Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

I had a rossi in mine and it flew ok. I was using a 10x6 pusher. I mounted a Jett 90lx and the problem there is the selection of high pitched props...or lack of. I have two of these kits. I ended toasting the sleeve in the Jett. What a bonehead.....
However, i decided to mount the motor in the nose. i am almost done. I was going to use a rev. crankshaft, but I was having cooling problems with this setup so i decided to mount engine in the nose.

I will be running a apc 10x10 and it suppose to turn at 16,000. It should make it haul butt pretty good. I know it's not as nice looking as the pusher setup...but I just can't risk burning another sleeve.

I will keep you guys posted on how it turns out and flys.

I will tell you that when I put the 90 on as a pusher, I had a 5 cell batt. up in the nose and only had to add 2oz to get it to bal. at 10".

Remeber when you set this bird up that you will want a slight nose high attitude. This way it will be easy to rotate on takeoff.


hope this helps.
