For what it's worth, mine weighed 7153 g (15.77 lbs) out of the box, including the ESM retracts and wheels. My electric all up flying weight, including flight batteries is about 10.5 kg (23.1 lbs).

I made a embarrassingly bad mistake on the second flight when I had to land in gusty crosswind. Still, the Tigercat behaved like a trainer and didn't stall despite my ridiculous stick input when I...

Mine is old, from 2010. The ones with the composite center wing is a little heavier, but not ten pounds heavier. I ditched the heavy wheels and used HS 225MG servos all around to save weight. I...

Heavy engines make for a heavy plane on landing, no matter how much extra power you have during loops. Mine has 1,34 hp per side of input power, which is fine. I mounted the servos under the wing...

I've seen your videos, which are spectacular with the speed and smoke. You can probably land a lot slower than that though. My Tigercat is nothing to be afraid of, and if you don't droop your...

Well. It's no wonder the plane is such a drama queen if the ailerons are lowered along with flaps.

Why would you droop your ailerons? That makes no sense. You're effectively reducing the washout of the wing.

Mine takes off on its own after 15 m/50' and lands slowly on the first half of our <300' field with ditches around it. Your mileage may vary. Mine's 10,5 kg and the built up wing.

I made the last piece from aluminum as it also broke, later, on the third flight. I keep messing up the landings.

I made a pitot tube and some air exits on the wings. The pitot tube is a friction fit in the wing and is removeable.

Some shots of mine taken after the maiden. I changed the angle of the nose leg as it had way too much forward rake in the stock setup. It was also too short to be scale.

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Ok. I didn't watch the video. I'm on a very slow internet connection and didn't want to wait for it to buffer. :) I'll watch it now.

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Thanks. What is included in the gear door set? Are actuator cylinders included? If so then it's great value.

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

Cool! I have not decided on a setup yet, but like you I plan on using light servos. I will buy some TGY AerodriveXp 42 SK Series 42-50 650Kv / 1150w to see if they can stand up to 1000 W. If they are...

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

It's no 3D plane, but it won't fly very scale either at this weight. The wing area is about the same as a 70" Spitfire but the weight is 50% higher. I'll try to eliminate some weight here and there....

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

crhammond,

KMP is a distributor and part developer of some of the planes. They are manufactured by ESM. ESM doesn't sell directly to consumers as far as I know. I think http://www.vqwarbirds.com/...

That's quite impressive if the plane is constructed with a sandwitch composite construction.
