    He's in France this weekend... There were a few mads he made to the Firewall which are detailed in the Bearcat build thread...just to strengthen it up.

    I'm after a 38 to put in mine but can't fine one anywhere... everywhere has sold out... Non at Weston or Wings & Wheels last week.

    No mods required to the exhaust thats why he wen for the 38 as the exhaust was behind the engine so fits in well and as far as the weight...non extra required as far as I can remember as the Z38 is the right weight.

    Ask Richard though he is Pylon on here.

    I will let Richard tell you about the retracts... The new YT ones are different from the old ones I have them installed in mine and they look ok and operate well too with the retrictors in place.

    Hi David,
    Back from France where I flew the Bearcat and Tigercat. I would recommend the Zenoah 38 most strongly as I feel it is an ideal powerplant which also provides the ballast upfront required to gain the correct CG. I also used the std exhaust which comes with the 38 and just added 2 x 8mm downpipes to exit the cowl.I use a Menz 19x10 propellor. I have at present the blue YT retracts fitted, but will be upgrading to the latest air up, air down versions. Contact YT for details.
    If I can help you anymore please contact me.
    Cheers Richard.

     Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry
    Today I flew my Bearcat at the Kings Lynn Scale day which was very good. However, I have lost my Bearcat, it went into failsafe during a low right hand circuit, the engine went to idle, the rest of the controls being in hold mode. Due to the steep angle of bank the wing tip hit the ground resulting in a cartwheel God Give me Strength It is a complete write off Cry  I am gutted.
    Cheers Richard.

    I hope my 38 is okay. The only good news was it did not have far to fall Whistle trouble is those 38 cranks are known to be weak so fingers

    Like Vulchers round a carcas.....

    If you don't go with another one and you have no use for the Exhaust on your 38 let me know mate... but would be good to get them both in the air sometime so go in that Garage and pick through the bits...

    Anyone got a Trumpet?... Says in the instructions of my 38 that performance improves using a trumpet.... Does this mean I have to get a brass band when the Bearcat flies?   

    HAs anyone got one that fits a 38 or do I not need one?
