Default Giant Bob Cat by Bradford

I built this Bob Cat many years back, it's just a "fun" airplane, with very good "one engine" flight manners. It has a 97" wing span and uses two O.S. .91 Surpass for power. The original plans had the fuel tank boxes and motor mounts basic "boxes" and on a recent rebuild of the wing I decided to add a little more detail with the nacells and cowls. A mishap (pilot error) caused some damage on the wing so I decided to completely rebuild it from scratch. I changed the entire color scheme and added Monokote graphics of our daughter-in-law's medical practice. The Bob Cat is very aerobatic and very stable, just a fun flier. I also machined some pneumatic brakes and aluminum wheels for it. The wing is one piece but just fits into the back of my station wagon.
