For those of you who know what a BearHawk is...
4 Place Stol Simple...
I'd like to Propose the "The FrankenHawk"
The Highlander Folks ought to get together With Bearhawk's Bill Barrows and graft their Landing Gear Technology and Ribblet-Airfoil-Wing with Slats and Flaps on the BearHawk.
Oh My what a Monster it would be with a souped up IO-540...

Not a bad price for the kit. Not sure what the Rotax engine would cost. I’m guessing around 10K? Those 29” tires are expensive as heck. Don’t know if they’re included in the kit?

The Rotax engines are between 23k and 39k depending how much HP you want.

Neat little plane. Would this be considered an “ultralight” type aircraft, or would it be classified as a conventional/standard type? (I don’t know a whole lot about these things, so apologies if I just asked a really dumb question).

I like 'em (Bearhawks). I'm also fond of the wag-aero 2+2 Piper PA-14 replica.

Not a dumb question. Would make a lot of difference in licensing.

You have good taste sir, they are a Favorite I hear in Alaska, replica and the real deal. The Bearhawk is easy to get in an out of, that is the 1st thing that struck me.

Oh, didn’t realize the engines were extra (and maybe the tires too). Still, I’m impressed as can be. It’s going to be interesting to see how it does when they start turning up in Alaska. Also, wonder if they have any plans for a four-seater?

It would be Certificated in the Experimental Category. I don’t think it is light enough to fall under the Light Sport Aircraft rules which is < 1320 lbs...

Bearhawk is a great performer. The PA-14/Sportsman has a number of mods that really improve performance, plus lots of aftermarket bolt add-ons like floats, skis, and etc.
Last I saw, the Bearhawk still doesn't have a float option?

Errant, They have been put on floats, I am not sure if it is supported by Bud Daviddson and his team that do the kits.

I’m sure someone has since I’ve last looked into owning a Bearhawk. Too good of a design not too, even if the original fuselage design requires a little beefing.
