Bobcat Composite - to crow or not to crow?
Rigging up a Bobcat Composite. Finally gotrid of the boomer - I thought Iwould keep it forever but I just had to move on. (250 flights)
I had an XL BCat("Ain't Skeerd") for about 15 flights and it basically landed itself - Ijust had to sell it before it fell apart! My biggest mistake - that thing flew great......... Anyways....inspired by Kevin Whitlow, Ijust want a Bobcat that Ican rack up the flights on. Ihave seen it done both ways - flaps only or with crow? Your thoughts? Rabbit is the pusher. Thanks in advance, Smitty |

OK, crow setup. Could someone tell me the flap throws? Ihave the manual but not the jig that you use to set the flap positions.

Sorry Smitty, I used the "jig" and I can't remember what the angle was when I checked it (years ago now). If I was home, I would send you the gauge, sorry.

Dude
just throw them down using the TLAR method and make sure they deploy evenly. |

Hey Smitty, I built "Ain't Sceered" several years ago and sold it when I moved to Texas. Regretted it ever since...one of the best flying jets I've built. I heard it's gone through 4 owners since I sold it and it's still in one piece! Saw it in the classifieds a few months ago. I recently bought a NIB XL kit that I'm building now. Use the crow with flaps on the composite version as per BVM's website, otherwise it'll float right on by when trying to land.</p> |
