Nick!

I felt bad that I didn't tell you yesterday when you asked about the retracts that you should check this forum (and the one on RC Groups), but I guess you do. I had a thought--I don't...

I'm not sure about that. The detail around this motor is different depending on where you look... There was some back and forth even on whether it is a 370kv or 314kv motor... I guess all I can do...

Good to know. Thanks for letting me know. I was going to drive it off the 8S battery... I think what I will do is have a separate battery for it (I did it initially). I have a couple of small 3S...

I bought a pair from Park RC for another plane which I'm powering with 8S. I haven't installed them yet, though. They look pretty good!

I controlled it with the right lever (RLVR) on the DX18. It is a proportional channel. Those brakes are "somewhat" proportional. By the way, there are cheaper brakes on Park RC Models, and on...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Ron,

I understand from this that the ESCs were in the nacelles. Is that correct? I assume that the two blocks on top of the wing center with the cooling fans are the BECs? You also mention...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Or on the forums. The recommendation for the bigfoots are from someone who have put them on our tcat. That's why I bought it. I am pretty happy with the rimfire 160 I have in the p40, although...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Two comments:

1. Try and consider an alternative to the power 160 motors. Such as the tacon Bigfoot 160. They were introduced to me by someone else who is flying this tcat on them.
