Was your classic NP Bobcat bounce on landing.
I had gone to idle about 3 feet above ground and when the mains hit the plane jumped up at a very nose high attitude like almost pointed vertical.
I gunned the throttle and then the plane rolled inverted (maybe from the torque or wing stall) and when that happened I went back to idle and she came down nose first from about 8' up.
Sorry no video [:'(]

RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?
Hi everyone. I am seeking some parts for my Bobcat
Does anyone have, in any condition
1. Canopy
2. Engine mounts
3. The manual
I would prefer the parts for the yellow version but really I don't care. I will of course pay the postage

Has anyone attempted to tint the canopy on the Bobcat 50? I have the yellow/blue/red kit. The canopy is clear and I'd like to tint it yellow. Has anyone had any success tinting the Bobcat 50 canopy with Rit dye?

Just a reminder to everyone that I am seeking a canopy for a bobcat - I don't care about condition
Mine was broken, I repaired it, fitted a balsa base for support & painted it. - John.

Actually, THIS thread is about the smaller 50 powered version, not the 120. - John.

I have found one at BVM jets, but it's not cheap

opjose,
I looked on this website and didn't see anything that would work.
The ''Falcon 56'' canopy is far too small to fit my Bobcat. Am I looking in the wrong place perhaps?

If so the canopy you show is for a BVM Bobcat, much bigger than the model you have.
Canopies can be trimmed to fit, of course, but the Bobcat 50 has a moulded recess
in the fuselage where the canopy fits, don't know if you can achieve a proper fit with a larger,
trimmed canopy.
if not why is it in the Jet Forum
of the smaller Bobcat 50 using a Wren 44, which I have in mine. No big deal, both the Bobcat 50 and
the Falcon 120 are low cost IC airframes convertable to turbine power. - John.

Ok not sure if this will help the opening on mine is 13 in (333mm) long x 3 1/4 (80mm) in the centre wide and I do have an 8mm lip all the way round. So I will email BVM Jets to see if I can get the size from them
Else anyone else go any idea's as $30 + postage is going to hurt
