This was a really nicely built F8F Bearcat out at the Scale Squadron Warbirds & Classics event. The model was built from Nick Ziroli plans and was nicely finished with panel lines and rivets (about 20,000 of them!). The model was powered by a Saito FA-450R3 3-cylinder radial engine which flew it well and sounded great! Oh, and the model featured the scale folding gear just like the full size (made by sierra giant) which were sweet! #bearcat #rcwarbird #scalemodel

About my favorite model of yours...and I even was stationed on the USS Midway; though not when Bearcats roamed her deck. Ever think of the greatest Naval aircraft of all time...the Hellcat?? (unless I missed it scrolling through your videos).

I get to muster every morning at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pcola Florida. There, they have one of these on display. While all the other aviators chit chat, I go over and see the Bearcat and the Corsair. I can never decide which one is my favorite warbird.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE the Bates F8F. Ground level camera is FANTASTIC!! That 3 cyl radial actually has Pukata Pukata like the full scale. Love it. Thanks a million for posting! I must finish building the pattern planes. Then get hot on the scale kit's I've started!! I also have a 40 & 60 size F8F kits. Will build the 60 size & fly it in preparation for building & flying the 86" F8F. Thanks Mitch

That Saito fg radial 😁

Who else Fast-Forwards to see how smooth the landing is!?!? Especially warbirds... landings separate the "Men from the boys"! This landing was nice. (Did you notice the rescue chopper in the background?... they used to ground the models when they were in the neighborhood....usually training)

You’re not alone, haha!

Nailed that landing, impressive. I love bearcats.

Hard to go wrong with any of the Grumman cats! 😁

@Clouddddxjzjs552 2 года назад

Gorgeous!! Love all of it especially the landing gear

@PhilBender612 2 года назад

Incredible looking, and the sound of that radial is so awesome. I need a gas/nitro powered plane already. I haven't had a gas powered plane since my control line days as a kid in the 90s.

@johnw5734 2 года назад

Wow, beautiful detail. Saw a full size one do a flyby a few hundred feet away at an airshow once. I could sense the weight and power as it went by, kinda scary.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

The bearcat was a beast of a warbird!

@octane2099 2 года назад

I actually saw one in last weeks air show I have a video of it on my channel flying with a Corsair both from planes of fame out of chino Ca

@ModelAV8RChannel 2 года назад

That gear! Nice. I wish MRC would make a 1.6m with the scale gear like that. Most model Bearcats just don't look right with super wide gear.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Agreed! I’d love to see a little larger bearcat with scale gear. I’d get one in a heartbeat

@MWall711 2 года назад

Great plane! I have the little brother from Flightline. It's fun to fly ... although I added some invasion stripes on the bottom to give a bit more contrast.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Awesome!

@derjoh1986 2 года назад

Where is this airfield in California exactly? I usually fly at Whittier Narrows .

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

This is the OCMA field next to Irvine Lake.

@derjoh1986 2 года назад

@@Thercgeek oh! The place you have to pay a annual fee to fly at. Right?

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Well, most fields require that. This is their website: flyocma.com

@derjoh1986 2 года назад

@@Thercgeek Not Whittier Narrows. I've been going there over 7 years. Totally free Monday through Friday. Over the weekend and holidays you may pay a $6 fee just to get onto the park main grounds , but it's free to fly at the field with your AMA card. Now, there is a club that fly at the field. I believe you do have to pay a certain fee to become a member, but it's free to fly on the field otherwise with your AMA card. I may perhaps take a drive down to OCMA and check it out. Thanks for the quick response.🙂👍
