RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Thanks Guys,

The replacement impeller is already on it's way but shipping is a pain!
I've rebalanced the impeller and it works a treat (no vibrations) and the power is the same.

I'm going...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I must admit that the Falcon has become my fav airplane lately. Just a lot of fun zooming around the patch.

My MW54 has been through a bad FOD incident (screw loose milled the LE of my...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I just glued the stab to the booms. It's not a large assy. It still fits in my car great and though I feared hangar rash it's not a problem so far.

Hi Guys and thanks for the compliments...

I'd like to thank Ravivos for the excellent pictures.

There was no inspiration other than the severe lack of runway at my local field. I must...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Well that's kinda unsurprising isn't it?


Just some facts for the numerically inclined:
The roots of the blades experience 250,000G's at top RPM. That turns out to anywhere between 400lbs...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Well It's a cheap airplane. We all know that! I fully expect to trash mine sooner or later. That's part of the appeal for me. I really don't care all that much if I crash it.

I think everyone who has this plane with a jet engine will come up to this issue sooner or later. I decided to go with a simple-but-ugly fix. I added 2 CF patches to the outside of the mount. ...

Hi Sara,
For some reason my friends decided to watch instead of take pictures... Go figure. I'll have another go next Friday. Hopefully we'll get better pictures then.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Thanks,
I thought it would be but it really wasn't a problem. It taxies just a little faster than the prop planes. This really isn't an issue since you don't need to slow for takeoff and...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Sorry guys, not yet... I had a brain freeze and forgot to fill the hopper tank. The resulting propane flame torched my tail. I''m fixing it as we speak... I''ll keep you posted.
