This section highlights the specific features of the Push-E Cat that separate it from the competition in
terms of survivability, ease of building and application flexibility:
- First and formost, the EPP foam used in constructing the Push-E Cat allows us to design a structure
that absorbs and dissipates energy without destroying the structure of the airframe. The strategic use
of packing tape reinforces the foam structure and redistributes the energy of any crash.
- Our extensive use of router and hot wire tooling have made the Push-E Cat one of the most heavily
pre-fabricated EPP models on the market. This has significantly reduced the amount of work required to
build a Push-E Cat.
- The tail group is made out of corrugated plastic just like the California
combat slopers.
- The fore-aft orientation of the wing retention dowels, coupled with the use of non-locking electrical
connectors between the fuselage wiring and the wing wiring, allow the wing to pop off of the model in a
hard impact. This reduces the energy imparted to both halves of the aircraft during an 'impact event'.
- The wing retaining dowels are installed into tight fitting 'carriers' without glue. This allows broken
dowels to be quickly replaced in the field.
- All radio components are accessible through surface mounted hatches for ease of repair or replacement.
- The modified V-block motor mount design allows the builder complete flexibility in selecting a power
pack for your Push-E Cat. The mount easily accepts Speed 400 motors up to Speed 480 class ferrite,
cobalt, and brushless motors without modification. 7 inch or larger props can be accommodated by
adding spacers to the mount during construction.
- Our assembly instructions are continuously updated to reflect new lessons learned and new techniques
to ease assembly. Always check the current copy online before building your Push-E Cat.
