The Bearcat Speed 400 was featured as a construction project in the January, 1999 issue of Model Airplane News. Like its Hellcat stablemate, it's an easy to build warbird of balsa and foam construction. It's designed for a 6V Speed 400 motor on 7 or 8 cells. It can also be powered by the AstroFlight020 brushless motor.

This is a complete laser-cut kit, and high quality Sig balsa is used throughout. Fuselage construction is conventional balsa, and the wing is foam sheeted with 1/32 balsa.

For best performance, I recommend the following flight hardware: 6V Speed 400 motor, Graupner #1328 prop adapter, Graupner 6 X 4 prop, 8-cell KAN-1050 NiMH battery pack, 20 amp BEC speed controller and micro radio gear.

 The kit includes all materials needed for construction:
