Following on from the highly successful F6F Hellcat, the US Navy F8F Bearcat was faster and more manoeuvrable than its predecessor. The first deliveries began in May 1945, however many contracts were cancelled with the announcement of V.E. day. The plane was employed by the French in Vietnam and by 1948 over twenty Navy squadrons had been equipped with Bearcats.


Built around the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine, the airplane featured a smaller airframe and weighed only 2000 lb. The F8F Bearcat is the most powerful single-engine aircraft ever built. Designed by Grunman, the plane outperformed other fighter planes in regards to speed, take off time, climbing time and combat manoeuvrability.


This detailed radio-controlled model is almost ready to fly (ARF). Choose between a gas or electric motor to propel the lightweight frame made of balsa and plywood. The two piece 2020mm wings are connected by an aluminium spar and can be detached for easy transport.


All control surfaces are pre-hinged and installed on the F8F Bearcat. The hobby plane features fibreglass cowling, electronic retracts and struts, and a large scale hatch to allow you to easily change the battery out. Complete the weathered detailing by adding the decals and taking to the skies.

A real winner

May 17, 2018

Bearcat is a fantastic aircraft. Very light for its size. Mine weighs 19 ponds with a 12s 8000 setup for 10 minute flight time. The plane will glide forever, so full flaps are required to land on any normal runway. The struts are very long so the connecting narrow pin will bend on the best landing. The strut take net 60 pounds to fully compress which is a little high and needs damping grease. I added some minor reinforcement in the LG area and will go with softer tires.

Quality model

Aug 16, 2017

So far, very impressed with build quality, covering and materials included, especially the E-Retracts. This will be an electric build for a Warbirds event. Will update again if still on HK site.
