Thread Starter

Thanks, I've been flying a standard BobCat with a RAM 500 for the last 3 years but this one has
an FTE 750 and will get off the ground in a hurry
It flies great, I put 14 flights on it last weekend

I love the paint job. I have seen the craftsmanship up close and I am amazed on how beautiful they are. I have not flown one yet, but they look like alot of fun.
Enjoy,
Dave

Hi Dawn:
No more Classic Bobcat, I guess, with that 'Fingernails on the Blackboard" sound of the RAM 500, that always seemed to work flawlessly with you doing the startup.....Now your into a real "Catch me if you Can" Bird.....heard Scott Marr is trying to strap a P-180 on his ARF BabyCat......no way he's gonna be left in your dust!!
Very nice looking Bird.....
Adios.....Tom

i just picked up a p180 yesterday, and was thinking how it would look on a BobCat, .... it would fit with little modification and around a pount of lead in the nose
... I loved mine with a P120 ... Can't wait to get one back in the air again ... As for Scott, i think he is trying to figure out how to get a 55lbs p200 on the BobCat instead

I did have the Titan on the Comp Bobcat!!!!
Now finding a home for the P180. It will have a home in a few months on a new airplane!!!!!!!!!!
Would like to strap this P180 on the Bobcat ,but it weighs as much as the airplane. It'l have a home soon.

Scott if it was a Titan i had laying around instead of the p120, that would have ended up on my BobCat as well
.... i think the vertical out of slow flight with a P120 is only marginal
...... My P180 is going on the Raptor so as to properly overpower that plane by nearly 20lbs [8D]

pegged at 200 for the duration of an entire flight( by a speed limiter) i think its perfect [8D] ... the 120 is only .5 lbs heavier than a p70, so the engine weight is irelevant ....

Guys,
thanks for all of the kind words on the new plane, it does fly great. As many of you know I have been flying a standard BobCat with a RAM 500 for 3 years so this just give me another plane to play with
Tom
as for the other BobCat it is still going and I plan on flying it also, although it did not move from the trailer while we were at the T-38 Jet Rally (I think it got really sad) Anyway the new FTE-750 really pushes the new BobCat around with authority, almost as good as the KingCat!
