IanN Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Douglas, I'm pretty sure you'll find that this is the jobbie in the pic **LINK** from Robot Birds. Same thing available here from BRC **LINK** (same organisation, and great advice/service if you ring them with any qs). And also as a combo from BRC if you need the ESC aswell **LINK** most of the data you'd need should be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Flynn 1 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have been reading many comments on the pushy cat, so decided to build one. well I flew it for the first time today, although very apprehensive, my pal launched it and it quite happily just flew away with no vices at all. In fact my comments were "oh" as it went away. I was expecting it to dive, dip or deviate from the flight line. It went straight and level. Could not believe what a pussy cat it was. Great flight at low or high speed. landed ok with no problem, but it did drift on a bit with no wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
