Brah! Holy crap that looks great man. The fastener detail adds so much. You gotta email Steve at Chino and make sure he sees that.

Nothing like a freshly painted hot rod!

[@paulcarruthers1314]

Great tick over

[@JustPlaneChris]

Fantastic work, Brent! I recently finished a "resto-mod" on a vintage Great Planes CAP-21 .60, and they always turn out to be more work than you thought it would be. Very satisfying to bring one back to life though. Looking forward to the flight videos!

[@flymachine]

Im such a fan

[@Air-Jon]

Hol-e $%&@! what a difference a crap ton of work by Brent makes! Glad you got ahold of this rare bear. Sweet restomod dude! Nicest bearcat model i've ever seen!

[@johngriecosr8723]

Great looking Bearcat now Brent. Nice finishing job. Maybe I missed it what brand of paint's did you use. Gives me incentive to build my zeroli Cat.love the looks. John from Hayden Idaho

[@bradalgra8088]

Gotta have Steve's white helmet and tan flight suit! Looks amazing Brent. You must handle that thing with cotton gloves. Did you put any coating/wax on it?

[@txkflier]

It's too shiny! It looks great. I could never put that much work into one, plus it wouldn't look anywhere near that good.. 👍

[@txkflier]

What was the cause of the flutter? It appears to be fixed in the latest video..

[@hechtspeed]

The elevator flutter on first flight? Incredibly flexible elevator torque arms. Noe has direct connection and servos in the stabs. No issues now :)

[@ritchiethorup]

Super sweet ! ? What model is it

Thanks!!! 1990 vintage norwegien model products
