Unusual for me to come to the field for a second days flying on the weekend but I did yesterday which was good because I was fortunate to overhear Gazza (who was parked next to me), discuss that he was selling a few aircraft. So I now the new proud owner of his 1400mm Rare Bear.
It was good to read this thread to gather info about the plane, particularly battery selection. Also good to note the care required for take off - I've noticed a considerable amount of torque roll on my much smaller Mustang (also 4 blader) but hadn't really understood the physics of what was going on. As just stated by Gazza, I'll have to be conscious of building up airspeed on takeoff (with my Mustang as we'll - I actually broke the 4 blade prop on the Stang yesterday as a result of bad torque while starting my roll out).
Gazza, might borrow you for a check out flight on the Bear for my first flight.

it all comes down to right rudder / slow increase of throttle / and take off speed with these tail draggers . once your aware of these things you get used to em , but learning all these things and flying them scale like is a challenge and satisfying fly .
