Hi guys,
I have a question for the BVM Bobcat community.
My Son has a Bobcat with a P-70 - he is flying it at wide open throttle all the time, it just isn't fast enough for him (

We plan on moving up to a P-120SE - my question is, do we need to beef up the Bobcat in any way and if so what would you do?

You will experience over time when you fly WOT with a P120 that you will start to bend the wing tubes from high G turns. you will also notice the wing tube formers and support blocks breaking free from the fuse. I flew my BC with a super eagle for about 50 flights before it stalled on a landing from a flameout and the fuse was lost.
Also you will be limited to 4 min flights with a P120 when flown at full tilt for the entire flight.
