50.6k ChaMikey  7.7 years ago

and the Beta is over! I do apologize for uploading it a bit late, my internet was off for 3 days. but as promised! a Bearcat for 20k special! thank you all for helping me get to this point and allow me to get one step closer to being a conqueror of the site.. errrr i mean uh, platinum! yes, platinum, thats what i meant heh. totally not planning to conquer the site (or am I?).

I hope you all enjoy this beauty of a plane and may I present my thanks to :
-@NSSTancik for his cockpit
-@Seeras for clipping the landing gears.
-@AgDynamics for the alphabets
-and @Thealban for his beautiful USAF roundel.

Instructions :

* Throttle up full power and trim up at all times
*G for landing gears
*Vtol does nothing so don't touch it
*Optimal landing speed is 150mph and nose Up
*Do NOT brake above 10mph, do it slowly.

History :

The Grumman F8F Bearcat was a single-engine American fighter aircraft introduced in late World War II. It went on to serve into the mid-20th century in the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, and the air forces of other nations. It would be Grumman Aircraft's final piston engined fighter aircraft. Modified versions have broken speed records for piston-engined aircraft, and are popular among warbird owners.

The F8F 1-B Bearcat is a Single-seat fighter aircraft, equipped with folding wings (except mine does not), a retractable tailwheel, self-sealing fuel tanks, a very small dorsal fin, powered by a 2,100 hp (1,566 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-2800-34W Double Wasp radial piston engine, armed with four 20mm AN/M3 Cannons, and only 100 built.

Hope you all love this lovely special plane, another epic special aircraft that has never before seen in this site and only mentioned ONCE is coming up next! so stay tuned! (Hint --->) Cheers loves!!

    hmm thats weird.. maybe the bounce made the gear door slam the ground, try slowing down and keep the nose up, and when it touches down pull the back on the controller until the tail is on the ground @CRJ900Pilot
