Hi, the falcon 120 is definitely retract ready, but the pictures you'd uploaded are the bobcat size 25 that we are pushing out most likely late this month

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
Hi guys, First flight was UGLY. GMS 120 with the 14x7 three blade is not enough, needs more blade to start with. RPM'S in the air were verry high but no push. Take off took for ever and then shot straight up , landing after cutting power went straight down. I found out on second flight both problems were better wih at least half flaps. For you guy's with JR radios down load BVM data safe program for BOB CAT it will give you basic set up and crow. Next step will be to replace GMS 120 with OS 160, Already ordered pusher pipe from WESTON UK.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
Just got mine this week. Looks really good for what price you pay. Just wondering about removing some of the formers in the fuse for more for turbine installation. I have a friend that I can get a P-80 from to use and he said we could turn it down a bit. I was just looking at all the formers that’s in the way that could at least be hollowed out and try to do something with that tank mount in the nose to free up some room. Hell I have a Ziroli Hellcat big as it is and I only have 4 formers in it and this thing has I think I counted 9..
Any idea what it is painted with because I am wanting to add more colors? Excepting all suggestions. Thanks Todd

Hi Angel, What type of exhaust adapter do you have; it looks like it comes off the engine exhaust at a 90 degree angle? How did you make it? Also did you cut the back end of the motor mount area totally out. How is the motor mounted to the fuse?
Regards, Gary

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
ive got my 500 mounted on mine ,looks like it was made for it
i reglued all areas i could get to not because it needed it just so i new they were
50 oz dubro in the fuse
the flight caractristics were described as staight up and then staight down the staight up i get but was the straight down literaly staight down or was it just pitch change
also how was the cg was it good or does it need to be adjusted like the bobcat 50

I have a 45 deg. exhaust adapter from OS. No I only cut out the middle part , but still use the mount from them. I also cut down the motor mount about 1/4 in inside, it will be easy to get (4 bolts).

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
pics are a first for me so i dont know how to get them posted (some help here please)
i have figured how to post them in my gallery so untill then thats were they will be
right now its at 11 lbs still needs to get retracts batteries and ecu to install so auw should be under 15 lbs
as far as flying i would like to hear about the flight that jimzach had befor i try it with the turbine
the straight down part is what i want to know about plus i now the 50 size bobcat had issues with the cg and was wondering if this one is ok

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
Its the same motor mount, But took off the black covering , cut the side and sanded down , then paint with
Ultrapaint Org. I also use a 1/8 ply as a flex plate to mount the motor on almost like BVM Fan Mount.
No retract yet . I want to see how she fly first . But will have all the stuff for the retracts. It will have
520, 530 Robart
