Guys,

I put 4 more flights on my Bobcat with SpringAir retracts this weekend. I don't know how this thing flys stock, but with the retracts, it is really neat! I don't know what the top speed is, and I really don't care too much - its fast enough. It takes off easily with just a bit of backpressure (the retracts are probably 2"+ ahead of the stock location), flys and tracks straight, doesn't have any really nasty slowspeed habits (although it will drop a wing sometimes in a stall, but it stays controllable with aileron), and actually lands quite well. I bounced it on the first two landings, but after I figured out how to get it slow enough, that's not really a problem anymore.

Its a really fun plane to fly and makes a great jet trainer for my son Louie!
