Where would someone find a scale prop like that?

Hey John,
I know Frank Tiano used to carry one. I will be calling him up after the 1st to ask about that and the drop tanks, rockets and other 1/5th scale items he may have.

I have also gotten a few emails asking about the Bearcat progress....
ask and you shall receive.... http://airrayinc.com/a.r.i._in_progress_i.htm

Turning the American Eagle semi kit into the -1 is turning out to be a pleasant challenge. The kit as received lends itself more to the -2 in the empanage, but -1 in the forward fuse and cowl. Need to talk to Bob about redoing the mold on this for sure. As this is my second one, and the third in my Group, everything flying wise about the plane is great. I am even thinking of adding some ballast weight so that the plane can set down in a more scale fashion rather than ground effect from the lift that wing creates. This would be a first for sure. It would be quite the site to see the plane almost as slow as a trainer before finally running out lift.

Specs are on American Eagles site. The Felix The Cat bird at the bottom is my old airplane. Thats the same scheme this new one sill be, but this time I will have the correct airframe for the markings, so I dont get dinged so bad at Scale Masters this next go round.

Cool, thanks. I have a 82" NWHT bearcat, and was looking to see if I can find same scale bombs, cockpit, prop and such also.

Are you still looking for picture of the KZ Bearcat? I have a fellow employee that has a annual pass. I'll try to get the pictures if you still need them, however I don't think they will let us close to the cockpit. Let me know.

John...you should be able to get a close look at Bill Anders Bearcat at Olympia or Arlington (if you haven't already), since he lives just across the water from you.

....it is absolutely immacculate!!!
