  • Folding wing?

    I thought I read that the bearhawk had folding wings as a standard option, but I can't find any reference to it on the forum. Am I wrong? A super rare custom bearhawk maybe? Thanks for straightening me out..... -Brendan

    Nope. No folding wing, unless it's an unfortunate circumstance.

      The wing chord is pretty wide to make a folding wing. Your width with the wings folded would be well over 8'. Also the flap torque tube would need a redesign and the lift strut would need to be removed. The wing mount system and fuel systems would need to be redesigned.

        I understand; it was just a misunderstanding on my part It's very useful for maintenance on my Kitfox and i had it stuck in my head for some reason that it was folding wing... No worries, I think i'm a convert in the making as my family grows I need more two seats....
