Professional engineer Bob Barrows originally designed the Bearhawk to carry engines for his engine rebuilding business in 1995. He offered plans for sale and over 1000 sets have been sold with an estimated 350 aircraft under construction and dozens flying.

Carry Four People, Full fuel, AND 250 pounds

The useful load, depending on engine and builder ranges from 1150-1350 pounds, so the 55 gallon fuel tanks can be filled and four full sized adults carried with room left over for at least 250 pounds of baggage or cargo.


Cargo Bay With Large Doors
The back seat can be removed resulting in a huge cargo area with unobstructed access. Not only does the back seat have it's own door, but the door combines with the cargo door to allow a six foot loading area

CONSTRUCTION:
The Bearhawk has an all metal wing with fabric covered steel tube fuselage and tail feathers. A Cessna windshield and the fiberglass nose bowl are some airframe components that need not be built by the homebuilder. The builder time is estimated at 1500-2000 hrs. There are no complicated fittings or parts that the homebuilder would not be able to make. Access to an 8 ft. sheet metal brake, a welding kit, rivet gun, clecos, air compressor, tin snips andbasic hand tools are all that are needed to build this aircraft.
