Hey guys, after selling my Kingcat years ago I just bought it back yesterday, it was offered back to me at a smoking deal so I grabbed it. I will be putting an air start Pegasus on the airplane and was looking at the mounting set up and wondering if spacers were used with a Pegasus. The small angled aluminum blocks are on the jet but the mount spacing would end up being very very narrow if I use the AMT band mounts. I suppose it is supposed to use the BVM mount for the Pegasus typically? Or what have you guys done who put AMT's on this jet back in the day?
Thanks in advance!

I have everything you need as I had to retire a Pegasus KC from a bird strike in air, IT would be the carbon pieces and aluminum blocks and ears ready for straps, I have straps to but you should have those. I also got flex plates, I am headed to swap meet so it will be late tommorow before reply, make me an offer to motivate search.

I also have a Zero time Pegasus SP 30lb thrust, Air start original ECU that has zero time on it with the upgraded TC that does not need the hook bend. $1500 OBO

Not sure if it helps but this is a pic of my Kingcat with an AMT280 (pretty much the same as a Peggy and also an air start). I sold them both years ago and don't remember any of the specifics on the engine mount other than what you see in this pic.

Thanks Craig,
That's what I needed to see, and what I suspected. Need to get the mounting tabs I guess!

Indeed it has my friend, indeed it has. She still looks pretty good, but part of me really wants to do a refinish on it. It's got quite a number of new scrapes, chips, and some damage to the underside of the nose. Part of me says just fly it as is, but the other part says she's lived this long and been flown as hard as she has been, she probably deserves some new clothes.

Time for a facelift! My bobcat has 150+ flights on it and quite a bit of wear and tear.. it's stripped and getting a new paint job soon��

Flew my Bobcat XL which has not seen air time for 2 years, the ole Mercury roared to life and was surprised to see 142K on the MAX throttle set, must be the cool fall temps. Anyway I had forgotten how cool the gear multi hole plates create a whistle on landing attitudes, I like the look of this ole school jet as it has the Bandit fuse shape over the GUPPY composite version.

I prefer the bobcat xl myself. Here is mine. Would actually like to replace the P70 on it with a mercury one day.

Since flying season is about over, why not redo it. Winter project. Unless of course you have too much on your plate already. Good luck, it looks cool.

My vote if redone, anything in a faux Coast guard and House of color fl orange, Dont care how young you feel that HOC orange allows one to see for a mile....

Plus it will glow in a jet lineup in the mags, its like moths to a flame for humans......

I was told that the Velox XL is a copy of the BVM Kingcat, and on my Velox XL I put a AMT 450 at 45 pounds and it think its a great pairing. I know you got a lot of AMT laying around, I would love to see a Kingcat with a AMT 450.

Very different airplanes actually. I thought about an Olympus on there but I got a deal on a Pegasus I couldn't pass up. Truth is when I owned it last I had a prototype booster with 44lbs thrust and much lighter than an Olympus (450). It was great fun but I was flexing the wings flying it. I have this problem with my left hand. There is a disconnect between my brain and my thumb on that hand that allows it to operate rudder during flight but keeps the throttle pinned all the time. I should probably see a therapist about that lol.
The Pegasus will be just fine. Even with an Olympus it still wouldn't be a fast as my raptor or firebird so I'll keep it a little more fuel efficient this time and try too keep the wing tips from touching.
