<big>This will be my build log, task list, and information store for the various projects on my Bearhawk 4-Place quickbuild kit.</big>
[[File:Aug2015-rear-seats-5-2.jpg|class=img-fluid]]

 
This is a refactoring of this [[Bearhawk_N813Z_Build_Reference|original index page]].
 
== The Story ==
This wiki is mainly to keep personal build notes. My Bearhawk is a 2007-era quickbuild kit from Avipro. I began my project in January 2014. In order to have the airplane I want, I've decided to do many modifications to the original design.

<div style="background:#d7e9fc;padding:12px;">
'''Update November 2023''': In October 2020 we pulled up anchor from Oregon and moved to northern Minnesota. This put the project into an indeterminate status where it was just stored in a hangar in Oregon. That, combined with a focus on getting my other aircraft (a tailwheel Pacer) flying, has caused more delay.

I will continue using this wiki for my main log and build notes. In the meantime I am focusing on the restoration of [https://n6956b.bushplanelab.com N6956B]

Tail belly pan

2026-03-30T21:16:02Z

Bpladmin:

This is really a cool mod in my opinion, though with my new trim system it's not as critical as it would have been with the pushrod actuated trim.

I'm modeling it after Paul Minelga's design, which adds a small steel crossbar at the bottom of the tail longerons to provide a clean stringer terminus. Instead of fabric under the tail, a thin aluminum belly pan will be attached to tabs.

I have rebuilt this core engine after it suffered a prop strike during a gear-up landing in a Piper Aztec in 2014. Nearly every component of the bottom end was in good serviceable condition save for the crankshaft, which was cranked at an oil cross tube. Replacement crankshaft is from a O-540-F1A5 out of a Robinson R-44.

This has been the most thorough and complete task of the Bearhawk build thus far.

I hacked out the existing formers that were meant for fabric, and replaced them with 3x8 square tubing that matches the airfoil shape of the wing root.

I used a 1/2" square tube as the rear crossbar. Plexiglas or Lexan will cover the entire surface.

=== To do: ===

*Turn fuselage upside down and finish weld the formers to the posts.
*Fill the front round tube stubs while welding.
*Weld large stringer saddles onto crossbar.
*Weld tabs to inner formers
*Drill outer formers and rivnut
*Buy plexiglas

This wiki is mainly to keep personal build notes. My Bearhawk is a 2007-era quickbuild kit from Avipro. I began my project in January 2014. In order to have the airplane I want, I've decided to do many modifications to the original design.

<div style="background:#d7e9fc;padding:12px;">
'''Update November 2023''': In October 2020 we pulled up anchor from Oregon and moved to northern Minnesota. This put the project into an indeterminate status where it was just stored in a hangar in Oregon. That, combined with a focus on getting my other aircraft (a tailwheel Pacer) flying, has caused more delay.

I will continue using this wiki for my main log and build notes. In the meantime I am focusing on the restoration of [https://n6956b.bushplanelab.com N6956B]
