I'm relatively new to the Kougar Club so to speak. Purchased one at a swap meet, re-powered it and here we are.

It's by far one of the...

RE: Sig Kougar Build

2 degrees of downthrust helped out a lot. I only made 2 flights today <15+ MPH winds> and should know more Saturday with lighter winds.

Man, this is one nice landing model!

Kougar maiden went off ok. Just a few minor glitches.....

RE: Sig Kougar Build

Thanks Bill

I placed pins at about 1/2 and 3/4" back from the LE at each ting tip. Then I connected a string, and marked the wing nearest the fuse.

I'm slightly rearward of the 3/4" CG...

Scorpion 4020 12. On 6S it turns a 12x12 @ just about 10,000 RPM. It’s costing me 72A <static> on a 6S LiPo. Under load...

RE: Sig Kougar Build

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but when I pulled the motor off the Kougar I think it weighed in the 9oz range! If all goes well we will try and fire it up tomorrow and see...

RE: Sig Kougar Build

Ok now I'm TOTALLY confused. That seems like the C of G <balance> point is way too far forward. I mean 1/2" from the LE, along side the fuse with the model inverted???

Could you please recheck...

RE: Sig Kougar Build

Guys

Just picked up a used Kougar at a swap meet. Powered by a OS 40P Max H I hope it's enough motor.

Anyways, can I ask what the C of G and suggested control throws are?

Thanks!
