F8F-1 Bearcat: A Legendary Historic Aircraft.

The F8F "Bearcat", the last piston-engined fighter developed by Grumman, made its first flight in August 1944. Powered by a Double Wasp engine, it outperformed many aircraft of its era.

With over 1,200 units produced, it saw action in conflicts from Korea to Vietnam and served with the US Navy's flight demonstration squadron, the Blue Angels, between 1946 and 1948.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Blue Angels, FlightLine RC has developed this electric radio-controlled warbird model, officially licensed by Northrop Grumman, to inspire a new generation of passionate pilots.

An easy-to-transport and high-performance RC plane.

• The F8F-1 Bearcat RC is designed to be practical and high-performance:

• 1200mm detachable wing: Facilitates transport while ensuring great stability thanks to carbon reinforcements.

• Magnetic access hatch: Provides optimized space for the battery and allows the addition of a flight stabilization gyro (sold separately).

• Efficient cooling system: The airflow is directed above the battery and the controller, improving heat dissipation.

• Large functional flaps: Allow for soft and very slow landings, ideal for safe and controlled flight.

• Optimized Power and Range

The F8F-1 Bearcat RC is equipped with a 3748-580KV brushless motor and a 4-blade propeller, providing impressive power for aerobatic maneuvers and a speed of up to 120 km/h with a 4S battery.
