Rugged Bearhawk models ready for the backcountry

Bearhawk makes rugged kitplanes with plenty of horsepower for backcountry adventure. We got an in-person look at a couple of models to see for ourselves what makes this airframer punch above its weight.

My Companion kit arrives in a few days, gonna be a beast for sure

[@catslab]

Sure it will ! I’ve been looking for a plane that could go remote and do some cross country and then Bob made the companion ! I might start from scratch my #1610 next year :)

what went wrong with your S21?

[@Bearhawk_Life]

@@plantpower3048 Power Plant, the S-21 was not mine, I had full access to it for a nominal hourly rate. It was a great plane, but not the perfect plane for my mission, so I am building a Bearhawk Companion

@@Bearhawk_Life is the wing the same as the Patrol? even if Patrol has 200 pound less gross weight?

[@Bearhawk_Life]

@@plantpower3048 Yes, same wing as the patrol, but GW of 2200#’s

I'd love to see the cost breakdown to build the LSA for 60k to 70k using the quick build kit when it costs 45k by itself.

Best buy in experimental aviation.

The bearhawk looks to be very popular

[@johnelliott4521]

Would be nice to go to location and do control surfacces. Aluminized fuselage would a nice option.

[@FromTheHood2TheWoods]

This is a LSA??

[@flywithaopa]

There is one LSA model, the others are larger. They are all kit built.

[@Captndarty]

They just seem disproportionate and odd looking.

Hard to tell with stick in 👏
