Default TOP CAT 1ST FLIGT

First flight for my TopCat. Just a whole lot of fun. Powered by a Jetcat P-80 radio JR 8103. The elevator servo had blown gears at preflight...I was lucky to have my Whiplash in the truck and barrowed a DS-8417 from it!!!

Way to go! What were you using for an elevator servo? I split mine and put an 8411 on each half, way overkill but there is nothing wrong with that!

Here is mine on a SLOW fly by!

there was a DS-8231 in it seened a little "notchy" on the bench...an early warning sign. bought the air frame used and servo was good then but a bump in the truck may have taken out the gears. The P-80's ECU upraded from 4.0 to 4.9T and no problems with idle-low speed flameouts.
