Bearhawk N813Z

This will be my build log, task list, and information store for the various projects on my Bearhawk 4-Place quickbuild kit.

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.

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 N6956B
