guy wanted to run somthing bigger than a .46 or .50 then you would need a higher pitched prop.

    Status: offline     		I have looked on every prop maker's web pages and we are stuck with the 10-8 as the highest pusher pitch prop for the 60s or the 90s and that is what really stopped me from getting an airplane, hard to find a suitable prop for the 60, 90 size engines

    Status: offline     		Hey the Bobcat 50 is available in the UK, the Chinese manufacturer pointed me to the UK supplier.

    It's an absolute bargain at £185 + £10 shipping a total of $351 (at an exchange rate of $1.8 to the UK pound )

    http://s147682260.websitehome.co.uk/default.htm


    Nitroplanes wont ship internationally and Raidentech quoted me shipping then cancelled my order and said "unable to ship oversize item to international"

    Now trying to find a shop in HK that will ship to me!

    Status: offline     		We must have got a pretty good deal on them here then. The box is not really very large, so don't think it would be oversize. I have a yellow and blue one and just need to figure out which will be the easiest to see. It will get a turbine, and the other a glow engine. Bob

    Galen



    My plan was to use a Hitec HS-125MG or HS-5125MG thin wing servo both metal gears but the 5125 is digital and 49 oz/in a@ 6.0V. http://www.hobbyhorse.com/hitec_hs5125mg.shtml

    But having two HS-225BB instock providing 65 oz/in I elected to use what I had on hand. Also I would not have to drill through the tail boom to feed the servo leed. servo pockets were about 1/16" short on length.

    Radio is a Futaba 9CA, I will mix elevator to an Aux channel to handle reversing and centering and end point issues. No I did not split the elevator like the BVM's jets.

    Rudders very thick I plan to counterbore pockets and used a post type horn.

    ONE MINOR PROBLEM: The right wing was not assembled correctly. The layers of wood were not placed right. The servo pocket was tight and the hole for the landing gear is off center. Well I trimmed the wing skin to get the gear in place the bent the gear (axel) back to give it 1-2 degress of toe in. The left wing gear needs to be tweaked on the toe in.

    Still build quality is better than expected.
