They turned out very well....

Well Sports Fans....Picked these up in hanger rash condition....They just needed some love-paint and new fittings. I'm just a nut for these jets...they fly so smooth and slow down nice for landings. Both have new decals as well.
The Navy T-33 runs a silver sapac motor on 4S...Had one of these before and Porcia got her from me....I know when he sees these he is gonna be Peed off...
...CC-60 with matching CC BEC....Good flyer and Im gonna keep this one since my Pop flew this paint scheme in the Navy.
The F-80 has Alaska Air Guard (I theeenk) markings...Running a Mega 16/15/2Freewing 80 amp ESC on 4S...Needs a BEC..Sweet markings and scale paint to my best ability.

Just finished my 299th and 300th flight on my Cermark Banchee. I have had this plane since 2005 with a couple of minor mishaps so you could say I baby her nowadays. Added wheel pants a few years ago for looks....She has a
Mega 22/30/3 swinging a 15 x 8 prop on 4400 4S packs...Average flight time without three d'ing is about 18 minutes in Sport mode. That is about 90 hours of flight time on this airframe.

Seven months of on and off building....Thanks to Larry aka- Speed-E-flyer for the inspiration to complete this plane...No instructions but all custom throughout....Originally for fixed gear, I fitted with electric retracts. Running on Twin Turnigy 3020/12's with a TP 3800 3S 45C batt with Twin P-35's spinning 10 x 7's. White automotive Laquer with custom trim work. Even added the de-ice boots . Have a few short list items to complete, weight balance, some taxing up and down the street etc as well as some warmer weather and I will take her to the sky.

Well guys, I'm about 99% done with this plane....Just tested motor and taxied up and down the street....This is my third Tigra build, My second in the hanger and the other one belongs to my good friend Speed-E-Flyer. Motor is a Himaxx Contra set-up, custom made firewall with Twin Phoenix 45's and a Turnigy 5000 ma 3S 45C battery. Thrust to weight ratio is a lot better than 2-1 so she should really haul arse.
Props produce very cool sound and hope to maiden tomorrow if winds die down. I just have to add some graphics, pin stripes, and a little tuning and she is ready to fly !
