    I AM NOT SELLING A KIT
    ,
    only new, full-size copies of the
    PLANS
    +
    building
    instructions
    to build a 78" BOB MARTIN
    BOBCAT
    model.
    The
    BOBCAT
    is a fun T-tail, aileron equipped sailplane. Bob Martin Models produced a line of slope planes back in the 70s and 80s which included the Bobcat, Coyote, Gryphon, Katie & Katie II, Mystery Ship, Pussycat, SR7 and Talon. Bob also purchased the tooling and continued to manufacture the Hobie Hawk for several years after Hobie Alter stopped making them.
    In addition to the plans you will receive a copy of Dynaflite’s
    EXTENSIVE
    BOBCAT
    building instructions. This manual is loaded with photo illustrations and even includes details on finishing and flying your
    BOBCAT
    .
    All these planes are considered “old school” now, but the sloping community considers them among the most collectible and flyable vintage planes and Bob Martin and his planes are both legendary.
    Claiming to be fully aerobatic, with its aileron configured wings and a wing loading of between 5.9 - 6.4 ozs./sq. ft., it should make a change from burning up castor and allow you to experience the challenge of no-noise R/C flight.
    “In Bobcat you will find a model with kitten soft handling in straight and level flight, but which has a tiger in its tail for exciting aerobatic maneuvers. So go on, get yourself a Bobcat and test out your real pilot potential!”
