I agree. I also own this plane for some years already and it's rock stable without any problems at all after I removed the problematic wingplugs. For grass ops the gear and wheels are the best you can get imo. Greetings from Belgium 🍻

We never ran into any issues with the wing plugs, surprisingly.

Love love love this plane. I had the Freewing Tigercat and bought the FMS Tigercat and hands down the FMS outperforms the FW Tigercat. I have two now. My only complaint were the water slide decals. They are pretty much trash. I ordered Callie Graphics, perfect. Careful with the rudder. I know how you like to fly, that rudder is huge and has ALOT of authority. Also, it's the slight dihedral in the wings that you can do what you can do with it. There are some videos out there of the full scale Tigercat and FMS got it really close to the scale one. Now it will drop a wing really nasty if you are banking it beyond 75 to 80 degrees and giving full rudder (120%). I found that out and thankfully i had it high enough and recovered easily.

Such a fun plane! It is absolutely a fantastic touch 'n go machine!!

I absolutely love mine. It was the 3rd plane i got amongst the many i have now, only I chose the freewing

Nice review! FMS F7F Tigercat is by far the best warbird one can fly, I prefer using the pavement at our fly field for takeoff's and the smooth grassy area along side the runway for landing, which is best in my opinion on all FMS 1700mm warbirds. this seam to work best for those hard plastic wheels

I really appreciate your honesty about the minor issues with this model. Especially the landing gear. It's so detailed and beautiful. Then, they slap rock hard shopping cart wheels on it. Another YT reviewer had a pretty annoying nose gear collar issue with his. It seemed like a let down- considering how much money we suckers are going to plunk down on a big bird like this. And the stickers... ugh. At least you can choose to apply them, or not. Great review. Beautiful warbird. Awesome camera footage, Liz! Love the additional commentary, too 😊 👍

That is a sweet plane, thanks my Man.

I love the Tigercat and your videos are great. I just need to save my pennies to afford one! 😁

Great review on a stellar warbird,thank you! With counter-rotating props watch out that the starboard side spinner is on securely. The motor shaft should’ve been reverse threaded on that side. It’s not. I remove my props for transport so it’s always in the back of my mind the possibility of it coming loose. It hasn’t so far. But goodness can this plane present,stunningly so,flown scale. Love it!

I love the review😄😄

Those struts look terrific.

So good

I just ordered the FMS tigercat with your discount code, thanks. I have the flightline F4U corsair and like it better than the FMS corsair

Awesome plane ive always wanted one but ran out of room. Damn. I would like for you to include the build process on your reviews. Some are not fun to put together as you know. Thanks again. Great filming and review.

Builds aren't something we can cover - but for that sorta thing you can visit Brian Phillips. He's got the patience, time, and camera crew for that!

Beautiful plane. Saw a full scale fly at an airshow. Amazing sound. Nice one Jon!

Definitely use one of the discount codes if you can - it'll help knock at least some of the cost off the plane!

beutiful

Doooood! Awesome video! I always enjoy your content! BUT! You need to buy some Carbon Z Cub floats and put them on the Draco!!!!!!

Draco was retired after its last vid. It died for the review.

Did FMS bring this back? Last I knew, it had been discontinued. I hope they did or are going to. As always, great review! Thanks

Shouldn't be discontinued!

Most if not all the planes from flightline at motion at wheel nice foam wheels that don't sound bad, imo at least.

Interesting!

3:05 much of the wing isn't stalled due to the prop blast...

Not at the throttle setting being used. That's all aerodynamics, not thrust overpowering it.

How do the SMC packs compare to the Spektrum Smart batteries?

@TwoBrosRC

They're more powerful and less expensive. They don't feature auto-discharge, auto-balance, or auto-charge though.

Add a UBEC and separate battery pack for lights and gear…?

Pretty sure it actually does have a UBEC if memory serves. The issue is probably just the sequencer getting caught up on itself if it's not allowed to finish an entire cycle.
