Default RE: Giant Scale Twins F7F Tigercat

Update:

Got two more flawless flights on the Tigercat last weekend.

I'm moving to OKlahoma next month, and my recent participation in the "Warbirds Over Oklahoma" event was an excuse to get my models safely transported to my new home territory without having to worry about "movers" mishandling my airplanes.

Unfortunately, the event was sullied by bad weather nearly all weekend long, but towards the end of the last day, several us managed to put on some excellent flights with our "giants."

Here's some video captured by Stan Pritcher, one of several great members of of the Oklahoma Sooner Squadron (OKSS):

In addition, and much to everyone's surprise, there'll be TWO of these Giant Scale Twin F7f Tigercats flying in Oklahoma now! What are the odds that another OKSS member, Ray Atkinson, also owns and operates one of these bad-boys?!?!? Ray's is built much lighter than mine and is more than adequately powered by two G62's. His flight video is here:

Going to be an incredible sight (and awesome sounds) when we get them up in the air together!! (not sure about formation flying yet, hah ha)

Stay tuned!
