Default Herritage Hellcat

Hello All,

Here's my recently finished Hellcat from a Herritage (SkyShark now) Kit. Saito .72GK for power, Robart rotating retracts w/struts. Finish is Krylon spray paint under automotive clearcoat. Kit was built and finished by Capt. Matt P. in about two weeks! The pics don't do it justice. Thanks Matt!

Thanks Guys!

I just need to do the servo install. I'll video the test flight and report back.

Rob, I loved the website. Very nice stuff! As far as the Hellcat goes, I sent the Hellcat to up to my long time flying buddy Matt in Cinci. Two weeks later I had pictures of the completed plane in my mail box! He covered it with Skyloft and yes, he used Krylon right out of the rattle can. After the decals, striping, and flat clear coat you would never guess. The finish is super tough and the plane is amazingly light.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE and Very, Very Nice!! [8D]

We are looking forward to your flight report. I am always interested in Skyshark products, being from Wyoming, where Heritage R/C started. I am going to be in Lake Havasu over Christmas and may just have to get myself a little present to bring home.

What engine, retracts, etc.? Again, an outstanding looking ship! Congrats!
