RE: KMP F8-F Bearcat

Hi, I had the MVVS/Evolution 26cc in my Bearcat, and while it was no pylon racer, it had more than adequate power for this plane. If I were to build another and I had a spare MVVS/Evolution 40cc I...

RE: KMP F8-F Bearcat

RE: KMP F8-F Bearcat

Hi Bhume, on the yt web site they recommend a 180 4stroke or a 26cc petrol, mine had a 26cc petrol and it performed very scale-like. I think a saito 150 would be adequate where as a 180 would be much...

RE: KMP F8-F Bearcat

I have since swapped the heavy alloy tail-wheel with a light weight plastic jobby and moved my 3200 2s flight pack and 2200 2s ignition pack onto the firewall and was able to lose 11oz of nose...
