                      I finally had a chance to watch the whole thing. Great job Rob! Having a second pilot would have been so nice when I flew mine! The first flight is stressful. Don’t worry much about having to constantly watch the pitch. You’ll get used to it pretty quick and soon won’t even notice. Plus, at high power settings the BH flies pretty tail high so you naturally will want to pitch up.

                      Well done! That is a world class accomplishment! Looks like a beautiful Bearhawk.
                      It will serve you well for many years.
