    Beautiful Mark!! i especially like the wingtips. Is the "Bearhawk patrol" painted or a decal? If a decal, I think I might want those. Where did you get them?

    Rod, my first Patrol had an unfortunate incident with a friend flying it. Ground loop. I chose to build a new one rather than fix the old one.

    Scott, it has the O360 and instrument panel gadgets from my first Patrol. 80" Trailblazer prop. Standard Hartzell polished spinner. Empty weight is 1224 lbs. We used Poly Fiber through silver. Then Superflight color coat paints on top of that.. That is what my friend likes who shot the paint. Mark

    Great looking plane Mark! Curious as to why you built another Patrol?

    She looks great Mark! Lots of questions. Which fabric system did you use? Constant speed? High prop did you use? That looks like a Cummins spinner. What are your W&B numbers

    Patrol N186BP flies today

    My new Patrol flew twice today. I shot some poor video which I can not seem to upload to the forum. But will place it on YouTube and post the link here. A friend did the first flights since he is a professional pilot and teaches tailwheel. Slightly heavy right wing but all else good. He saw 140 MPH IAS at 2400/24 at 2500 ft. Seems about right. Will provide more info as the Patrol flies more. Mark
