Hey Duddly dude...That Bobcat 50 is no BVM BobCat.. I've heard you'd better re-enforce the boom attach system, I know nothing about the wing attach points. Good instuctions would help.

Wings are intended to be glued on its a one piece model!! You will have to devise your own system if you want to make the wings removable. Its a Goldcat 50 BTW galaxies away from a BVM bobcat. Keep it light and watch the CG. otherwise it will flick in turns if slowed down. Dont ask how I know!! there is a veeery long thread on this model

we flew one the other day, powered with a Supertiger 90. we turned the carb plate on front of engine and now the engine runs opposite direction, clockwise. with that done, you can now use any regular prop. but seems even the 90 is not really enough power. so on mine i have a brand new OS vr-df 90 maybe that will be enough power.

LittleHotShot...Here's the link to the Nitro Pusher Bobcat build here on RCU. Excellent information I went through all 130+ pages. Be sure to reinforce(epoxy) every visible landing gear mounting area, as the hot glue will come loose on the first landing whether soft or hard. My wings are bolted on. If you epoxy the wings, you will have major difficulty doing any maintenance or servo changes.
