FLIGHTLINE F8F BEARCAT Flight on a 10' runway at The RCINFORMER AERODROME

The RichGras180degreeTurnManeuveur xD hahahaha cool!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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..

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

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

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

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

Carrier landing!

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!

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

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

Rich wants a bigger hole.

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.

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

too small

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

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

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

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. 👍👍😉

Does this one have the jettisonable wing tips ..?

I like this "discovery" style review.

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.

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

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