Hi, hoping you can help me with the problem I have with my TIGERCAT. I just received mine a few days ago and the strap that's included in the model is not in a place that will secure the battery properly. Can you tell me what you did or recommend to solve the problem. LOVE THE VIDEOS you and do to help us with our models. Keep up the grat work, really appreciate it!
Hmm, you will have to try to pass something through the slots that you can use to fish the velcro through, OR, glue down a big strip of velcro and not use the strap.
Unfortunately the rivets aren't even close to scale accurate but that's ok. You can't expect to take a plane to Scale Nats without putting in some serious work anyway. The full scale used flush rivets in any aerodynamically critical areas, the forward fuse and wings mainly. The cowlings and access panels used your typical cam locks and the aft fuselage and tail have traditional button head rivets. Aside from the lack of cockpit detail I'm more than happy with the appearance out of the box. Mine got decals from Callie Graphics(Bad Kitty) and a few coats of gloss poly finish and she looks and flies beautifully, raised rivets and all. Definitely in my top 3 foamies, in fact it might be tied for first place with the new 80mm Freewing Cougar. I can't even tell you how many aircraft I currently own, after 3 decades of building and buying planes and helis... I stopped counting years ago lol. I still much prefer traditional wood but foam has come a long way.
Spare is as designed, yes, if you had to assemble it every time you flew it, it wouldnt be fun. Maybe someday it will get upgraded with removable wing tips out side of the engines! I would buy another if they did.
@@JohnVHRC yeah, a 1.7m plane wouldn't fit into my car, around 1.4m is max i can fit completely assembled. i hope there'll be a v3 sometime with either different connectors so you don't have to plug in the esc in the rx every time or those removable wingtips. it looks so gorgeous but for someone with not much room for storage and transport it doesn't seem ideal

NICE BUILD JOHN !!
THANKS JOHN FOR SHARING ONE OF MY FAVOURITE RC PLANES I OWN. SHE'S AMAZING 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤩
That's an absolute belter John, can't wait for the maiden.
John noticed in my instructions theres ment to be 2 carbon spars for the rear stab. I only got one like yourself
Hmm, I dont remember it saying two, one works great.
Agree, manual shows 2, 11/2023 I received only 1 and the stabs have only one hole, so evidently all that is required now.
I flew mine with a 6s 6000mah and flew just fine and landed like a pussycat. Your going to love it.
This is my next plane. I love the tiger cat. Such a cool plane. I've always wanted it. Can't wait to see you flying this one. 😍 😊
BAD 😺 KITTY. NICE. YUP. I GOTTA HAVE IT. THANKS JOHN ✌️
Such a sweet plane! Impressive!
DON'T CRY KENNY ✌🏼🤩
Awesome build John.👍👍

Nice Plane John !!! Great build video brother 👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
I told everyone on Kenny’s show last night about your discount code w/FMS👍🏻
Really appreciate this very well done video. It was very helpful. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Great review John 👍. Always wanted this one but sadly it’s $1150 over here ☹️
Best foamy because it does not fly like one!
Going to find out tonight. Foamy hater. Haha! 😂
@@JohnVHRC like mine, yeah, foamy hater mostly…😂

a beauty !!! nice 😎👍👍
looks great but the wingspar looks so short. and it seems to be quite a chore to put together at the airfield every time 😕

There is an alternate source for additional decals , Callie Graphics...
Wouldn't it be easier to put the decals on before the plane is put together?
I prefer its sitting on its feet and together.
@@JohnVHRC thanks for responding!
Good review John I want one that $600 is a lot of money my limits $400 on A foam airplane
Missing out then. Plenty of fantastic foam planes in the £600 price range.
