RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

I bought a set of retracts from dreamworks.  Don't even want to say how much.  LOL!!!

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

I know what you mean, I have the Digitech ones and they cost more than the airframe. LOL

You will be glad you did, they just work.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

Several months later...I had to leave on a business trip and also my friend which is working on the Falcon. But I think the result is good! We have started to replace all eletronics and etc inside. By the way, thanks for all of you that posted pictures of the setup. It will be very helpful since is the first Jet I put together!

Have spectacular flights!

I have 2 of these falcon 120 jets. One is built with a super tiger 2300 in it with springair retracts and is a VERY FAST plane! The other I am going to set up with electric power. They do have flaps and are retract ready but come with fixed gear. GREAT PLANES FOR THE MONEY!!!

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

Very nice work.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

Why??? Half a gallon of nitro fuel would fly you for an hour or more. I'm sure it will fly much better if you keep it light.


But... to answer your question... yes... it should work.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

After some long time I finished my Falcon.
I had 1 flight with it today and everything went well.
I have the P120 on it and it like a rocket, I opend it only one time to see the unlimeted vertical, the rest of the flight was someting lower than half trotlle.
Next sunday I will make a video an post it on here.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

Be interesting to see if it stays together with all that power!

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

Yep... the 120 is nutz.

I have an AT-180... and I don't like to give it more than half throttle.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

It is fully reinforced,all necesary and some extra mods are done to it and its fiberglass all over, and its not my intention to do snaprolls at 200mph.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

If you want to stay simple and reliable I would recommend Spring Air 101HD's. Easy to set up with only one air line (air up, spring down), retracts come down if you loose air for some reason, and the retract package comes with everything you need (valves, tank, tubing, gear wires) except wheels and axles.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

thanks for the retracts tip! Ill have to go over at lunch time with my plane Tuesday[8D] (if they are open to the public)

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

Spring air have certainly changed since I last used them, they only had wire leg options last time I looked, but the 900F set look just the job for the Falcon/Tornado, well spotted that man.

It was laminating epoxy of some sort, mixed 5:1 by weight.
Sorry but I do not remember the brand, or even the supplier.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

how do you install the control horn on the inside of the flaps? (the back-plate)

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
 

Just make a indentation in the wood with a flat object to give it some clearance, or just press down on the flap at the horn position. If you hinge them properly i.e. close to the lower surface as possible then the clearance needed for the black plate and screw heads isnt much.
