Great clip. I like their solution to the cowl twist/wing root extension issue. Looks like it should work well.

Lots of racy airplanes, but I have a feeling it's Rare Bears year.

I think you make a good point. It seems they have been working steadily on her since the trip to Texas and from the looks of it in the video, they did a mighty fine job on the changes. After watching this video and the one in the other thread, I am super jacked for this years event! Regardless of what happens, its gonna be a great year!

I've had to have watched this video 10-15 times by now. The Bear is back

Watching this clip truly makes you appreciate the crap pile of parts that Lyle had to start with and what an amazing feat to bring the Bear to not only flyable status but make a winning racer out of her ~ I've know Lyle personally, flown with him, and was on the Bear crew and know for a fact he just was not a quitter

Kinda like seeing a hot girl you used to "date" that decided fake t*ts and duck lips are "hot". There were alot of plans/ideas mapped out for the bearcat from some very smart people that never got implemented due to finances and other issues. I'll always root for that airplane regardless. Wish the new crew all the best.
