I work on a real Reno air racer called "Rare Bear" I would like to see someone build a model of it if they could.

Having admitted to working on Rare Bear you are now required to provide copious amounts of reference material...to expedite any modelling efforts someone might make, of course. :)

Shouldn't be too bad. Take a stock Bearcat clip about 2.5 ft off each wing, lower the canopy until it almost does not exist,remove the flaps, and give it about 1000-1500 more HP.

Yes the wing/ailerons are "clipped"at the tip. Two rib bays I think. Hell because it flys with the wing vertical most of the time they don't use ailerons much. www.rarebear.com has alot of pics on it. They are damn stubby little things. You can leave the four blade prop because they may be switching back.
