  • Bearhawk model B wing vs Patrol wing?

    Is the Patrol wing interchangeable with the new Model B 4 place wing?

  • #2
    While the Patrol and Model B wings share the same chord, profile, and span as I recall, the Model B wing has internal differences that make it stronger for the 4-place weight difference. So are they interchangeable from a dimensional standpoint? MMmmmmaybe... Don't have the Model B plans in front of me to be sure. But if so, I don't think you'll gain much other than the weight of the internal differences. Mark Goldberg will likely be able to set the record straight for us.

      The Patrol wing was designed for a 2,000 lb gross weight plane, and the Model B wing using the same airfoil was designed for a 2700 lb gross plane. Mark
