    Default The Bearcat is a great flyer.

    This is a great little plane. Axi 2212/26, 8x6 prop, 1300 lipo and wow! A few clicks of down elevator was all she needed. Very easy to build in one day. I used graphite tube for the elevator push rod instead of wire. The fuse opening for the pushrod could be diecut in advance because it was hard to line up the proper depth and angle of the opening. I doubled up the depron under the nose just in case of a rough landing. Plenty of extra foam is provided in the kit. The recommended Krylon H2o paint worked very well. Emblem decals provided are moderately ok. The numerical decals were much better. CG right at the spar flew very well. She slowed right down for soft landings in the grass. Rolled great. Tight loops. Nimble, yet very controlled flight. I'm very pleased with this plane. I can't wait to get one for my son to build.

    Great to hear it, you could also apply some clear tape to the bottom to protect the foam.

    I have to agree that this plane is a great flyer. No trim needed for mine once the CG was correct. Flies like it's on rails!

    Here is my short video from the other day.
