Here is a press release that just went out. The pictures on the release did not show up on what I copied and pasted. But maybe Mike will add them if he wants. Mark
Bearhawk Aircraft Announces the Formation of Bearhawk Canada
AUSTIN, TEXAS, MAY 30, 2018 – Bearhawk Aircraft announced today the formation of Bearhawk Canada. An agreement has been made with Mike Silvernagle in Saskatchewan to represent Bearhawk Aircraft in Canada for sales, service, parts and support of the three models of Bearhawk aircraft kits.
Mike Silvernagle will base Bearhawk Canada operations on a 2,500-foot grass field in southeastern Saskatchewan where customers can visit to check out the Bearhawk lineup and experience demonstration flights. After having flown all three models, the Bearhawk 4-Place, Patrol and Bearhawk LSA, Mike’s enthusiasm for how well the planes fly motivated him to want to distribute the kits for these planes in Canada.
Mike’s background in aviation started in the Canadian Advanced Ultra-Light Aeroplanes (AULA) category of aircraft. Having built and flown various makes and models, Mike became an instructor for these light planes. More recently, Mike owned and operated a PA18-160 Super Cub, an Aeronca Champ and a Cessna 185. Comparing the Bearhawk line of airplanes to those he had flown convinced Mike how much better the Bearhawks were and the benefits of operating in the experimental side of aviation in contrast to that of certified aircraft. Mike feels the Bearhawk line of aircraft offer many advantages for Canadian pilots who often use their planes to hunt and fish in the backcountry and visit the numerous rough-field and shorter landing strips.
Mike recently purchased a flying 4-Place Bearhawk. He is also nearing completion, after six months of construction, of a Bearhawk Patrol built from a quick-build kit. Mike will follow with the construction of a Bearhawk LSA quick-build kit. His background in lighter planes has given Mike an appreciation for the flying qualities of the Bearhawk LSA, which Mike considers to be the best all-around flying airplane he has ever flown. Mike plans to take the Bearhawk LSA through the approval process for AULA in Canada.
Remaining part of the Bearhawk Canadian team, and supporting Mike, will be Steve Busby of Aerolite, www.aeroliteflight.ca, in Ontario.
The Bearhawk is a Go Anywhere aircraft that performs a variety of flying activities. The 4-Place Bearhawk fills a utility and transport role extremely well with its large cabin. The Bearhawk Patrol is a tandem 2-place version that excels at accessing remote airstrips. The Bearhawk LSA is a lightweight design that meets U.S. Sport Pilot requirements. Each aircraft shares backcountry qualities that include stable slow flight and higher than expected cruise speeds. Bearhawk Aircraft manufactures high quality quick-build kits for the Bearhawk 4-Place, two-place tandem Bearhawk Patrol, and Bearhawk LSA.
