E-flite Rare Bear PNP – Unbox and Thoughts

This is the first look at my new E-flite Rare Bear. I’ve always wanted a larger version of the super-fast little HobbyKing version and E-flite came to the rescue with a foamy version that is supposed to do 100 miles per hour out of the box (with a 50c or better 4s lipo).
As you'll hear in the video, I refer to the Rare Bear as a Parkzone instead of an E-flite. My bad. To me they're "exactly the same thing only different" lol but I was wrong to call it a Parkzone. Thanks go to geneticallyinferior1 for bringing it to my attention!
Thanks to Cam at Go Go Hobbies for getting me one as soon as he could. It drives me nuts when I see Horizon products popping up in other parts of the world long before we get them.
The video pretty much says it all, at least as far as first impressions go.
Five minutes to throw it together, another hour or so to change the esc connector, install a receiver, program the radio, set the throws, check the CG and she’s good to go.
I can’t wait to get the maiden/trim flight out of the way and let her stretch her legs.
In the video, I talk about trying to get 150 mph out of her with a crazy 6s setup. I shouldn't have said it will be fairly easy because it is probably wishful thinking but it sure will be fun trying!
Thanks as always for watching and I’ll see you again as soon as I get a chance to get some video of her in flight.
Edit: Here is a link to the maiden flight:
