Brodak is bringing out a new kit of the AJ Super Firecat.  I was able to get my hands on a pre-production short-kit so I could design an electric conversion for it.  Electronista’s should be able to get both a first run of the Super Firecat kit and the Electric Conversion Kit (#BH-1936) at same time.

This conversion dispenses with the X-mount and mounts the motor directly to the firewall, accessing mounting bolts through the battery box.  Per my usual practice, the 5-sided box is open to the inboard side for battery change-out, the retaining strap is under almost no stress...

My memory of the Firecats my dad built are that it was a better flyer than the Ringmasters, and certainly prettier to look at!  Test flights early next week in Carmichaels…

The Ringmaster was also a whole dollar cheaper.  I too bought two kits from TCI.  One has been flown at VSC and the kit went to someone who wanted it.
