lovely plane

long time since any updates for all those under going treatment I sincerely hope it went well. Me I'm still being monitored PSA reading creeping up but nothing to be alarmed about. My younger brother has been diagnosed after taking my advise to get checked unfortunately has prostate cancer to big to remove prostate so is undergoing hormone treatment to reduce the cancer ( happily not suffering with side affects i.e breast development and a desire to wear a dress. Recent MRI showed the cancer to be confined to the prostate capsule and is about to start radiotherapy long road ahead of him but should have a good outcome. So please get checked you never know because without the test my brother would be looking at a very bleak outcome.

Hi Bruce please see here I would appreciate updates here to remind us blokes to do just that and get the PSA tests PSA

Maybe check to see if its still there

thank you Eric I'm not to bad 🙂

So it continues 🙂 Port wing almost sheeted nav light completed , landing light completed . Ae servo fitted and one flap servo fitted other flap servo will be fitted after wing joining (no far off) and trailing edge shrouds fitted. Inlet ports on wing completed , these were done by laser cutting several pieces of rectangular balsa then laminating and carving to shape plus filler . I meant to show my little homemade tool for creating a bed for trailing edge bed, this was made using 2 pieces of hardwood in an l shape with coarse sandpaper .

that is on heck of a machine Ron

really a credit to you Colin

Yes after I posted I did an extensive search and as you say non available. Just as well I bought 50 a couple of years ago .

Slow progress but at least it is progress. Motor mount is on motor fitted Esc installed and battery tray fitted . next up fit remaining wing servos and join wing sections also fit landing light and nav light with covers.

if anyone still needs to source these SLEC blades they are Swan Morton MajorV surgical blades available from medical supplies. used in orthopaedic surgery 🙂

Hi Edge here is post from 2010 NYLON

congratulations Nick

that is a beautiful work of art ,a credit to your hard work

With a cows reputation for methane release it could have jet powered

Full doors Chris courtesy of Motion RC Flighjtline Tigercat spares although the hinging is going to be my biggest nightmare, just can't get my head around how to accomplish it 😞

After much fiddling I have more or less got the 2nd nacelle about right ,next thing is battery support and motor mount followed by joining the port side wing sections together .anyway here are a couple of pics. Here's hoping I can make is look halfway decent.

that looks gorgeous Nick

yes Chris the scale outlines are supposedly very accurate

Hi Chris I think there is little doubt that your Tigercat is a Giant Scale Twin here is a https://giantscaletwins.com/f-7-f-tigercat

I will do some more searching Chris

these are pics form an earlier time that I don't think I posted. Also at one stage in the distant past I opted to make the wing as one piece . first 2 pics are of the cowl made as described earlier but now covered in very thin ali sheet which will be painted and maybe distressed a little ,visible is the lipo access hatch that will be on top.

Right I'm still fighting with nacelle 2 having forgotten how I did nacelle 1. the former plans don't match up but I decided to fit them then make adjustments after (butcher) it's getting there but it does not look pretty I can only hope judicious sanding and careful covering will hide the work 😞 anyway here are some pics to date

just read through all this log am enjoying ,my wife said are you still reading the same thing 🙂
