Default IT'S A BOY!!

Well, my BobCat became a father today, 3 1/4#, 33" ws, 40" long . He is proud papa although Jr. had a little trouble taking his first steps today . He got a few bumps and bruises, but nothing serious, Jr. will survive.

Very cool George! What is it powered by? Is it a scratch build?

Kenny, its an Electric Jet Factory kit (B-version). It is powered by Wemotec Mini-fan and Hacker B40 motor and 12 cells.

That is really neat! I have never seen on of those before. Does it fly well? How fast is it?

There was one being flown at Florida jets that had amazing speed and endurance. It regularly mixed it up with the turbine powered models and it was hard to tell that it was e-powered. Very impressive!

That would have been "Hoser's", his is the large one for 90mm fans. The 90mm size will do 100 to maybe 120 mph in level flight depending on power system. The Mini-fan size one will be slower but still reasonably fast, say 80-100 again depending on power.
