Bearcat for FSX

The recent F8-F for FSX has a kid driving it. The pilot has to be larger. The Bearcat was a tiny airplane, about as big as a J-3 Cub. The pilot filled the cockpit as can be seen by the picture of Butch Voris.
Also, the brace on the canopy only was on the prototype and the panel should be black.
I worked on these airplanes when at the Flight Test Hanger of the A&R Division at NAS Jacksonville. At that time, they were known as the Navy Flight Exhibition Team, not the "Blue Angels".
The first ones sent, we had to clamp 100 lbs of plumbers lead on the tail hook. They were sent back and a new set of planes replaced them.

Originaly the pilot was too big, can,t remeber the guys who shrink it but i recall the topic about it..Long time ago right after I made this "98" texture that everybody "borrows" without asking, from my original upload at simviation.
