I have ten flights on the Bearcat and I love this plane! It flys as good as or better than my Top Flite giant scale P-47 and P-51. The Saito engine is the perfect match for this plane and gives plenty of speed and power for big warbird style aerobatics. The plane does every maneuver that you would expect a warbird to perform and a few more to boot. Everyone who sees it fly is awed.
The plane provides remarkable value....good construction and assembly, a beautiful cockpit with detailed instruments and pilot, and a great covering job; and the optional retracts are working flawlessly. Nothing bad to say for a $600 warbird.
