How could you not fall in love with that plane

Beautiful airplane, sweet sound of that 5 cyl radial is awesome. Deano is certainly the best pilot I have seen. Mick did a great flying and the build is incredible. Keep em coming, Cary

My compliments to Deano for performing a great test flight - complete with stall test. You just don't see that enough. Beautiful plane. A Saito FG60 triple looks like a great candidate for that plane as well.

Glad you enjoyed it mitch, in fact the saito in the model is borderline on the power and had to be flown on full throttle most of the time so was in fact under powered im afraid,

I Love Radial Engines. Beautiful plane

Mick has a winner there. What a beautiful Bearcat! Deano has brilliant skills, and set her up nicely, and of course the cinematographer is second to none. Mick now has a very cool video of the maiden with him at the controls.

Another great video. If it was me, I would never fly that model again, all I would do is start it and listen to it idle in the pits until it ran out of fuel....what a glorious song it sings.....

If you have a new plane to be flown in, Deano Coxon is the best RC test pilot you can get. This boy flies from a very young age and I don't know anyone as talented as he is.

Great job filming that one Pete and a hell'uva job flying by that young man Deano. Nice to see he takes care of us oldtimers like that. I must say however, both the filming and the flying just have to take a back seat to that radials song when she's singing. Take care and stay safe...............Gary

Is the field as small as it appears? I noticed what looked to be a diagonal landing. If so, flying difficultly or flying skill could be unappreciated. Good job landing.

Wow - nice plane, cool sound and great flying! I am just finishing mine and wonder about the CG. In Manual 170mm others say ca. 155mm. What CG did you use?

@ 6:53, phone rings. It is the Pilot phoning the ground crew to say ''chaps i am having a Ball up here. The Bearcat flies on rails''. Congrats to Mike and Deano on the build and test flight. The Bearcat not only looks the part, but, love the sound from the 5cyl Radial. The prop says it all ''CLASSIC SERIES''.

May I suggest that use of a Neck Strap to take the weight of the Tx will help you fly much more easily with relaxed fingers, hands and arms. Nice video, very nice model, thankyou from me who flies at pdarcs.com.au
