<p><b>The F8F “Bearcat</b>” was Grumman’s last piston engine fighter to conquer the skies. First taking flight in August 1944 and powered by a massive Double Wasp engine, the Bearcat’s performance was superior to many jet powered aircraft of the same era.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>FlightLine presents an exciting&nbsp;<b>1/9 scale</b>&nbsp;flying electric replica of the F8F-1 Bearcat. This EPO foam model assembles easily in minutes and features a scale profile with many plastic detail parts such as spring-loaded inner gear doors, highly detailed cowl and radial engine, and removable cannon barrels. The 1200mm wingspan removable wing is easy to transport and strategic carbon reinforcements provide lightweight strength. The Bearcat’s magnetic hatch reveals a large battery compartment. Cooling airflow is channeled over the battery and ESC compartment.&nbsp;<b>Large flaps</b>&nbsp;help stabilize the aircraft for very slow and controlled landings to accomplish that perfect carrier landing!<br></p><p><br></p><h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b>FEATURES:</b></h4><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Model officially licensed by Northrop Grumman</p></li></ul><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Removable main wing/elevator for easy transport</p></li></ul><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Efficient motor for speeds up to 120kph/75mph and 6+ minute flight times</p></li></ul><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Intuitive internal structural design for optimized cooling of all electronics in the fuselage from the nose to the tail</p></li></ul><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Large cabin space for easy placement of the battery, radio equipment, and gyro (optional)</p></li></ul><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Improved spinner and propeller mounting design to enable better balance</p></li></ul><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Optional upgrade complete nylon hinge set included in each box for free</p></li></ul><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Tall foam rubber 65mm diameter main wheels and additional forward rake angle for operating on short grass runways</p></li></ul><ul style="font-size: 13px;"><li><p>Electric retractable landing gear with metal trunions, metal reinforcement plate and 4mm steel wire struts</p></li></ul>
