Re: FastCat
Fast Cat is not a beginners Plane.Better start with a high wing trainer plane.
If you wish to continue with fast cat, you will meet RAVANA on your first flight. >

Re: FastCat
Not all pushers. Fast Cat is like a fast jetplane.

Re: FastCat
Rao Garu, can you suggest a motor + prop combination to turn the Fastcat into a more controllable machine? I believe the suggested combi is for a superfast flyer. She is a beautiful design and I am a novice. There must be some way to slow her down a bit....
Please help.

Re: FastCat
Sorry VC,
I have not flown any pusher prop profile jets till now. My knowledge about them is zero.Just know they are fast flying planes.I am also a novice. I also think that a plane designed for fast flying would not perform the same at lower flying speeds.
Regards,
Rao.

Re: FastCat
In general Raoji's statement is very true... that fast flying pusher planes cannot really be made to fly slow. Where I got surprised was with the flying wing (
http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/mini-slinger-feedback-on-flying-wings/
), which seemed to fly very slow also, especially if there is a small to moderate amount of wind. So building a flying wing may be an option for you, if you want to try a pusher that can also fly fairly slow.

Re: FastCat
And you can build pushers which can fly slow, like this one :
http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/durable-light-weight-strong-plane/
The trick seems to be to have lots of wing area (and sort of a mid or high wing design), yet the plane be very very light. Then put a pusher power system that has enough power to fly it around slow when it is not windy.

Re: FastCat
Dear VC,
I have made this plane in 24 Inch, in feb 007. I could fly it well that time when in fact i was a beginer with only little experience. if you build light it can fly very slow too. I had used
Hextronics blue motor, GWS prop 5X4, 3 cell.
AUW 300 grams.
The trick also is to keep the aeleron throws very small, like 20% and is very evry important.
I am planning to make this once more too.
I recomend that u go ahead and u ill not regret.
