The Bearcat was an awesome
brute! It was the smallest fighter that could
have been designed around the powerful Pratt
& Whitney R-2800 Double-Wasp engine. It
gave the Navy the edge over existing Japanese
fighter types. Although it was never used
in air-to-air combat during World War II,
it provided the Navy's first post-war line
of defense.
FFC and
Cactus Aviation bring you a perfect 23.5%
replica of this W.W.II heavy metal warbird!
The Cactus Aviation Bearcat is an all fiberglass
composite airframe. All surfaces have the
same characteristics as the real thing -
fabric covering, panel lines, flush rivets
and simulated sheet metal are all present.
Control surfaces are hinged like the real
Bearcat. Wing and horizontal stab spar tubes
are pre-installed. Bulkheads and gear wells
are pre-installed which saves you assembly
time. Slow flight characteristics are second
to none. On step, this bird is solid and
grooves as if on rails.
The Cactus Aviation
Bearcat can be ordered in white, navy blue,
or silver gel-coat. No painting is necessary!
The Bearcat is race legal! Your Cactus Aviation
Bearcat will be the center of attention
at the flying field.
