Awesome Sound - CY 84-inch span F8F Bearcat Review | HobbyView

[@HobbyView]

So, I used a different type of narration (in the build portion) in this one. Audio quality issues aside, what are your thoughts on it?

[@muonwap]

sounded great! loved the video.

[@unknowninvictus2520]

A great format overall. Really enjoyed it.

[@whoknows8225]

very nice

[@ScottPDX]

Seems good, I like the cleaned up detail, and humor that comes from post audio. Yeah, that first audio almost made me close the video, it could have used the poat narration as well. Super job overall though, thanks for sharing.

[@CrazyQuadBrothersP3]

AWESOME WIN ON THAT FITZ! Was cool meeting you at the Richardson Swap Meet a little while ago with Lee. You guys are very cool! 👍🏻💯

[@TheRekitter]

I liked the review style as well as the demo. Really looks like a nice flyer. You always have loved the "problem solving" part of the hobby anyway when you build. Great solutions, by the way.

[@tex148th]

I've watched several of your videos and reviews.. Great work , thanks a bunch !

[@BlandDeuce]

Beautiful Planes Congratulations, enjoyed the build

[@superleeds1966]

I like when you dont edit out your faults, I learne from your videoes. :) Merry Christmas from Norway

[@cliffdavis3247]

Really enjoyed the build with periodic looks at the instructions.

[@muonwap]

love showing your thought process and how you fix any issues. Im very knew and have not built much so it helps us noobies.

[@pharaohvwe2475]

What a beauty of a plane. I really like the scheme it came with, and that engine!

[@MyZxcvb12]

Good job in the build and flying. You did well with having a dead stick landing 👌

[@michaelmitchell5909]

That thing is incredible. Love the engine...

[@CalebT_RC]

Good save man. Glad it's in one piece.

[@ficosk8]

Very nice video! I’m on minute 15 and you make it look so easy! 🤣

[@ficosk8]

Just your voice in German was a bit annoying. I changed it to your original one 😆

[@HobbyView]

@@ficosk8 , wait, what? You can translate my voice into German? Stimmt das?

[@ficosk8]

@ ja das stimmt!! The video even started on German without I changed anything 🤣 I think it’s a new feature 👌🏼 now you can speak Japanese too probably 🤣

[@av8tore71]

I have the same plane and had to make holes that are not there but should be. Another great video!!

[@menotu8440]

Very nice. I'm sure once you get all the little bugs out it will fly like a champ!

[@mikechappell2377]

great instructional video real life stuff

[@scotteldridge3740]

Beautiful & sounds fantastic!

[@SkipGetelman]

Love the video awesome plane😊

[@imbok]

Good save on the dead-stick. That coulda been a whole lot worse! Great airplane, I'm sure it's impressive in person.

[@toolbaggers]

Great success! 👍

[@icin4d]

Very nice build. Anything Bearcat getting an automatic like.😁 Love your builds. Just an building observation: Your prop TE to cowl LE has what I would call quite a bit of space. Mounting the ignition system behind the firewall (avoiding excessive direct heat). Then opening the firewall to allow the use of shorter standoffs, reducing the fore mentioned gap and reducing some balancing weight by bringing that beautiful (but heavy) radial engine closer to the CG.🙂

[@HobbyView]

@icin4d , good eye. It's that way because of the rear-facing carb. Any furthor back and the venturi will be past the firewall into the fuse interior. I may experiment doing that later, when I do some cooling mods.

[@jayaustin3096]

I really enjoyed that video. Hope to see a second one so we can hear that baby thump.

[@markanderson5342]

Awesome!

[@jasonharrop98]

What a great plane

[@johne9562]

Finally, a real engine !!! 😀😀

[@ficosk8]

Looking forward!!!!

[@petercyr3508]

At the Jetero RC Warbird Ralley in Oct my wife won the Seagull Models/Legend Hobby 87" Corsair. She is letting me build it. I got the gear and servos. Deciding on the engine. Saito 3 cyl 90 would be cool, but they seem to have issues.

[@flymachine]

Oh dear, I never cut a metal exhaust on the engine - especially inverted like that you’re sending metal dust and shards into the exhaust ports! Great build and a beauty of a cat. There are some gorgeous 4 blade props that would run well on that engine and really finish her off. Paint those baffles black please! Nicely done. Check out Hecht speed on YY who is an expert on the Bear.

[@rickdavid1795]

Very nice

[@ericmatson117]

Love your comments

[@martyw72]

Nice dead stick save, you were pretty low and still pull it out. Do you have an all-up weight for the plane? I am considering this one.

[@brianscutt6298]

Awesome warbird! I was wondering if they have a scale cockpit and some guns for the wing's that they would sell as an upgrade?? Thanks!

[@michaelNiehoff607]

I love these hobbyview videos.

[@toolbaggers]

Can you make the exhaust exit thru the bottom? The pilot doesn't want to breath in the fumes and the exhaust crud from blocking his canopy view.

[@randyherbrechtsmeier9769]

I'm just getting into the Large ARF Gas. I've purchased a Dancing Wing Albatros D.V It calls for a 20cc engine. I have a 30cc. What are your thoughts on using a larger engine? The weights about the same. Thanks!

[@HobbyView]

Should be fine. Able to swing a larger, more scale prop at a slower speed. should sound good. Likely less nose weight needed as well.

[@richardboyd8580]

Wow great plane! You really scored on this one! Love the build I love your build videos can tell you know your stuff.

[@richarddarlington3229]

Nice motor...

[@samuelcruz9258]

Is tochy in the elevador because the short distance to the cg. I have a 63 in. no flaps . Its a nightmare to land . 😂😂😂

[@HobbyView]

@samuelcruz9258 , apparently all Bearcats use very little elevator throw.

[@samuelcruz9258]

@HobbyView . Estoy de acuerdo 👍

[@MrDudefication]

Never cut carbon without respiratory protection

[@jayb2617]

that is tail heavy, very twitchy

[@NCPD25]

Great bird! Did it come painted/detailed or is that your work? I grew up a few miles away from Grumman (Bethpage, LI) and a few miles in the other direction was Fairchild/Republic (Farmingdale). Thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays! Greg

[@HobbyView]

Yes, it came completely painted like that.

[@alliejr]

Same. Father and Uncle worked there. I also did during summers building F-14s
