I am remiss in taking so long to write this followup review. After I wrote the review titled Major Disappointment, I received a very short message from MRC to let me know that the ship container had arrived and my parts would be sent to me very soon. Sure enough, I received another message letting me know that they had been shipped and within a very few days, they arrived. MRC had expedited the shipping. NOW THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE. Thank you MRCUnfortunately, when the parts arrived, so did bad weather here in Texas, so we will be hit-and-miss for the rest of the winter. So it is time to Build, Repair, and Upgrade the Inventory.Sorry to see that MRC has exausted their inventory of the F7F's That plane is a real winner.ED

This is a beautiful airplane and it flies like a dream. It has major WOW appeal. But if you happen to break a prop, make sure that it is not the Reverse prop!!!! The reason? Replacement Reverse props are on back order and will not likely be available for 4-6 weeks, according to Customer Service. I have been unable to find a substitute or work around. CS also cautioned against changing the rotation on the reversed engine because the plane does not fly well with both props turning the same direction.So there goes our good flying weather for that plane this year. Very disappointing. If you find another source for Reverse Props, please let me know.ED

I was extremely excited about this purchase and it seemed like an eternity to arrive. But when it finally did (5-days later), I became even more excited after opening the box and saw how amazing it looked! After a couple of hours it was mostly all together. Wow!! Very impressive looking! A few days later, at the field, the plane drew a crowd. Lots of really positive statements from everyone. Left flaps up for maiden flight. She took off smooth and predictably. A few clicks of down elevator and right aileron and she was straight and level. The landing was even smoother (no flaps) which you don’t really need. To use the flaps, you WILL need to mix in down elevator on you TX to keep it level. This plane is an absolute dream to own & fly. It’s my largest plane and my first twin. Flightline and motion nailed it with this gem!

Great kit. Perfect fit up. Beautiful. Only one issue. The controller board in the fuselage was DOA. BUT, the guys at Motion RC replaced it immediately, (just received yesterday) at no charge, of course. Outstanding customer service! Can't wait to fly it!

This tigercat fly’s very easy and it performs very well also this plane flys in very strong winds as well very stable. And you have enough power with these engines. The landing gears are strong enough

Beautiful ARF that assembles very fast. I am in the final stages of assembly and I can tell this is going to be a super plane to fly. I had a couple of issues during assembly. First, one of the JR jumper leads must have been faulty. When I plugged in the Main Battery, the jumper from the Rudder port of the Receiver to the control board lit up like a fuse and caught fire!!!! I quickly disconnected the battery. Through check-out of receiver, plug-board, and rudder servo revealed nothing so I replace the jumper and all is working fine. Secondly, I plugged in the battery again. Everything worked but the retracts. Upon checking carefully I found that the lead from the Right Main Retract had not been plugged into the board in the wing properly. Only 2 of the 3 pins were engaged. This connection had been made at the factory. I reinstalled the connector and the retracts started working. Also had a wire that came out of one of the ribbon harnesses. Actually that was the hardest thing to repair.These minor issues are to be expected with a complex model. The fire was new and exciting but all is OK.I really like the product

What a brilliant aircraft this is and very easy to assemble. Flying is an absolute dream, very smooth and scale like. With full flaps slows down for very smooth landings...excellent.
