Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Hi all I have been reading these comments re the Nitro Bobcat ,

I would like to add that I have had over 30 flights with the the Bobcat and apart from replacing the undercarriage wires due to quality I am very pleased with the model .
It sits level on the ground ,take off is almost hands off on a grass strip with a small bump from the nose wheel when airspeed Is reached , climb out Is smooth with no real Input required, quickly reaching a very high climb out rate

landings are nose high touching down on the rear wheels then settling onto the nose wheel as it should .. there are no real Issues taking Into account that It Is a pusher model with common sense being applied re the set up

engine Is an OS 50 Heli using an 11*6 prop but I do feel that 11*7 would be an Improvement,
CG is where the Instructions suggested .
Position of the U/C is reversed as it should be closer to the CG,

Muffler is a standed OS muffler with mods made as per page 22 In the Instruction manual,
It will be one that that I will keep in my stable and looks cool in the air ,
comments are that it needs retracts to look even better which I agree and I know others are getting one after seeing mine perform
Cheers G
