I built a Bobcat, the .40 sized TigerTail, covered it in dope and silkspan and then some lite coats of Superpoxy. I installed Goldberg retracts, an OS .25FSR with one of the first Mac pipes for .25 sized engines and used KPS 12 servos for an all up weight of 3.5 lbs. What a sweet flying airplane that would honk on the pipe! I got it into a flat spin one day and couldn't get it out. It was spinning so fast, so I lowered the gear and it landed in some tall grass- no damage! I have witnesses! Boy, would I love to get another Bobcat! Southern R/C made some really great aircraft. Anybody remember the Alley Cat? It was the best trainer that I ever saw and it was a low wing aircraft! I could roll mine inverted, trim in a touch of down trim and fly hands off inverted!
