This is my new Bobcat.

You'll love the BobCat, I am now building my second, an XL. The first is flying beautifully with a PST 600.

Just as a matter of interest, the BVM leaflet on the BobCat says :
in less than an hour, even the most meticulous modeller will hold a completed, ready to cover (the stab.) assembly in his hands.

Building the stab. for my XL I tried to match that. After 1 hour and 48 minutes I had the stab, in my hands, finished ready for a final rub down before glassing !

What am I doing wrong ???

That's easy David. You are taking too long! ;-)

David - you just need to take less coffee & RCU breaks during the building process.

Gordon

Looking good mike!!

Ready to paint mine

David,
it is obvious what the problem is.....your not meticulous enough

Todd

Honestly guys , no coffee, no RCU breaks, nothing but continuous work ! Perhaps my stopwatch is running fast or Australian time goes quicker than it does in the US. Anyway the second BobCat is well on the way.

Anyone for BobCat pylon racing at FJ, single class, 500 sized engines only !

Back to the building board !

Sounds like the Corriolis force to me!

Looks great Michael!!!
Whats the status on big Mig?
Scott

The F/C 15 Mig is having a lot of problems with landing gear at this time we are trying to work it out.

I have 10 flights on this Bobcat. It flys great and I hope to have smoke system soon.

I am thinking about installing New TJT 3000 on the Bobcat that will give me 28 + pound of go go go !!!!!!!!!! do you guys think that would be to much for it.

The TjT 3000 is now installed on the Bobcat and ready for Fl, jets.

Everything slows down when you get to your age david

Did you guys fly the BC with the CG per plans or else? I am planning to fly mine this weekend so let me know.
Also, one of elevator servos is faster than the other, you can see one side moving higher(up by 1/16) than the other but then the other side catches up. I traced it to a faster 3301 digi servo! Any problem with that except for minor trim!!!
This is the short (like me) Bobcat!!
