That's just sick! I'm sure it's built strong like bull if Yakovlev is building it. Keep it looking like a fighter on the panel and interior. Leave the MFD's for the Cirrus crowd Webbing for seats & steam gauges! Keep it retro! Hardpoints plummed for fuel??? WE NEED A FLY-BY VIDEO!!
Dude..you need to watch the video again. Skip comes right out and say's the airframe is constructed in Russia by Yakovlev in Orenburg. Final assembly done by Bear Aircraft.
Oh didn't hear that, sorry about that man. It's a cool looking airplane, but in no way is it a warbird. It may fly like one, or even feel like one, but to me a warbird is an airplane that has either served in a war, or has served in a military.
I think the term is more loosely used with regard to the Bear 360. A P-51 or F-4U induce a bit of insurance panic just rolling the thing out of the hangar. If you want the round sound and partial performance of the real deal without the hear-attack operating costs..I think that's what they are intending.
"Like a P-51 or a Mustang"...isn't that the same thing?

"Experimental Exhibition" category is not viable in the US. Offer a kit like the Radial Rocket, and then you may have something.

Bear Aircraft is making the airplane, not Yakovlev.

Kind of looks like a tail wheel T-28.

I wonder what the price per hour is? What does it handle like? Can you find an A&P locally that will work on it?
It would be neat to see some in flight video.
It does look like a fun plane.
