 | Super high-res image of the Firecat ready to fly. | ||
 | A not-so-high-res view from the front. | ||
 | This is a picture with the engine removed. The engine mount was made from an old cart machine. It is 1/16th inch aluminum. It seems like metal that thin might be flimsy, but when the engine is bolted onto the mount, it is rock solid. | ||
 | Here is the engine mount. | ||
 | This is a picture of the propeller guard while I was still trimming it down. I used the cage from a stand-up fan and trimmed away many of the wires to minimize airflow interference.. | ||
 | Here are the attached rudders. It was very difficult to get them properly aligned so that they would turn freely in their bearings. | ||
 | This is a closeup of one of the rudders. Here you can see the rudder control linkage. | ||
