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, including:
Fuselage mods
Mods status
List of mods/status/opinion/to-do:
- Skylight -- Needs finish welding
- Profiled horizontal stabilizer using wood rib extensions -- Rib extensions arrived from akschu
- non-servoing electric elevator trim using a BristolSG servo -- Mounting brackets design with Hogan and cut
- Gullwing-style seaplane doors
- Float fittings -- Undetermined route
- Additional grab handles on upper longerons forward of horz stabilizer -- Purchased Maule handles
- Straightened the profile of the back stringers to be straight by adjusting saddle heights
- Tail beef-up with vertical members -- On the fence
- Tail belly pan with stringer termination crossbar -- To do
- Extended baggage -- Now known as the "Schubag" mod -- In process
- Shoulder harness mods -- Additions to the fuselage to route shoulder harness and attach inertial reel
Wings
In storage until fuselage is completed.
