I visited the Easytiger warehouse to pick up a Grumman Panther I ordered, which is nice, going to be for a P20, it's small, and I saw the demo model for their new Cougar, and I ordered one on the spot. They say they will be shipping later this month. I wanted to buy the demo model on the spot and take it home, he would not sell it. In my experience, sometimes things get delayed with ETM, but they have always come through for me before. He did say it might be delayed a few weeks, but they are in production now. For $895, to me, it's a steal. The wingspan is 64 inches. I picked it up, it was very light, but it did not have a turbine in it, but EDF.
I picked up the new Golden Tiger fan for it too. It's like jewelry, beautiful and light. I did not get the motor and ESC yet, I may go turbine with the Cougar or I may go EDF, I have never done a big EDF before, but the video sounds great and performs great. Curtis said he will be flying it again out at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn soon, I hope to see it fly in person and try to take a video, but here is the video on Youtube:

My pictures are from a cel phone, sorry if they are not great.
Every time I have ever posted anything nice about Easytiger Models, I get bashed by some people, oh well so be it. But I am a happy customer, and I have had nothing but good service and great planes from him, and I think he is one of the funniest and most knowledgeable modellers I have ever met, so I will give props to Curtis, please talk about the airplane and don't bash if you can.
Also here is a picture of his demo model of the Panther, not mine. I also tried to buy the built demo model, but no luck! I paid $269 cash for my Panther kit, it is very nice up close, mine will be with a P20 turbine. According to them, some people have bought it for turbine use, but as far as they know, none have been flown for turbine yet, but it has only been out a month. There looked to be many hundreds of them in the warehouse. I am not starting mine just yet, I would rather wait for the Cougar and do that first, but I did order up some mini digital servos from JR, and a set of Eflight retracts for it.

I saw the site and love the Cougar and Panther. I own the RCLander versions and love they way they fly. I want to purchase both, does the panther come with flaps? post the pics when u build.

Yes the panther has flaps. I have one on the way to the UK to put a P20 in and hopefully it should be here very soon

Both of them have split flaps. I do not actually have the Cougar yet, I just saw the test model up close and ordered one for delivery later this month. The Panther I do have in my shop, I have not started it yet, just took out the parts and looked at them, very very nice. Mine will be turbine power, I will be changing out the plastic horns, which are probably fine for EDF, for metal ones. Have to finish a different plane before starting on this one.

Do you have a link for the RC Lander Cougar? Thanks

I've purchased from two website and have great experiences.<font color="#009933"> www.parkrcmodels.comand www.fanjetsusa.com both are good sites prices are reasonable and shipping are immediate. for the RC Lander jets and parts Park models have larger selection. Good luck</font>

I just got notice that my Cougar is here, I am going to the Easytiger warehouse to pick it up. They have a sale going on, I may pick up another warbird, too. Who else got a Cougar?

I have not had much time to keep up with the latest jet model offerings in recent months but I have to say this Cougar is interesting to me. It's pretty large for a Cougar! It must have a massive amount of wing area and would probably be perfect for an unused P-60 or MW-54 I imagine for those not inclined to use a 110 or 120mm fan.

Could you post a little more about some of the details of the Cougar? Fuse length, wing area, etc? Just thinking roughly, the fuse has to be at least 72 inches or so based on basic dimensions unless the wing is really over sized... Comparing this one to the JHH Cougar at a 47" wing it's clearly larger but is not quite as scale looking at least in the few photos I can see. With some scale looking gear and gear doors, a little bling with the paint scheme and a cockpit/pilot it might well go a lot farther in the sport scale category.

Very interesting. Please post a lot more with your build.

I have not started on the Cougar yet. Have not taken everything out of the box yet, it will be had to get back in. Looks nice, though. It is lighter and cheaper than the regular stuff like Skymaster, the wings are sheeted and covered, not full composite. I got all the dimensions to have a tailpipe made, Easytiger does not make the tailpipe for it. Up close, the plane is bigger than it seems, a 64" swept wing Cougar is like a Ziroli sized Panther.
I am working on the Little Easytiger Panther, putting in Eflight electric retracts now, will be done soon. Good deal for the money on that one.
I also saw their new F16, same size as the old Cermark one, almost a clone, but different enough to not be exactly the same. The test model was not finished yet, but looked promising.
Who else got a Cougar?
