Hi Rocketman. You have inspired me to get back onto my Tiger Cat. My last post #533 way back in Feb 2012 shows what I was doing with the flaps. I have advanced from that point but have allowed...

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

Brad, I ordered the struts from Tower Hobbies. They were ROBO Straight RoboStrut 1/2". Part Number ROBQ1950. These have a higher resistance to sideways deflection than the ASM units. As I have...

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

Hi Brad. I just used the actual struts and adapted them where necessary to fit the ASM mechanism. I will try to delve back into my records to see if I can find the part numbers.

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

Hi Guys. I'm still here following the thread although I still have not got around to finishing Tiger Cat #3.

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

Good luck with the new Tigercat Brad. I haven't had a chance to touch mine since my last post. Other things on my plate. Also the recent untimely death of a very close cousin has put things into...

Thanks guys. Just the encouragement needed to push on. Bad luck with the your plane Staggerflyer. Guess we are none of us immune from lack of motive power.;) Best of luck with your build Brad. ...

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

Hi Guys. Still here and currently (slowly) putting together Tigercat #3. #2 went in because of an undetected probable engine outage and a turn procedure into the dead engine. The aircraft was some...

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

Hi RickAvery. There have been a few suggestions on this thread as to how to tame the steering cables. If I may 'push my own barrow' I would suggest you use plastic tubes as outlined in my Post #426...

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

OK, time to out myself. :) Despite the known shortcomings of the ASM Tigercat, I could not resist the temptation to buy one of the last remaining kits in Australia at $275. It will be in storage...

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

Staggerflyer, that's an interesting result you got with the speed gun. You have previously stated that you get 9921rpm from your Rimfires with the 14x9x3 props. Carousel43 has suggested that speed...

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat

My 'To each his own' comment was directed to mods to the classic Tigercat design. It has occurred to me that it could have been interpreted as a response to Brad's post. I simply replied to the...

Well, I have completed the covering of the complete wing and reinstalled all the gear. Am waiting for some larger tanks before I balance. As expected the weight...

Glassing the whole center section sounds like a good idea to me, Brad. Here is something to consider with your rebuild which ever way you go. I was faced with the dilemma of trying to remove the...

RE: ASM F-7F Tigercat
