The Cougar is ready.....however, I need opinions on the pipe. The pipe was round when it was installed, now its all warped after three seperate taxi/range tests. There were no hot starts. The fuselage stayed fairly cool around the pipe and turbine areas during and after taxi tests. Do you think I should fly, or should I follow my gut instinct and order a new pipe? This is my first scale jet and weathering job. It was fun assembling this model.
