Description
Hello friends. I fly and love the original RCRCM Tomcat since many years now. I still think it’s one of the best all-round slope and flatland gliders. During the last years i got more and more ideas to improve the Tomcat in several points. There where simple things like the Aileron Linkages. But also i wanted to improve the all-round capabilities. Together with my Friend Carlos Pisarello who is creating Gliders for RCRCM for years now i started drawing the plane. We took all the outer dimensions from the original Tomcat like Wingspan, Length and Aspect Ratio but we chose a higher Dihedral. Instead of 4° we decided to use 6° to make it more stable in circling. Of course this also makes it easier to handle on the winch. But, if you like you can also use the 4° Tomcat Joiner. Also we added a new profile section to the wings. So we now have a better climb rate. The Tomcat Evo climbs faster without loosing it’s performance in speed. It also makes a very positive effect in distance flying. We increased the strength of the wing with a carbon layered main spar so it’s more rigid in F3F and soft DS flying. The wing area is a little bigger than on the original Tomcat so with a little more weight we have almost the same wing loading perfectly matching the profile. The Wings now have Ballast Chambers. So it’s much easier and quicker to increase the wing loading in the slope or at the field. A very nice Thing is, we changed the Elevator from full flying to conventional. Also the area of the Tailplane is smaller than the original Tomcat. This helps the Model to speed up very quick and it improves the pressure and speed in the turns a lot. After working together since several years now i’m very happy that RCRCM trusts me and said yes to the Idea of making an all new Tomcat. The TOMCAT Evo. After a lot of testings we can now say. It’s not only a new Tomcat. It is an all new 2,5 meter X-Tail Plane with similar sizes of the Tomcat but with all new flight characteristics.
Thank you RCRCM and Carlos Pisarello for the perfect Team Play in this fantastic project. Henning Schmidt (Sansibear) ! Here is the TOMCAT EVO !
