Safe travels back west. Sadly, I'm unavailable those days.

Perhaps on your way back east!

Hi Mark,

I used HiTec 7955 titanium geared servos (333 oz/in @6V) on all surfaces. Each elevator half has its own servo, as does each section of flap. Aside from those I used ultra precision nylon...

I just looked again at that video, Steve! Your shots from behind during take-off are a bit upsetting! (6:15 mark of the video). I never knew how totally out of control that beast is on take off!!!

Hahaha!

Nice work, Steve. I thought maybe that footage was lost. I actually prefer your "dubbed" twin radial sound, as opposed to the 222cc's of whiney 2-stroke sound!

Thanks for sharing!

Jeff, what's happening up there? Hope you're well.

Mark, you should have sent me a note. I could have given you a tour of my shop (i.e. introduce you to the Tigercat). Maybe on your way back to KY...

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat

No &%#*, Larry!!!!

The old blue-head, OS .40 LA looks like it might be just enough for the Kellogg Avenger!

The C-ARF are impressive up close and personal... I'd never seen one in person....

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat

turned out OK, I suppose.

It's amazing how huge those C-ARF Corsairs are... the Avenger and the P-51 are 108" and 102", respectively. They look tiny next to Bill's Corsair.

Hi, Fred!

Despite the "grainy" reproduced photos, it's clear those were two fine Tigercats you built! A master builder then and now, you are!

RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat
