Hi Ian:
Do you know anything about this ?

http://www.chiefaircraft.com/rcmsec/.../Tigercat.html


Richard---------- Thank you very much

Dave



ORIGINAL: Idigbo

A bit more info for those awaiting the next warbird.

The prototype arrived with me yesterday, for a dry run and a good root inside to check the structure for any problems. This is the first in the line of fully composite airframes manufactured by ESM in China. It was designed in the UK and is aiming to take scale ARTF's up yet another notch. The best step up in my view is the use of fully shrouded scale hinging, the accuracy of fit is stunning.
Due to lack of time, this one is being passed over to Kinverflyer (Martin) for assembly and flight testing, but the kit came to me first as he is away on holiday for two weeks, but I thought I'd start the ball rolling in the same way we did with the other three, Hurricane, Spitfire and the Spitfire. Hang on though, Martin is away for another two weeks yet, maybe I could get it done before he gets back!!!!

Unfortunately not[]

If I struggle with the pics, maybe one of you kind chaps could steal the pics from the forum on my side of the pond?!!

Ian.
ALL the YT boys know about this, we have the protype, with a glass fuzz, BUT with a built up wing, but the production ones will be glass composite wings, detailed, painted, and decalled in the mold, we do have a video, but you will have to go on the r/c flyers forum to see it, model is simply a *****cat, we flew it on 2Xrcv 91 four strokes, and it was simply superb, must admit, 2 of those rather natty little zenoah 20s look tempting!! kits are due in the UK at about christmas we have now completed the flight testing of it, contact KMP, or your dealer, for updates

Hi Everyone,

For those on this side of the pond we just confirmed and expect to see the first batch just before the Holiday season. (Fingers crossed as usual)

Andrew and Alan
I would be helpful if you guys made announcements together, especially since this forum is global. Will the YT accesories be offered in the USA. Having bought the last 3 warbirds from Andrew at KMP there is no doubt the are the best on the Market.
Can we put our names on the list for the Tyhoon, Andrew? Also do you guys have a ballpark figure for cost? A range would be fine. I think we are all grown up enough here to know any price you give will be an estimate.
Great work
Thanks

HI Everyone,

Here are three pictures I just took while in China of the completed Typhoon. The prices here in the States will be as follows,

1) Fixed Gear - $549.95
2) With Air Retracts, Oleo Struts, Metal hubed (rubber) Wheels, - $649.95
3) Retract Combo Set - retracts, oleo stuts, metal hubbed wheels, - $199.95

As you can see its a much better deal to buy the set complete with the AIR retract combo.

Hi Again:

We are now carrying a line of 1/6 busts for our British, German and American warbirds. Naturally they are a nice fit in our KMP family of warbirds. Each bust is individually hand painted and an accurate representation of a fighter pilot from that era. The cost for each piece is $19.95

Cheers,
Andrew

Hey Andrew,

Are you goin to bring some of these to the WRAM Show this year?.. Im sure me and my dad(who already has your B25) will be taking one home from you!!!

Will there be available interior kits and such for it. I would like to try to get a scale exhaust to come out of the cowl in the scale location. That would be cool!!

Thanks,
Frank Gelatka

Hey guys

The Tiffy is now available here in Australia through ModelFlight.........retails for $650AUD with retracts, the LHS had one for $635.......a very nice looking model.........a shame it is not in the 85" - 90" range.

I believe they will be in very short supply so get in quick !

cheers

The engine is a Zenoha 23 up graded to a Zenoha 26 with electronic ignition, no more than 3/4 throttle has been used even for the take off's, weight 15lb 4oz, with 1lb 4oz lead up front. Short video of the second flight with the dead stick landing.
