I guess this goes in GA: Last night, I was reading in one of my magazines and came across an article about the Bear 360 that’s recently come out. Has anyone seen this yet? It’s basically an updated P-51. Taildragger, supercharged 9 cylinder radial, with a newer cockpit - it looks like it’d be a blast to fly. I’m an old warbird fan, so the general public probably won’t be as receptive as I am - still, I love it! There’s just that $$$ thing…

That’s a very cool aircraft! I think it looks like a mini T-34? 🙂

Now that I see it with its gear out, it does look like a P-51. They need to make one with more of a bubble cockpit, then it would really look like a Mustang!

Haha - flying the “fagot” huh? (Can I say that? That is it’s legit name. 😆 ) I had to watch the video to see who was flying. Glad it’s not Max Moga - that guy seems to have all the fun in those warbirds. Good luck on the glasses!

This is a nice bird. Skip’s been working on this for about 12 years. It’s modeled after the Bearcat (hence the name) and resembles the Bearcat more than a Mustang. It was built to race at Reno in the sport class. I believe he had problems with partners bringing the it to market or we would have seen it years ago. Its debut was at Oshkosh this year.
