    Status: offline     		Got mine a week ago and think it is a great model for the money. One issue is the canopy was cracked. Emailed the Nitro Models people and got a quick response to ship it back (hopefully just the canopy and not the whole airplane). Not sure if they know what the part is (no part numbers for replacement parts) as most manufacturers would ship one for replacement @ no charge (I make this comment because of earlier post where these guys are not airplane people but importers).

    My biggest concern is shipping it back to a company that is just an importer such as this and never getting a canopy (i would rather have the cracked one then none at all).
    Does anyone have experience with them as far as ordering spar parts?

    Point is, unwrap the parts and inspect for damage, it may take awhile to get replacements, and as with alot of arfs canopies are usually brittle and crack easily.

    Thanks
    Bill

    p.s. Thier electric powered Predator B UAV is a very nice product for the money and is something a little different like the Bobcat

    Status: offline     		PST I am just using two 16oz Dubro's tanks. Just plumb them together. You won't have to cut the bulkheads and it's a lot cheaper.

    Has anyone mounted the turbine yet? I would like to see how you did it. I was just going to use a couple of blocks but there may be a better way.

    What about a latch for the canopy. Has anyone done that yet?

    What about a header tank ?
    Need one ? or is there a special clunk that can be used?
    I also would like to see a turbine mounted up on the jet.

    Please keep us posted and pics on your retract install. Seems like a better way if the wheels fit in. I'm going to go that route when mine comes in. You still have your F4?
    Thanks

    Status: offline     		Are there any pictures or info of the KeeCat by Rich-Model. The links to their site don't work. Just want to see which one i like better since it looks I will have to wait for either one right now.

    I think an even better retract unit would be one that the strut retracts up away from the air cylinder. It appears it would be a better fit. I'm goint to pull one out of my SeaWind and give it a try. If it's better, I'll either rob them from the Seawind or see if I can find some for sale.
    Yes I do still have the F-4 but it's retired and hanging on the wall of the garage.

    What about a P-60 on one of these? I think it would work. It would be fast!!

    Where can you get it in a week? I see everywhere is sold out and they jacked the price up to $170.

    Thats the site I was referring to for the KeeCat. Only the home page works, nothing else.
