Default Looking for a larger F8F Bearcat

Lost my 4-flight-new 1/6th Thunder Tiger F8F last Sunday after flying it into the early rising sun. Cannot believe how stupid I was - I knew better than to fly that end of the field.....and yet, wound up there anyway. Just a moron. Gonna be kicking myself for a long time after this one.

Anyway. Looking for a replacement Bearcat - the big Thunder Tiger or ESM or VQ are the preferred, altho a Jerry Bates or a Jack Devine or similar might be great too. I am looking for the standard Navy sea blue version, not a big fan of the Rare Bear types. New, used, electric, gas - what do you have that needs a new home? Hoping somebody has one that they are OK with moving out.

If you're a serious Bearcat fan then this is the one for you: replace the stars with the word giants and you'll get to the correct ad

I found this ad and another for a second Bearcat on Flying Giants and posted your ad on their For Sale threads....hopefully something works out for you and one of the sellers

Always glad to help folks buying/selling/looking ..... I've been in the same situation and others have stepped up to help so I can do no less!
May your pursuit end in success and some great flying days ahead

Whoof! I would love a 3W - but they are waaay beyond my scope, $ and skills.

Thanks very much for your time. I wish I were up to your Bearcat.
