The Grumman F8F Bearcat is a piston-engined, single-seat, all-metal American fighter aircraft built in the 1940s, which was commissioned during World War II. Equipped with four 12.7mm caliber machine guns in the wings, the Bearcat was used for a short time after 1945 by French and Thai forces. Thanks to its enormous top speed, the well-known Rare Bear – a modification of the F8F-2 – holds the record for piston-engine-powered aircraft on a 3 km course at restricted altitude at 850.24 km/h.

The Rare Bear Amewi Edition is a scale replica of the well-known Reno Racer with the original livery of the racing aircraft and combines perfect flight characteristics (6G for beginners, 3D for advanced) with state-of-the-art technology. The model is controlled by all axes (transverse, height, side, motor) and is self-stabilizing (gyro) in 6G mode. This stabilization prevents the aircraft from slipping over and only allows for a limited angle, so looping, rolling or inverted flight is not possible in this setting. However, if the high-quality 2.4GHz transmitter is switched to 3D mode, it is also suitable for dynamic aerobatics. All of the standard figures described above are then possible without any problems. If something does go wrong in the air, the P-40 can be switched back to 6G mode with just one push of a button and immediately returns to a stable flight attitude (rescue function). In addition to these features, the model is equipped with a receiver board that allows operation with e.g. Futaba or other 5V S-Bus receivers as well as DSM receivers with a 3V output. Thus, the model is not dependent on the supplied remote control, but can alternatively be used with an existing transmitter.

Highlights:
Receiver board with 5V output for S-Bus receiver and 3V output for DSM receiver
Elegant paint finish in Reno Racer design
6G and 3D mode switchable on the transmitter for beginners and advanced users
