New Bearhawk First Flight

[jaredyates]

Chuck Morris flew his Bearhawk last week for the first time. It's a 4-cylinder Lycoming and he's in Michigan near Detroit, and that's all I have for details so far. Chuck doesn't do email and such, but folks who have been regulars at Bob's picnic will remember seeing him there.

Congratulations Chuck! Looking forward to hearing more about his adventures.

Congratulations Chuck! Hope to see some pics soon!

Did he scratch build?

I believe it is almost entirely a scratch build, if not all. Here is a video that his wife sent of the first takeoff.

How long was he at it? Thanks for the video! It looks like a 3pt all the way to lift off. Is that pretty common for a first test flight?
