Finally got my F8F! Ziroli, still a kit, but..
man this is the nicest kit Ive seen, picked it out of the RCU classified a while ago and just got it today, Precision cut kit, and its amazing, they labeled everything. So much nicer than I thought it would be. The scale retracts will be along tomorrow I hope.. Im thinking a GT80 will be enough for it? I know they are heavy and good smooth warbird motor should work.
Got one arf 3D plane to get off the building board then its Bearcat time.

Also, how strong a servo you guys think will be enough? I was thinking 70oz+? I want it to be fairly fast, so I dont want flutter.
Also, I had saved a page of a Bearcat build up, and lost the link, so if anyone knows of any Ziroli bearcat builds on the net, please share the link.
Thanks

Hi John,
I'm running a gt-80 in my Vailly FW 190, smooth and enugh power, and I'm using 8411 on the elevators and rudder, 70's on the ailerons!
planes are almost the same size, hope this helps!
also check Evan Quiros's web site and check out his bear!

hi john
as far as servos go i am using hitec 635hb in my bearcat. i have just started sheeting the fuselage on mine yesterday. so far this is an easy building airplane. just as easy as the p-47. good luck with yours. i am going to use a brison 4.2 engine in mine. should pull it along very easily
