Love the build Andy. Just starting my 1/3 Balsa USA Fokker D-7. I’ve built many crutch ships over the years. Looking forward to seeing how you doing. Terry&ThePirates South Florida
Andy, first really chilly morning in southern New England. Your upcoming build series almost makes me look forward to winter. Press on, sir. BTW, if you would, please do some footage of your multi-piece sheeting technique.
Andy , look at rcscalebuilder touch of cloth he built 2 of the ziroli bear cats first one was with the Robart and the second is with the Sierra retracts great builds
Awesome airplane to build Andy The bear cat is my favorite of all time I want to know many more details Where you will get your canopy and your cowl ? Is is national balsa still cutting this kit I want one really bad I'm subscribed and we'll be following this thread I hope you will do at least 2 videos a week as you progress Awesome job brother
Thank you Andy I just looked up the kits on national's site Not a bad price really Do you like the ziroli better than the Bates ? You are definitely awesome at covering When I build my bear cat I would really like to do a trimmed canopy version of rare bear Is the Bates canopy Lower ?
Fine and beautiful work !I watch your videos with great interest. I would like to build a Bearcat F8F-2 with a 62 or 64 inch wingspan (55 long) for a dle 20 engine. Could you please advise me on a wich airfoil to use ( room and tip) for the wing ( selig 8036 or naca 24012, or other?) Thank you
I want to start a Ziroli Zero but I'm not sure what wood company to buy from , can you steer me into the right direction ? I've built smaller planes but never a large one like a Ziroli Zero.
@@DonDegidio some have been waiting over a year for there kits! Mark also stated that if you ask for a ETA he will not send it to you. I wont do business with him again.
Glad I read your reply. Was going to call them tomorrow. It's been four months since I sent the check. Was hoping to do some building during the winter months. Still have the A3J Vigilante long kit. Wanted to order the foam wings, stab, and fin from Eureka, but they seem to be MIA. The plans do show those templates, so may give a go at hot wiring them myself. Always enjoy the videos. You and your family stay safe.
Appears to be progressing nicely. I couldn't agree more, an excellently flying, less-than scale plane is far better than a perfectly scale brick.
Sure to follow this build and so glad your building again Andy.🤠👍🛩️🇿🇦
Very nice I bought the plans 50 years ago Please keep me posted

@@FF-es6nt I'm not to familiar with all the different airfoil types but whatever you choose just make sure you add some washout at the tips.
Sweet build! Mike c

Buy the complete kit from national balsa
Love those Chipmunks
Veeeeery nice!!
Hi Andy,
Great start to the Bearcat. Like the Rocketeer poster on the door. What lead time did you have for the Carolina Customs Chipmunk?
Hey Don, not sure what you mean? Been flying the Carolina Chipmunk for a few years now.
How long was the wait after you ordered the kit? Website mentions could take several months for delivery.

Are u going to cover that with monokote?
Most likely not
What servos you plan on using
Most likely Pro modeler 270's
careful it builds up on your noise hairs
beauty
Are you using CA throughout?
Ca and wood glue
N1111L?
Nope!
Can't I alone understand?
Andy I say we should have a law against gyros in planes they belong in drones
Were do I sign!
Oh, I could screw it up😂
