I put the 4000 battery all the way forward as well but it was still tail heavy. I didn't put any weight in my first Bearcat but this new one needed the extra nose weight.

Strange..........
Might be the perfect airframe to install a 650 kv into.
That and the 1400 mm Corsair prop work amazingly!

I have done this and you are right, it is amazing.Originally posted by Grossman56 View PostComment

no point in adding dead weight when you can add more power!
I had to add a bit of weight to the rear of the fuse in order to get the CG, this one may not need it.

Right side retract door will not close. All ready had new left wing shipped because retract didnt work. First motion rc plane, the door hangs open after the retract closes. Adjustments, or just return the plane, any help appreciatedComment

Did you check to make sure the wire closer is still attached to the door? If It still is attached, try bending it so that the wheel will pull it closed.Originally posted by Mikeinlutz View PostComment

Those pins can be a pain. Mine close most of the time, when they don't I just fly, I worry more about the gear coming back down than the door closing. I can operat mine several times on the ground and it'll work fine, but in the air the wind bends the pin slightly I guess...answer, bend the pin slightly forward, have to try that.

Wire is still attached, the retract pulls it part way closed, wont go all the way. Closing it with a finger it will not close correctly and stay closed, where do put the magnets, pics?Comment

Retract doors are sources of perpetual need to adjust linkages. Part of life with "complex" models.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbsComment

BEARCAT gear doors are just a pin and two magnets on each door 1 to hold it open and 1 to hold it closed make sure ll your magnets are there..no linkage to adj.

I had one of these at one time and then this happened and made me very sad :Crying:Comment

so is the stated cg correct? I was thinking of using a 4500mah since a lot of you guys said it needs weight up front ight as well be more time then lead.Comment

I had to add 6 ounces to the cowl interior. Epoxied around the dummy radial out of sight. It seemed like a lot, but it balanced exactly on the CG, slightly (3 degrees) nose down... Flies absolutely great. I am using Admiral 4000 packs. 4S. Warbirds like the Bearcat will eat your lunch if they are tail heavy... I like Grossman's solution of more power up front instead of lead!!! :Cool:Originally posted by Mad Baron View PostComment

I put this set-up, 4258-650, in 3 of my Bearcats. Two are the FL 1200mm Bearcat and the other is my 11Hobby Bearcat. Paired with the prop from the 1400mm Corsair, they definitely improve the performance!Originally posted by Hardway View Post
If I remember correctly, I am using the 70 amp FMS ESC in all 3.
