The brief was to design a low cost 70mm Parkjet to replace the popular Flycat, it was to have no frills, look similar and to have no landing gear. The result is a similar outline to the original Flycat but it is bigger 1042mm as opposed to 640mm and it has an internal 70mm fan unit rather than an EDF unit sitting on top.

If your plane is not flying correctly land and adjust your radio or the Flycat's linkages where necessary. Once you have your Flycat flying well it will perform as if it is on rails, it's fast, smooth and manoeuvrable. You will be able to fly all the usual jet like aerobatics with ease and it looks really great in the sky.

As shown in the following pictures the foam has been pre-cut to allow for the installation of retracts. There is not a bespoke set of retracts made for the Flycat. They is a good selection on HobbyKing.Com or you may even...

FLYCAT If you do not intend to fit retracts to start with then we recommend you tack glue the foam blanking parts into the model. This is so they can be easily removed at a later date if you wish.
