Is this the Al Rabe Bearcat? I Have the plans for his gas model.

Mike,

The CC software version is 2.23. 

Fernando,

This is the original Al Rabes Bearcat design to fly with something like a ST46.  In its day, it was considered a big airplane. It is Classic Legal.  The newer BBQ Bearcat is about 20 percent larger and is designed for 60-90 engines.

Hi Fernando,

I am an Advanced Flier and builder. The Bearcat was somewhat challenging for me.  I built three wings before I got it the way I wanted it. The first one was like the plans.  Then I switched to the Tom Morris system.

To save weight, I formed the top and bottom fuselage pieces from 1/16 balsa.  The tail feathers were built just as shown on the plans.  For Electric, do not install motor mounts (I did at first but then cut most of it away).  Plan on mounting the motor on Former number 2.

Good luck with your project.
