NEW Legend Models VQ 79.5" 30cc F8F Bearcat!
Anyone noticed there is a new Bearcat on the market at JB Hobbies? Mine should be here thursday! Stock just came in this past weekend. Excited to get started! DLE35RA is on its way as well. Seen a review on their Dauntless, it looked really cool, so cant wait to see the F8F!
Ill post up more pics and a build when I receive it.

If it is as good as the Dauntless it will be a winner for sure!

Hate to be a PIA but while you have the tape measure out could make some measurements on the retracts. Strut length and mounting plate dimensions would be nice to know. Also, are they 85 degree type retracts? Since retracts tend to be one of the weakest links in most of these ARFs I'm just thinking ahead about alternatives.

Neat single servo driven inner doors
Interesting note on last page to only clean plane with kerosene to keep covering from fading?
Ive never cleaned a plane with kerosene before ... Just used It as fuel for turbines!
instructions show electric install. Curious how large a 10s pack I could fit up front ... Assuming it is naturally tail heavy and avoiding adding lead at all costs.
