"The Bear" photo request
« on: May 25, 2010, 06:46:56 PM »
 I've gotten ahold of an ARF Nobler that I'm considering changing up a bit to look like "The Bear" version. The Monokote will be coming off and it will get a dope finish. I'll be doing a bunch of other upgrades to it as well. I might even just build a whole new fuse, and for sure all new tail surfaces. More than likely before I'm done I'll only be using the wing from the original kit, but with new tips. Anyway, I'd like to take a look at any and all "Bear" pictures that I folks could provide here to study and get some ideas.

 Thanks in advance! H^^

Wayne, here are a couple of old Bear photos I managed
to scrounge up. I also have Bear plans available for $10.00
if you'd like to get a really good idea of the look.

Go to the "Search" Engine on the website and type in "the bear" or "Gieske Nobler" and see what "pops?" H^^

 Thanks for the pics guys. y1

 I know the Bear isn't much different in appearance compared to the Nobler, but I wanted to refresh my memory on it some. Whenever I get to my project, I might modernize the appearance even more. I'd still like to see some more pics of other Bears', I'm always interested in checking other models out for ideas.
