FMS Tigercat looks like a beauty. And its so stable and forgiving, just like Grumman planes are meant to be! Even for a massive model it would surely be a pleasing, easy Sunday flyer
Two brothers Radio Control, this is Linden Stewart from Georgetown Guyana 🇬🇾 in South America, I really love the way you Handled that FMS Tiger 🐅 cat Warbird, all your landing were so Grease, you are an Inspiration to beginners Rc pilots by encouraging them to used the safe technology to be come better rc pilots, you are the reason we fly rc planes, I rarely love that FMS Tiger cat, going to be working hard on getting one,
Im a little late to the party and i was wanting you to reveiew this plane. I have TWO of them thats how much i love this plane. I dont use flaps at all for landings. Yes trying to stall it is pretty hard. My grandfather flew this plane and he comes to the field with me when i bring them out. I have all of my settings on high with the exception of the rudder. The rudder is massive and on high rates it will do an awesome tail slide...LOL. The speed is amazing. My older Tigercat i did experiment with more powerful motors and two bladed props just to see what would happen and jeez its a monster. It was just fun but i prefer scale flying. Overall for a heavy plane it flies beautifully. Suggestion on smaller packs. Use a higher C rating, the battery will get pretty hot. Overall FMS knocked it out of the park with this one. The real Tigercat if you look it up was a heavy plane with oversized engines. My grandfather said it was beast of a plane but a real lady in the air.
I like the rates and setting you display on screen and at the same time execute the model for a clear demonstration of the rates and setting done! I will go order one seeing it’s more than docile handling and ease of landing and take off! Thank you so much!
I’ve been wanting one of these but hesitated many times because of the price tag. I’m glad to see someone review it that I trust to give an unbiased opinion. Thanks for the video!
Use the promotional codes in the description - if you've never used ReferraltwobrosRC before, you'll save $64 on the model, bringing the total price below $600. That should help out!
I've always been old school .. wooden airplanes, silk or Koveral and dope and big glow engines, however, FMS has really impressed me! I have ordered their 1700mm Super Cub to leave on floats.
Jon this plane is EASILY my favorite warbird. I've had mine for almost a year and it's just magnificent. I know you like you're planes a little tail heavy with you're battery placement. I use a 6s 7000 all the way foward. I did use the smc pack you are using and other 5000 packs but the battery got pretty hot. You're brave that much throw on the rudder, it's so BIG that you can seriously tail slide it on the bigger throws like you have. Yes it's stall characteristics are very gentle cause of the slight dihedral and such massive wings. But over all its amazing plane...LMAO yea it takes up my WHOLE truck bed..😂
I was lucky so see one fly and let me tell you it sounds like a monster. I use to work at airshows across united States and seen the f7f and f8f fly a bunch and it was something ill never forget
I ordered one yesterday. They had a Father's Day Gift Card Sale. Buy a $530 gift card for $500. Buy a $105 for $100. Gift cards = $635. Plane costs $640. I wrote a review which gave me $10. I only spent $600 for gift cards. I got plane, 2 gift cards and$5 left on one of the gift cards.
Wow! Love the review. Exactly what I was looking for! Have always loved this plane. Just picked it up with your referral code!! Great Deal!! Thank you 🙏. Also, love your comment about not being a gatekeeper; the world would be a better place with more inclusion into such hobbies! Excellent content.
@@TwoBrosRC I just joined discord, I’m sorry to be such a noob but how do I join your discussion board?? I searched a bit and gave up…do I have to be invited? Thanks in advance.
FYI there is a difference between gyro and safe. Both have their place. I am an instructor in our club and the general encouragement is ... yes use your safe until you are comfortable but get out of safe as soon as possible.
We still have SAFE enabled in our aircraft in case of emergency. There's nothing wrong with having it or using it so long as the pilot flying it prefers it.
Impressive twin motor howling sounds and beautiful/well designed landing gear. Wheelie for days! No P-factor pulling to the left is the biggest difference with single prop warbirds. Great candidate for FPV flying. Excellent review with your camera crew🙂
Absolutely. We'd have to get a new canopy for it and some goggles, but we'll hit ya up when we do. Probably won't get the views that THP did, but we'll still get the word out!
@@TwoBrosRC Views are nice to have, sure. But having a new perspective to enrich RC flying experience, essentially doubling or tripling the utility of a plane by learning to fly formation or dogfight etc, that in my opinion is the main draw. I have limited space for storing planes. So it make sense to get as much use out of each plane as possible😉
@@motionsic The views comment was more in reference to your offer to demo the awesome FPV system you developed - if we're going to promote it, we'd want to get the most eyeballs on you as possible. ;)
I bought the Flightline Tigercat before I became a Jehovah’s Witness for everything FMS last year. Zero complaints with the Flightline version. If had to vote “Best WWII RC Fighter”, I’d have to my vote to the Flightline P-38 with the gear upgrade. (There’s just a comfort level now with it after 6 years. AR-637T. Never a WTF moment, easy to takeoff and land. I did finally buy an FMS warbird last month- The Savannah Banana Yellow T-28. Like everything else FMS makes, just solid.
I've got the Flightline Tigercat and I rank it up there with their 1600mm Corsair & Spitfire. It runs on 2 - 4 cell batteries instead of 1 - 6 cell. The Flightline F7F doesn't have quite as much punch but seems more realistic in the air. This one has been on my To Buy list however and its moving up after seeing you fly it. Thanks for the demo
i made an adapter and use a aingle 6s on thr stock motors and props, and i hit 103mph 😅 i did modify the cowlings so they let more air into the motors. i did asmeble thr props abd glued them together cause the 3rd flight with 6s it threw a blade and ripped the motor mount off the inside of the cowling from the vibrations. i did an emergency landing and tuen glued the new props and havent had any issues just used ca glue on top and under the blades to hold them into the hub... and also it takes off in the space of a yard with full flaps
Hey! Long time- that IS one sweet plane. I also think the Flightline P-38 is just that- great handling, stable as a table, and dead stick landings, no less
Im Really happy your loving the tigercat. A 10 out of 10 is awesome. I just got mine ready for the maiden i have the reflex gyro in it but have been thinking about switching up to the 637 t. Now im pretty excited to do the maiden. Was going to do it last weekend but I crashed my Bronco in a down wind landing approach and it took my mojo out of me for the day. The videos on my channel if you would like to see the crash to bad it didn't have yur stickers on it. Great flying of the tigercat bro. 😊
That's unfortunate! You got into a nasty stall caused by excessive bank angle with elevator input without enough airspeed to keep the inboard wing from dropping. Sucks that it happened, but everyone goes through it. Keep your spirits up - it's a common mistake but easy to remember to throttle up in banked turns to minimize it!
Those flybys are absolutely majestic ! Amazing plane, makes you want to jump the gap to the 500$+ planes. And I think it’s totaly worth it. Though transport will be an issue for a lot of us. I hope that some day they will come with a convient disassembly system like the one featured on the twin timber.
Great review again. What a beauty. Talk a little about the builds on the planes if you could. Some are easy and some have some issues. My fms planes always went together good. Just wondering on this model. Thanks.
Man, i knew this was good, but never knew it was that good. Way to wring out every little bit of "hold my beer" manuevers.😂 Im the guy saying stuff at the field like, lets see uf this can tumble or hover and the others are like "thats not scale flying for a cub ss." I cant wait to get my f7 built and flying.
If it can do what we want it to do, it can do anything *you* want it to do. That's why we demo them doing crazy stuff. If it can harrier, it's got easy stall recovery. If it can tumble, it's got plenty of pitch and yaw authority. Etc, etc. We're trying to mix in more scale-like flying and trying out crazier stuff all in the same video so we can hit both types of audiences.
I also fly most of my planes with gyro and Safe and just turn up the gains in both. I have older guys at my club on how i am flying and getting away with what im doing in the meantime they are crashing thiers 😂. Ive actually have started teaching some of the older guys on how to program thier receivers and getting the most out of the new technology. Yes i agree fly how want to fly as long as its safe and you're having fun. In my opinion at least in my experience it seems like most of these nay sayers on gyros it just seems like they dont understand what its really doing in the background. Gyros and Safe or whatever you want to call it doesn't fly it for you (it just smooths out the inputs). I have several family members that are airline pilots and nobody says oh hey youre not a pilot cause the computer flies it for you or pretty much lands it for you. By the way i got them into RC and they are a huge resource for me on flight characteristics, wing loading, and aerodynamics. I highly recommend to anyone if they have a friend ot family member that are pilots pick thier brains. I cant tell you how many times that they were either with me at the field or i was filming something and had an issue I.E Crash and they helped me recognize what went wrong (what i did wrong) 😢. Anyway i REALLY enjoy youre revamped channel and have been a subscriber for a good minute. Keep it up Jon. Have fun and keep doing what youre doing and hey there are always going to be haters😂. Screw'em is what i say....😂
I agree with you about letting people fly how they want SAFE, gyro, no safe, no gyro just have fun. I use safe alot on some of my twitchier edf's. I just dial up the safe settings in the receiver. Which I have had multiple comments from the " Old School fliers" on how do you not crash that plane with what youre doing.."Cause i'm flying in SAFE"...LMAO..😂..Oh go to Callie Graphics for the nose art. Yea the FMS water slides suck so for my FMS planes that have water slides I go to Callie Graphics.
I think older pilots mistake a gyro with ‘safe’ hence they say it’s not flying the plane.. when as we know they’re two completely different things. I’m going to buy this very expensive plane on this review 😗
Hi, I'm a subscriber and a longtime follower. Hoping you can help me with the problem I have with my TIGERCAT. I just received mine a few days ago and the strap that's included in the model is not in a place that will secure the battery properly. Can you tell me what you did or recommend to solve the problem. LOVE THE VIDEOS you do to help us with our models. keep up the grat work, really appreciate it!
You can probably swap out to a bigger strap if you have one handy, or pick one up from Amazon. Or use a lighter pack. 4000-class packs are what we recommend for this airframe.
Jon I completely agree with your 10 score. I love my Tigercat. Unfortunately mine flew off the workbench in a fluke gust of wind and literally broke in half so we are rebuilding it now. I’m looking forward to you reviewing the new Carbon Z T-28. I believe that will be your next 10. I highly suggest ordering the servo clips before you get yours.
We probably won't fly the 2m T-28. It's just too big and we don't have any space for it. Sorry to hear about your crash! Hope you get it fixed up soon.
If you can transport the Tigercat you can easily transport the T28 with wings off. Seriously, you won’t be sorry. I actually rank the T28 higher than the Tigercat. I would give it an 11 if I could.

so i got the flightline f7f and it wasnt slow it kept up with the eflite mustang (the 6s big one) with 4s batteries but it was anoying that one batt always loss power before the other slightly making the plane go out of trim on throttle. so i made a little adaptor and turned it into a 6S plane, stock motors, stock props, 103mph on the gps. it has unlimited vertical climb and it sounds scary. it getd a bit hot but it can fly and even climb at 25% throttle so most of the flight it runs fairly cool, i did throw a blade off a prop once and the motor vibrated so much it ripped the motor mount off the foam and destroyed the plastic cover but i 3D printed a new one,. i glued the props and they work great now no more chucking blades. although the painted tips are starting to chip from the airspeed😅
l have had one of these for about two years now it is a great flyer lots of power,but be careful landing in a crosswind it will bit you in the backside real quick the rudder is so tall it will weather vain keep alittle more speed landing in a crosswind and crab to compensate
It wouldn't make a difference with AS3X on or off, the gyro isn't active in the pitch axis when the stick is beyond 35% input, and the amount of rudder/aileron movement available to the gyro is too small to be of any noticeable impact at the low airspeed available to the wings when it's falling.
Hi @twobrosrc- just curious, you used a 4400 LIHV pack for the second flight and I didn’t see the voltage afterward? Have been flying this with a 6000 mah pack and although it flies great I’d love to get some weight out of the airplane if the smaller packs have a reasonable flying time. Thx!
We almost never show the voltage because we fly with voltage telemetry and land normally around 3.8v/cell. You should get at least 5 minutes out of a 4400 class pack.
You need to fly a Hangar 9 Fokker D7 if you want to experience one of the best ARF warbirds out there. I fly mine on 12s with a 24X10 prop and it is spectacular on the ground and in the air to say the least.
@@TwoBrosRC I like them because you have to fly them rather than just point them. After 50 years of flying everything, I have come to appreciate WW1 giant scale models as well as the full size and their pilots then and now. Some are definitely not for the faint of heart. I still fly my AL-37 when the mood strikes.
Hey John would you recommend Dubro no bouce wheels? I just would like to have it a little noisy on take-offs and landings. I have a few SMC 6000 6s 100cc batteries would that affect the balance a lot? I love this plane learned to fly on the Flightline one but this plane is 10 times better than that one. I just want to pick up some more new toys for this season.
A 6000 might have issues fitting into this plane. Du-Bro wheels are always a solid option, but we didn't feel compelled to replace them on our Tigercat.

That purpose is to control the respondent from engaging you in regard to statements made in this video which also live in a localized holographic universe! Good luck buddy!😗
I've got both and love them. I like the way the Corsair flies but it's subject to bouncing on landing. The Spit looks fantastic in the air but then you have the narrow gear to deal with in crosswinds. Still love them both.
Anyone familiar with Taranis X9D radio and Frsky S6R receiver? After watching the video on the viper jet, I bought one and installed the receiver and was able to bind without a problem. The issue I’m having is, channels 1 Aileron and ch 2 Elev are mixing by themselves. So when I move the elevator, the ailerons are moving with it and vice versa. When I check the inputs and mixes, there are no mixes set. The radio seems to automatically keep programming it as a delta wing or Vtail even though, when I create new model on the radio, I input it as a regular airplane and individual channels for the rudder, elevator, and Aileron. Need help!!
At the beginning of ur video u showed Ail….150/150. Rud…150/150. Elv…150/150. What does his mean ? How do u set this ? Why would I want these settings ? Thank u
150 travel is full servo movement. Dual Rates set to 100% with 150/150 servo travel results in 150% rates. You'd want those settings to get more roll, pitch, and yaw authority out of the model - or if you're happy with 100/100 and 100% rates, you're still going to have a fun experience regardless.
If you want one of these, you'd better get it now! The last time it was up, it sold out quick and was out of stock for months. You won't believe how good it is.

I highly recommend to anyone if they have a friend ot family member that are pilots pick thier brains. I cant tell you how many times that they were either with me at the field or i was filming something and had an issue I.E Crash and they helped me recognize what went wrong (what i did wrong) 😢. Anyway i REALLY enjoy youre revamped channel and have been a subscriber for a good minute. Keep it up Jon. Have fun and keep doing what youre doing and hey there are always going to be haters😂. Screw'em is what i say....😂
Nice flying!
I agree with you about letting people fly how they want SAFE, gyro, no safe, no gyro just have fun. I use safe alot on some of my twitchier edf's. I just dial up the safe settings in the receiver. Which I have had multiple comments from the " Old School fliers" on how do you not crash that plane with what youre doing.."Cause i'm flying in SAFE"...LMAO..😂..Oh go to Callie Graphics for the nose art. Yea the FMS water slides suck so for my FMS planes that have water slides I go to Callie Graphics.
I think older pilots mistake a gyro with ‘safe’ hence they say it’s not flying the plane.. when as we know they’re two completely different things. I’m going to buy this very expensive plane on this review 😗
Cheers, thank you!
I have one, fantastic airplane. I have patented some trailing link gear because the originals are awesome but fragile on long term on rough grass
Everything seems to be fragile on rough grass over time - it's tough on all types of models.
Hi, I'm a subscriber and a longtime follower. Hoping you can help me with the problem I have with my TIGERCAT.
I just received mine a few days ago and
the strap that's included in the model is not in a place that will secure the battery properly. Can you tell me what you did or recommend to solve the problem.
LOVE THE VIDEOS you do to help us with our models. keep up the grat work, really appreciate it!
You can probably swap out to a bigger strap if you have one handy, or pick one up from Amazon. Or use a lighter pack. 4000-class packs are what we recommend for this airframe.
@@TwoBrosRC Thanks for getting back, will do.
Jon I completely agree with your 10 score. I love my Tigercat. Unfortunately mine flew off the workbench in a fluke gust of wind and literally broke in half so we are rebuilding it now. I’m looking forward to you reviewing the new Carbon Z T-28. I believe that will be your next 10. I highly suggest ordering the servo clips before you get yours.
We probably won't fly the 2m T-28. It's just too big and we don't have any space for it. Sorry to hear about your crash! Hope you get it fixed up soon.
If you can transport the Tigercat you can easily transport the T28 with wings off. Seriously, you won’t be sorry. I actually rank the T28 higher than the Tigercat. I would give it an 11 if I could.

so i got the flightline f7f and it wasnt slow it kept up with the eflite mustang (the 6s big one) with 4s batteries but it was anoying that one batt always loss power before the other slightly making the plane go out of trim on throttle. so i made a little adaptor and turned it into a 6S plane, stock motors, stock props, 103mph on the gps. it has unlimited vertical climb and it sounds scary. it getd a bit hot but it can fly and even climb at 25% throttle so most of the flight it runs fairly cool, i did throw a blade off a prop once and the motor vibrated so much it ripped the motor mount off the foam and destroyed the plastic cover but i 3D printed a new one,. i glued the props and they work great now no more chucking blades. although the painted tips are starting to chip from the airspeed😅
Thanks
*Let the Sunshine In...*
.
Love it!! ❤❤❤
l have had one of these for about two years now it is a great flyer lots of power,but be careful landing in a crosswind it will bit you in the backside real quick the rudder is so tall it will weather vain
keep alittle more speed landing in a crosswind and crab to compensate
All aircraft will point toward the wind - that's a consequence of having a vertical stabilizer. ;)
this one more so than most my point is you have to be aware of it@@TwoBrosRC
I hope this comes available again. I am seeing "Discontinued" on some sites...
On FMSHobby.com via the link in the description, it's just out of stock. It'll come back.
Oh joy! I want this as my first warbird!
Great video. I'm putting one together now, it's a huge heavy beast. Question, would the stall test be different if as3x was turned off?
It wouldn't make a difference with AS3X on or off, the gyro isn't active in the pitch axis when the stick is beyond 35% input, and the amount of rudder/aileron movement available to the gyro is too small to be of any noticeable impact at the low airspeed available to the wings when it's falling.
Looks like fun! You definitely need a pair of power 60s for that bad boy though 😂😂😂. Do you think full span ailerons would be worth it?
Could be if you're willing to put in the work for it!
Hi @twobrosrc- just curious, you used a 4400 LIHV pack for the second flight and I didn’t see the voltage afterward? Have been flying this with a 6000 mah pack and although it flies great I’d love to get some weight out of the airplane if the smaller packs have a reasonable flying time. Thx!
We almost never show the voltage because we fly with voltage telemetry and land normally around 3.8v/cell. You should get at least 5 minutes out of a 4400 class pack.
You need to fly a Hangar 9 Fokker D7 if you want to experience one of the best ARF warbirds out there. I fly mine on 12s with a 24X10 prop and it is spectacular on the ground and in the air to say the least.
That's definitely not something we're interested in - WWI era planes just don't do it for us. Thanks for the recommendation though!
@@TwoBrosRC I like them because you have to fly them rather than just point them. After 50 years of flying everything, I have come to appreciate WW1 giant scale models as well as the full size and their pilots then and now. Some are definitely not for the faint of heart. I still fly my AL-37 when the mood strikes.
I bot a FMS plane. It is great. eflite could learn some quality control from them.
I still cannot how to connect/operate the reflex Gyro using Futaba 10J… thinking of simply ripping the gyro out and binning it
Good luck!
Hey John would you recommend Dubro no bouce wheels? I just would like to have it a little noisy on take-offs and landings. I have a few SMC 6000 6s 100cc batteries would that affect the balance a lot? I love this plane learned to fly on the Flightline one but this plane is 10 times better than that one. I just want to pick up some more new toys for this season.
A 6000 might have issues fitting into this plane. Du-Bro wheels are always a solid option, but we didn't feel compelled to replace them on our Tigercat.
Okay thanks
If you don’t mind can someone Please explain ‘ yaw coupling’. It’s the second time Iv heard it this week. Thanks 😊
It's the tendency of the airframe to begin rolling strongly with applied rudder.
Hey John what's your battery placement in this model? Thanks, i just bought this model and going up for my maiden this week!
Wasn't it visible in the vid? Pretty sure we showed it off - it stayed the same for the 4400 and 5200 packs.
Man I do miss flying RC . But in Long Island NY they keep taking the flying fields away from us .
Excuse me, but whats about Start/Landing on Gras? Did you have try that?
We don't fly off grass at the field we're using here.

Have you ever flown the flightline 1600mm Spitfire or Corsair? I heard those 2 were some of the best warbirds out there and they are very affordable.
Nope - haven't had a chance to fly anything from Flightline yet.
I've got both and love them. I like the way the Corsair flies but it's subject to bouncing on landing. The Spit looks fantastic in the air but then you have the narrow gear to deal with in crosswinds. Still love them both.
l fly mine on a 6000mnh gens ace handles the weight just fine
It does, but all aircraft tend to fly better - often significantly so - with less weight, rather than carrying more.
Anyone familiar with Taranis X9D radio and Frsky S6R receiver? After watching the video on the viper jet, I bought one and installed the receiver and was able to bind without a problem. The issue I’m having is, channels 1 Aileron and ch 2 Elev are mixing by themselves. So when I move the elevator, the ailerons are moving with it and vice versa. When I check the inputs and mixes, there are no mixes set. The radio seems to automatically keep programming it as a delta wing or Vtail even though, when I create new model on the radio, I input it as a regular airplane and individual channels for the rudder, elevator, and Aileron. Need help!!
Unfortunately not, but someone might know on RC Groups.
It most likely was the flight stabilizer keeping the wings level in the stall. I use many stabilizers now and find they do effect the stall also.
It absolutely was not the gyro keeping it stable during a stall. It's the design of the model that does it.
At the beginning of ur video u showed Ail….150/150. Rud…150/150. Elv…150/150. What does his mean ? How do u set this ? Why would I want these settings ? Thank u
150 travel is full servo movement. Dual Rates set to 100% with 150/150 servo travel results in 150% rates. You'd want those settings to get more roll, pitch, and yaw authority out of the model - or if you're happy with 100/100 and 100% rates, you're still going to have a fun experience regardless.
My left wing 3 blade propeller got damaged, trying to get a replacement 😢
They're in stock! www.fmshobby.com/products/fmsprop049-propeller-14-8?ref=2brosrc
Master aircrew do a 3 blade 14x7 and 14x9 in both ccw and cw
"Lots of warts (rivets) all over the thing" but the real thing was flush riveted.
Still looks cool.
Did FMS discontinue the tigercat
Not that we're aware of.
@TwoBrosRC Horizon said discontinued but then FMS says out of stock and they have been out of stock on it forever
I am on your Discord server. Do you not have any voice channels? I have a Discord server with lots of voice channels.
There's a voice channel but it's not the focus of the server.
May I get an invite to your Discord Server. The listed one is no longer valid.
bit.ly/TBRCDiscord should work!
Described in English with foreign measurements...sick.
The metric system is what every model aircraft manufacturer we work with uses.
Dude, don't knock a big plane! Big is beautiful in the air! Buy a truck! Don't complain to #fms about making a big warbird. SMH.
We didn't complain about it, we simply mentioned that it's massive and people intending to buy it should be aware of that.
They won't ship to my address in New Zealand. Suck
That does suck - sorry we can't help out there!
Sería más realista con motores de combustión interna radiales.jamas tendría un aeromodelo así eléctrico😡
Cool story bro.
