I flew my Kougar for many years, sold it when I was desperate for money, then bought it back years later and continued to wear it out until some idiot stupid-thumbed it into a corn field. I found another NIB kit at a swap meet years ago and will get to it someday. The Kougar was the first plane I started experimenting with center of gravity mods to improve performance. I would sneak the CG back about an 1/8 or so then go and fly it for a month then sneak back some more. I hit that sweet spot eventually when I was able to hang the nose in the air on some slow landings that would make a Kadet Sr. look like it landed hot. Great plane and a quick build. Mine had a Fox 50 then one of the very last of the Fox 45s with the TNII carb in it before the corn ate it.
