RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

The Fuel Tank that I used is a Sullivan SUL390 from Horizon Hobby. It fits on the bottom of the nacelle. Its 16oz. It will give you plenty of run time.

Cheers,
Doug

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Either engine choice will be fine, My first one had G-20's and pulled good. I'm finishing my second one with G-26's. If I had it to do all over, I would have used big 4 stroke glow due to being a...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

What 3 blades were you using? I have zenoa g-26 EI and planned on turning 16x8 3 blades
My first one had g20s and 14x9 3blades and it moved along nicely.
