It's not perfect and I am aware that I made a few misstatements, so I hope the forum isn't too hard on me. Thanks, Jared.

You are a natural in front of the camera Rob, and it is clear that you have put a lot of thought into your build.... Great video and a real pleasure to watch, other than choking on my coffee at 6:40
that dash is outstanding!

"Late nineties... early nineties, mid nineties - whatever!" Great video. I learned a few things.

I would love to see more videos like this for various builders out there, kit and scratch. It's interesting seeing the different approaches people take in their process and in their workshops. Or spare bedrooms as the case may be.

Nice job. Nice panel. Thanks for the effort.

When I saw you were the subject of the video Rob, I was hoping you wouldn't give incorrect answers to the fellow's questions. As a first time builder. But you did very well. Seriously. There were some minor things you said that were not correct - but VERY few. You did good. Mark

It is a great casual introduction to what it takes to build a Bearhawk! Perhaps not as perfectly accurate as a research paper but much less boring. It is really hard to talk about anything for 25 minutes and not retroactively think of better ways to say things. On the whole I think it's a win for its intended audience, and it will likely introduce lots of new people to the planes we love.

Thank you everyone! This group is important to me and I respect everyone here. I really only wanted to promote the Bearhawk and what it means to me. I honestly had no idea the video was going to be that long. He just started recording and asking questions. So I made a few bumbles but am also overall pleased with the results. Thank you again!

Good job Rob! Very informative and should be well received by potential Bearhawkers! I'm glad you mentioned the forum and all three models of the Bearhawk!

[whee]

Great job Rob! Your plane is looking good. When you lifted up the wing skin I started drooling. Every time I see the inside of factory wings I get jealous; the quality is awesome. Maybe someday I’ll get to have factory wings on my plane.

Rob, a very informative video, as is your website. I’ve spent quite a lot of time browsing and your photos help clarify a lot of questions I have.

Great video.....there is not that much video online for the Bearhawk...this is a home run....the plane looks BIG....and swisswatch craftsmanship....bravo sir

i also really liked the video you did on the brakes....well done and very educational...

Please film more of your build, you're a good narrator and as already posted a natural in front of the camera....

Great job Rob. Your interior looks very nice, what is the material?

[Nev]

robcaldwell Rob I just watched your latest video that showed your carbon molded door frames. Very innovative! I’m sure a link here would be well received by others.

[robcaldwell]

Yes, my next video will discuss the carbon fiber door frames I am currently fabricating. BIG JOB! But it satisfies what I wanted and I would not have been happy otherwise. Here's the link you're not already familiar with my channel:

You're doing one piece doors correct? Did you raise the door sill?

[robcaldwell]

Yes. I talk about that here. https://bearhawk4place.blogspot.com/...ing-doors.html

Ignore the portion where I discuss building the gull wing doors out of the steel door frames from the kit. I have since made carbon fiber doors. Will have a video up on that soon.
