The Other Project In Bears Old Cave

While I was shooting pics of Bear I figured the inquiring minds that roost here would want to see this.

Kinda reminds me of a Mercedes I shoe-horned a Chevy big block into...WWOOOOOEEEEE!!!!!

But seriously, it seems ... short! I'll be interested in what kind of control surfaces they put on this ... piece of mechanical art.

She is, indeed. One would wonder how far they will go with her since the dissolution of the partnership between designer and owner?

Have they been working on her recently?

T2 Buckeye wings and empannage, F100 nosegear, 3350 on the nose.

Engine in place is junk hence the rust, hung for mockup purposes.

Hasn't been touched since November when the sheet metal geniuses were let go.

In the immortal words of many race fans "crap"! I've been looking to see this done and running since I first saw it in there a couple of years ago during the races. Hopefully.........

If I may de-lurk.....here's an old thread:

This project has had me excited for quite a long time. Hopefully, the new owner will complete it. Not trying to stir-the-pot, but I'm thinking that maybe he should retire the Bear and use the engine on this thing.......It has a proper 500 kn wing unlike a bearcat, i.e. not so prone to mach-tuck at 540+ mph.
