[@mikebird8290]

HI RICH THANKS FOR SHARING AND THANKS TO WES/MRC FOR SURPLYING THIS ICONIC PLANE 🇬🇧🇺🇲✌🏼🤩👍🏼

[@WesMRC]

Oh yeah can’t wait to do more

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Lord. I got one these and not put it together yet. lol. I need to get busy. Lookin good Rich. Wesley, Lori trained you right in the cam. Well done you two. 👍👍😉

[@MotionRC]

The force was strong on that landing 😂 nice flying hotshot it’s fun getting these true first impressions videos.

[@jonoedwards4195]

Great Demo. Rich, What,, no takin off call? Looks alone, the Bear is hot!

[@RCINFORMER]

No one but me and Wes were there... there's no one to call to:)

[@mikebird8290]

HI JONO MY FRIEND ✌🏼🤩

[@txkflier]

I like 1500mm to 1700mm, but you can throw a 1200mm in the car assembled..

[@airhammer6203]

Good stuff Rich, thanks for sharing with us. AirHammer out!!

[@RubyS.1]

I like this "discovery" style review.

[@RCINFORMER]

Yea, it's cool! He literally just brought it out for me to fly. I can give some real impromptu commentary & fly it for a first time without ever seeing the model prior to this video review:)

[@mikessi]

Nice flying Rich and good camera work Wes. The Bearcat is a little hot rod.

[@PoochAndBoo]

Nice airplane. I have the old Arrows Bearcat. They fly very nice. One thing, though. The 2800 in "R-2800" referred to the engines size. It was 2800 cubic inches. That engine was about 2000 horses. It didn't see service in Korea. It never saw combat with American forces. It did with the French and Vietnamese in Indo China.

[@RCINFORMER]

I also have the Eleven Hobby Bearcat(same model), it's nice!

[@PoochAndBoo]

The Bearcats have a very similar layout to the T-28. And we all know how well they fly. @@RCINFORMER

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

@@RCINFORMER Me too! Got a spare NIB as well.

[@txkflier]

They were 2240 to 2250 horsepower with a 12’-7” prop..

[@robc5296]

Your field is coming along nicely. My club runway is paved 19 by 300 ft - just too narrow- especially in the typical crosswind we have. Your plan for a 30 by 300 foot runway is ideal. Have you considered throwing some cheap "blue" tarps down ahead of time to kill the grass before installing progressing sections of your runway? It might help smooth things out. Love the channel.

[@RCINFORMER]

Good idea! We wanted to test it out to see what happened with zero prep work first. We just pulled up the runway to mow & rake under it... then we put it back down. We used the runway itself to kill the grass:) Check out the community tab post I just posted!

[@IceMan2035]

Glad to see y'all doing these videos together. The only question I have could you change it out to a 6s 5000 6s battery as long as I change out the ESC and the motor? Don't really have any 4s batteries and just don't want to buy a bunch

[@RCINFORMER]

You could try it. Not sure what would happen:)

[@johnsons74thsquadron74]

Lots of scale detail for a 1.2m. Very nice warbird!!

[@MWall711]

I have the older version of the plane before the stickers were applied from the factory. It looks great and flies nice but the landing gear are very weak. The small wheels, forward rake and no suspension will tip it over when landing on grass, as you saw in the video. Both landing gear have been ripped out of the foam when hitting bumps on the roll out.

[@RCINFORMER]

It needs pretty smooth grass to not flip over, also use HI elevator travel for taxiing with the stick back!

[@MWall711]

@@RCINFORMER Agreed.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Great one Rich, great you have Wes with you. Do love the bearcat. You guys doing a great job with the runway. 👍🏻

[@WesMRC]

It’s been great working together!

[@williewideback]

I'd love to see this F8F Bearcat in a 1600/1700mm version

[@RCINFORMER]

Yea, a larger one would be nice!

[@itzjoeylo4501]

Wes, have you ever considered Futaba content? Transmitter settings for a 10J maybe 🤔 I’ve been having a very slow learning curve going from standard 6 channel radios.

[@RCINFORMER]

I may do some in the future. I've had many Futaba radios in the past & they have all been good!

[@WesMRC]

Maybe at some point. I’ve done a few quick tips on the 16IZ just nothing to crazy yet.

[@toolbaggers]

Whatever runway you think is 'enough' is actually a quarter of what you want. Twice as long and twice as wide. 🤔

[@RCINFORMER]

The final permanent runway will be twice as long and twice as wide:)

[@txkflier]

20’ x 400’ would be good for my EDF’s..

[@winnerwolf9546]

Great looking plane point out the chintzy prop adaptor ....😢 Get 90% right and 10 % the most important thing they skimp out on 😢 Very disappointing still a nice platform

[@cameronbrasch6121]

Hi Rich thanks for the video this is a great plane with the nice wide landing gear. Myself and a few mates at my club have been putting the eflite v1200 motor in this model and the flight line La7 as well. Running them on 6s 4000 5000 size batteries. There good for 240km to 250km depending on the prop size. We have to put in plywood motor mounts to get the motor sitting correctly so not to be slick way out the front of the model. Thanks for your video as always

[@RCINFORMER]

Sounds fast!

[@cameronbrasch6121]

Hi Rich regarding the speed we achieve with these planes that’s 240 to 250kph in mph that’s about 150mph not in a dive but in level flight. I learnt pretty early with this conversion that you need to fit nylon hinges especially with the elevators as I lost my Bearcat after about 20 flights. Put a bit to much trust in the foam hinges 😀

[@Shauncat1]

Rich and Wes, some of my favorite rc pilots. Greetings from Durban South Africa

[@RCINFORMER]

Hey Shawn! Thanks for watching:)

[@WesMRC]

Yea man thanks for the compliment ❤

[@stephenrickstrew7237]

Does this one have the jettisonable wing tips ..?

[@RCINFORMER]

No explosive devices:)

[@JustwingitRC]

Hey there Rich, I'm in total agreement with MotionRC, I really like these "first impression" videos as that is the purest form of truth! Great job on that flight my friend, I'm really liking this Bearcat...MotionRC and FlightLine did a great job on this one!

[@RCINFORMER]

He's literally just bringing the planes out, and i'm flying them for the first time:)

[@JustwingitRC]

@@RCINFORMER Pure awesomeness!

[@WesMRC]

He might have to start paying me to be his pit crew at this rate lol

[@JustwingitRC]

@@WesMRC For sure Wes!

[@eriksbej22]

Where is your new field, just moved here I live in Orlando now

[@RCINFORMER]

It's in Bushnell, FL.

[@eriksbej22]

@@RCINFORMER Who would I contact to join the club

[@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846]

Is this bring your buddy to the field day of Motion rc videos. lol If you keep this up Motion might send you some free planes and knock old Wess out.. Watch out Wess I'm seeing a squeeze play..

[@RCINFORMER]

Na, Wes is the man! I was actually the first & original video demo guy for MOTIONRC way back at their beginning when there were only 2 guys working there! My day job flying full scale keeps me way to busy to fly as much R/C as I would like to:) Our current situation makes it easy for me to do more of these videos because Wesley just brings out his models & hands them to me to fly:) We are both having a lot of fun setting up the field & flying!

[@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846]

Ya I know your a busy man.. Lol And yes the good old days when it was so simple.. Just pulling your leg Rich Good to hear from ya the field is looking good pal.

[@WesMRC]

Na I’m not going anywhere (ever) lol your stuck with me. Rich can be my wingman anytime 😂

[@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846]

O YAY..

[@sanexup1038]

Carrier landing!

[@ror-ys3qp]

too small

[@RCINFORMER]

its a good size!
