Which do you prefer, FMS or Flightline?

Dude, you are the reason I bought this plane 6 months ago, flew it and immediately bought a second one 🤘😎 That was the baddest ass flight I’ve seen anyone do on this plane.

Love the Tigercat nothing else looks or fly like it. Great flight and review. Great camera work Bobby.

I love how it looks when it tracks straight with a good steady YAW thrown in. That’s when you know you have good control of the bird when you can successfully manipulate the rudder. I freakin love my F7F

This airplane is worth the time for Callie Graphics! I put a little clear on top and it is as beautiful as it flies. Great flying on this bird Ryan. I have it hanging in my shop with the gear down, what a sight!

Well that does it. This is the video I have been waiting for. Now I can go out and fly mine confidently. What a baby doll. This is by far the nicest warbird I own. Stand out job Ry. You are doing great brother. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for introducing this great plane, Ryan. I didn't even know they had a version like this, 6 cell, way to go! Great demo, always fun with you and Bobby, nice flight.

Just a jewel of a plane. large and impressive, landing gears are fantastic and the twin motors are the icing on the cake... 💖

The reverse cuban-8 was nothing short of amazing in this plane. bravo, great video cameraman as well.

Awesome flying Ryan and Bobby great with the camera. Love the plane. ✈️😀💝

Again you have shown the true fun IN the hobby. Thanks

Dang Big R, 135 comments. I used to be one of only 3 or 4 on you older videos. 😂 You and Wesley made me get mine back out and fly it yesterday. 3 great flights, however I certainly convinced I mucked my esc’s up to have my motors spin the other way. Oh well, now we know it flies fine both ways

Beautiful plane. Great flying skills too. That landing gear is nice.

Keep doing what you're doing, I really like your flying style and on the back of your review on the fms tigercat managed to get one in the uk

Really cool looking plane! Looks like a blast to fly 👍 Nice video Ryan! ⚓😎

Absolutely Beautiful Flight There Pilot Ryan Awesome Man , What a Beast I love it and I got to get myself one real soon , That is worth every Penny Man, hope to see more of this beast flying real soon now thats 2 models you got me hooked on the F18 and now this Baby or maybe 3 including the Blue Angles F-18C , Big Salute to you from Andrew Reece.

Beautiful Tigercat, even though I have the Flightline, I really appreciate the gear on the FMS and the one battery, but really can’t imagine either out handling the other due to such good airframes on both birds, either would be a great choice for a next plane, thanks for sharing

Jeff’s Custom RC There is a video on KZread where a guy had both the flight line and the FMS tiger cats and he flew both to do a comparison.From memory the FMS was the better of the two for several reasons, The only thing the flightline seemed to have over at the FMS was price and flight time, The FMS definitely had a tonne more power according to the reviewer-I will have to look it up and post the link here for you it was quite interesting watching because I always wondered which was the better value-that said though if you have not seen the FMS one in person you really won't appreciate what a work of art it is and how much they put into it, The undercarriage alone is a work of art with everything CNC machined.There is definitely a place in the market for both models but the FMS one I would say is definitely the one to get if you are a scale fanatic who loves scale detail because it even has every single rivet moulded into the foam.

Dude. You got the perfect field, Looks very private. Just gorgeous. What a doll of a place to fly. Lol

You want the descending blade to be toward the fuse. So props should spin inboard. Thrust will be along the fuse not outboard on the wings. Can you switch the props and reverse the motors? It would fly even better.

I put Callie graphics on mine. This bird deserves quality markings as the FMS ones just not up to it. Great flying airplane. And the gear is awesome. I leave it hanging from the ceiling with the gear down just cause it looks so great.

I will order on line. I like the way it flys especially its slow speed handling. Is there plenty of room for an average size 6s 5000mah lipo? Does it sit all the way forward to achieve the proper CG? I also love the strong sturdy landing gear on this plane. I was tempted to buy the eflite t28 carbon x 2m plane but it has issues with the landing gear unlike this Tigercat. Hoping to get the silver one. Many thanks.

Which one do you prefer between this one and the Eflite P51 1.5?

What flap settings did you use for mid and landing flaps? There isn’t anything in the manual, can’t wait to fly mine but I have to finish setting it up. Thanks for the help.

Which way should props turn? The manual states that the prop should spin clockwise when viewed from rear of plane and illustration is of the port wing. That is opposite of what you mention in the video. Should both props spin outboard? Thanks.

@PilotRyanMedia

Either way is fine, all of the flightline twins spun outboard when I worked there, so I matched that

I’ve seen this real thing fly at an air show, and this thing looks great. The colour looks slightly wrong and should be gloss, but good job. It flies like a heavy fighter with slightly slow aerobatics and this model does it great.

Hi Ryan, where did you find the info on the props turning outboard? I hooked up my motors per the ABC tags and they turn inboard. ( right wing counter rotating )

@PilotRyanMedia

4 жыл бұрын

It has become evident over much debate and speculation that FMS has configured Tigercats in about every rotation possible. Some inboard rotating from top, some outboard from top like mine and some where both are standard rotating not counter at all. We just followed the color coordinated wiring and ended up with outboard and installed the prop assembly’s accordingly. My book showed inboard but I followed the wires. Not to mention the Flightline p38 and early tigercats rotated outboard as well and were fine.

Love that sound! Would sure like to see your flying field on Realflight 9! I would spend some time there for sure😎
