Pilot Ben

I keep a bin bag IN the plane so that I can put the bits straight into transportation!!!

yes, and it's also a reminder to set failsafe correctly, and to set throttle cut,as ET almost had a nastry accident with a unrestrained wot 4 and it chewed into a table, whilst throwing bits of prop at him. A costly reminder that electric planes are NOT as easy as everyone thinks....

The bands are just for photos, as my flight ones are in my flight box and I couldn't be bothered to get them. The ailerons do move and have got a bit of leeway, despite what it looks like. I do know about the oil issue, and will proof the fuselage because I need the cougar to hopefully last..

So my Cougar is finally complete.I'm running Hitec HS322HD servos for ailerons, rudder and elevator. Due to the small space in funfly aircraft, I'm using a HItec HS81 micro for the throttle. An X6R receiver fits in nicely. I'm using an ASP 36 from Just Engines, complete with a 11x3 prop. All in all it should be just the right plane to do what I want to do. Also, I'm told by MrWestonUK that if my "Rubbishy little engine" can handle it, I should be able to prop hang with ease. I don't know who he thinks he's fooling, The weston eurotech 36TIR is a codeword for Rip - Off and dodgeyness. Two thing

just pure amazing, pure amazing. We might need a runway extension though!!!!

I just keep the battery IN and charge it via the port on the bottom right.

Hi Trev, Seriously, if you are thinking of buying one, just do it. They are fantastic things and will help you get them most out of your plane. There are quite a few in the club that have TARANIS, ( Rod, Emay, Me, E.T. ) to name a few. Trust me, it is seriously underrated, and you will love it the second you touch the box. There are so many advantages that you will wish you had done it sooner, and will try to persuade everyone to get one. Just do it..... Ben

The problem is the price, most parents look at the hobby, see the prices and think that they would rather spend the money on boots so their children can stay fit, rather than playing with toys....

Trevor, The TARANIS is the most amazing thing in the history of transmitters... The price makes it unique... GET ONE NOW!!!!

I read on EVERY R/C forum that the TARANIS was a nightmare to setup, but, having set one up (ish) in ONE night, I just don't see what the fuss is about. Maybe most 12 year olds don't set them up ( "the computer generation" ), or the new TARANIS plus is just better. I spoke to an anonymous member (Rod) and he too said that he struggled and had to ask another anonymous member (Emay) for help. I hope somebody replies and tells me what all the fuss is about, or I will have to shut up and deal with the debate at the field. The only thing I found is that care MUST be taken, or, in my case, you will

For those of you that have not owned a cougar, you really need to. I am, as many of you now know, an aspiring acrobatic pilot and wanted a plane to fit the bill. I had four choices: Wot 4 Cougar Fusion Limbo Dancer I liked the Wot 4, but I couldn't hover and "float" with it. The Limbo Dancer was a kit, so that was a no too. My info on the Fusion was sketchy and sparse. The cougar looked good and, after a test flight with Emay, I decided it was the plane for me. It is simple to assemble and is extremely durable. My ASP 36 found a spacious home and my Hitec servos fitted in s

Hi ET, I have thought about it with my dad, and if I take it, it will be a project for me, so, if you want a plane ASAP, you can take it, but I would like it as I can have some building experience and another plane to fly. It's up to you, but bearing in mind that I have ordered a cougar, so I will have a plane in the next few months, Ben

I have one and I love it... If you put a bigger than responsible battery in, it works

Hi Martin and Peter, Is there any way I can get in touch with Martin as I have sent him an Email, but I don't know if he has given it to Trevor yet, Thank you SO much, Ben
