So here I am buying tools, getting my shop set up, and getting ready to look at partially completed builds for an RV-10. I even had plans to put in ER tanks, and maybe by the time I was ready the CD-230 would be far enough along they'd have a complete FWF kit to offer. Recently I've been getting into more back country flying and was imagining a SuperSTOL as my second build, perhaps far in the future when my first build is paid off, then a colleague tells me about the 4-place Bearhawk...
It really seems like the plane to fit my mission, though I do have a few questions:
Is the 4-place a solid IFR performer? I don't know much about fabric covered aircraft but I think the answer to this is yes.
Has anyone thought about putting a CD-230 in one of these? I haven't been able to find anything related to diesels except for auto conversions which is not something I'll be doing.
I appreciate any advice for an undecided builder, thanks.
