Overview

The nice line-up of Arrows-RC that is available at Aerobertics, guarantees quality aircraft that fly very well, straight out of the box. Our demo pilots already tested a number of these aircraft, and were very impressed with the flying characteristics, nice (scale) details and their price/quality ratio. The Arrows RC models are delivered as 'Plug and Play' kits. This means that you hardly have any assembly and/or construction work and you will be able to fly the aircraft on the field in no time. In the product description below you will find everything you need to know about this aircraft, but do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Our experienced specialists will be happy to help you, so your flying experience will certainly be a pleasure.

 

After the war the Bearcat filled out 24 squadrons and outperformed the early jet fighters, until being replaced by the F9F Panther and F2H Banshee during the Korean War. Subsequently the Bearcats went on to serve with the French in Vietnam as well as Thailand.

In civilian use, surplus Bearcats dominated the Reno Air Races for decades. A highly modified F8F named Rare Bear set the world speed record for propeller driven aircraft at 528mph in 1989.

Arrows faithfully recreates the F8F in exceptional realism. Despite its compact size, the realistic landing gear, retracts, panel lines, functional flaps, pilot and auxiliary fuel tank were all replicated realistically. The preinstalled 40A ESC and 3536 850kV power system is adapted for scale and sport flight maneuvers. For scale lovers, the Bearcat awaits!
