RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

I didn't do any extra reinforcing but the nacelles are glued on. (P-40 is the Top Flite ARF)

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Here's how i did the KMP. Just used a 1/4 20 bolt and blind nut which both secures the outer wing panel and acts as an anti-rotation pin. Access is through the main gear well.

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Here's what I did with mine - nothing special really. The servo arm just needs to be longer than the control horn to give the servo the mechanical advantage. I used 4/40 wires for hookup. One...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

I did use the flaps and had a fairly steep approach but was late with the flare and was fighting the ailerons. It was , after all, the 1st landing. The structure looks strong enough but the rails...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Success! Maidened today. Got a little behind on landing and broke out a gear - clean break though. A couple other minor fixes to do - but overall good 1st flight. Pics coming soon.

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Congrats on your maiden! I'm still sneaking up on mine. Ran 3 tanks through the Fujis but they need some more run time yet. Had a long punch list to fix after the first runs. Also got it balanced...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Just finished balancing mine. I used 5" back from the LE at the fuse which gave me a 15% static margin (used since the gear retracts aft). I originally had my 4500mah pack mounted to a plate inside...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Okay - here comes one of the hard questions. The instructions say to epoxy in the fuel tank. I know nobody did that. How did you all secure your tanks?

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

The Hellcat has flown twice now. Both times ended up with gear partially retracted on landing causing some damage. Got to get to that soon.
