Experimental build - 1.7m F8F Grumman Bearcat

Got a few photos of the Bearcat in the air this afternoon after the thunderstorms cleared and it turned into a perfect flying day. Some modifications to the take off trolley have solved the problem I was having where it would actually be carried up by the plane after takeoff. Became a significant problem if it got stuck on one wing - had a nasty crash that way that forced the modifications. It’s now working reliably and the big Bearcat is an absolute pussycat to fly. It’s true - big does fly better!
