Ocelot

[Vanders]

After see AvB's post the other day in the "Market" section about Andrew from Falcon Gliders clearing some Ocelots I gave into temptation & bought the X-tail, it arrived yesterday packed extremely well, as has been said before Andrew is great to deal with, very helpfull with advice & he generously threw in a complete spare tail section for it.
This seems a great deal, the plane is a very sweet looking model, build quality looks great, comes with ballast tube & steel ballast slugs, being an all glass version it weighs next to nothing & should fly in the lightest of conditions, which seems to be the normal thing these days. Just need to pick the landing spots well as it is a lightish build.
A big bonus is there really isn't much building to be done, mount servos & radio gear, run wiring, bolt on X-tail.

Planning on using HS-65HB's for elevator & ailerons & the HS-65MG's for the flaps.

Andrew said he really likes his, so I'm looking forward to see if I think the same.

Will post some pics as the build comes along.



Thanks Andrew!!!!

P.S. I think he may still have a V-Tail left................

Mark it's fantastic. What a deal.

The only problem I can see with it is that you're gonna set it up Mode 1 (one stick) so I won't be able to have a fly of it!!! Not fair!!!

If it's similar to the Nemesis you'll be totally stoked. It's so nice to fly, so aerobatic, lovely inverted, can't fault it. Although the recorded speeds weren't great, I was stoked with how snappy fast it DS'ed on Wed - incredible really, with very little ballast. Not that you're planning to DS this, I know, but these are really fast planes. The Nemesis waggles a fair bit & the X tail will make the Ocelot better, I'm sure.
