RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I was thinking the same thing. Everywhere I flew my Kangaroo with 18lbs thrust, people thought it was really fast, and were shocked to hear best it ever did was 178mph out of a very steep dive. ...

If you are at a jet event, you better governor it. How's that? ;)

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

There are a lot more airframes for your 750 than there are for 14lb turbines. Think about that. There are always deals on RCU. I just picked up a Velox with landing gear for $800. Taking all the...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Just so you guys know I am not totally against Falcon's, I have 2 Falcon .25's. I freak'n love it! I have eletrified it and modified the wing for retracts because it comes with fixed gear only. It...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Yeah, looking at the wing, it was built ok for a glow plane and don't see why anyone would have a problem with a glow engine, but it was not built for a turbine and needs some beefing up beyond what...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Sounds like you did a lot to strengthen it. Thanks, I'll just have to find an airframe now.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Even high end planes like BVM can sometimes fail, usually when they are overpowered and put through too many G's. Considering mine failed at just over idle for some fluky reason though, I would...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I don't think the flap retraction caused it eaither. I think it was coincidental. The root rips are still attached to the fuse with the 4 bolts sheered off, so the wing did not come loose. Usually...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Just checked and not one servo was stipped out or not working, so we can rule out a servo failure.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Thanks Noah. I did consider that, however when the gear came out, it was not a very traumatic event. In fact, we just thought the gear collapsed and were shocked to find that it had ripped out. It...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Yes, I repaired the wing and strengthened the other one just in case. I have a Ram 750 with 18lbs, just like many other guys flying with Wren Supersports on 18lbs. I have never even gottem above...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

If the wing is THAT weak that it folded at less than 50mph, I doubt a dowel is going to help all that much, especially higher g's, but who knows. I wouldn't fly it without something stronger that's...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I don't have a way to measure the wing tube diameter exactly. Anyone know what it is in case I wanted to order a longer one from somewhere?

Thanks!

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Oh I gotcha. That is not like mine.....at least not that I remeber but will double check. Maybe that is the problem with mine. I hope mine is just a warped aileron because that is a super easy...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I thought mine were too, but as it turned out, the ailerons are straight but my left wingtip is down 1/8" and the right wingtip is up 1/8".

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Grodus,

Thanks for the compliment. Just very discouraging that after all that work the gear came out so easily. It was relly not a hard landing at all, but just got a little sideways in the...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

My plane was coming in a little sideways to compensate for the crosswind and the right main got torn out. I am not in the mood to fix it anyytime soon and actually find the plane a little slow for...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

i never thought the tape would offer much protection if you had a hot start anyway. If I didn't have the pipe, it would have been real bad. I am going to use a heavier piece of pipe for start up,...
