Default The Cat is BACK!!!

Just thought i would share.... After an unfortunate mishap with a midair collision, Scott Harris has pulled off another beautiful repair of his famous "Dennis the Mennis" KingCat. Scott and the guys from Nashville were up in Bowling Green today at the SKYMAC field working the bugs out of the repaired Kingcat. And let me tell you, I think this version will fly even better than the first one!!

Well, I was on the other end of the midair back in May. It was great to see the Sabre Cat back in the air again. The re- maiden was a couple weeks ago. Today was for fun. Great job-as always- Scotty[8D]

Just curious, what was on the other end of that mid-air?

I saw a King Cat vs. BIG ViperJet collision this past October and let's just say that the King Cat landed on it's own (with non-functioning gear) and the Viper Jet just sort of floated to the ground in hundreds of pieces.

Pretty tough plane those King Cats!

Good to see The Cat back in the air. I was there when it happened and no one likes to see something that on any rc air craft.

I think the "WANNA PLAY" is what caused it LOL.

good luck with her.

Wow! Talk about Deja Vue!

That is the identical damage that Mike Lesher's King Cat sustained when it pulverized the Airworld ViperJet!

Although, Mikes' air tanks were not in as good shape as these.

Tough plane for sure!
