There are a couple of great build threads on rcscalebuilder. This is my second 1/5 Wildcat and they do fly well except when the mechanic fails

Status: offline 		Roy this is my second Wildcat. I had the Saito 450 in the first one and it did fine with a 2 blade APC 21x10. I expect no problems with this one. When I get a chance for the maiden I will have some one get a in air pic with my camera.
