Hi

[AlabamaSlammer]

Hey yall, figured it was high time I introduce myself. I've been lurking on these forums for a while now, I've passed through the "oh god, oh god, which kit do I want?" Phase to the "ok, here's what I need to do to make it happen phase."

You really have a great resource here, a ton of information, and some awesome people.

I cannot wait to use my 4 place Bearhawk Quick-build because I dream of flying my family of four on every vacation...

I kid, I kid. I almost typed that with a straight face.

I decided on the Bearhawk for the same reason I drove a 4Runner for 15 years and 380,000 miles; I may do 80% of that solo and on pavement, but I have never once regretted having the ability to haul more and go wherever I needed to go, when I needed to do it.

With two young daughters, a full time business, and life a QB kit really was the most logical choice for actually getting something accomplished on this side of 40.

So thanks for all the information and I plan to annoy you over the next few years with questions and and, hopefully one day, a completed airplane.

Welcome! Great group of people here. We have similar demographics. 2 young kids, a 12 year old 4runner with 170K, I'll be 40 in a few months and I've got a Bearhawk wings in the garage!

I agree. I doubt there are too many times I will have more than 2 people on board my 4 place but the extra seats are there if I want them. Even better, I can remove the rear bench seat and have a HUGE two seat side-by-side with great cargo capacity. Of course it is still a great 2 seater even with the rear seat in. Or three seater... whatever!

We use our Bearhawk to haul around two daughters and it has been working well for that. I just swapped intercoms for the PM3000 from PS Engineering, which has the very cool feature of being able to put the two back-seaters on their own entertainment source and conversation, separate from the front seats. When our girls get older I can see this being most handy.

2-place for me! My 1-year old will be old enough to solo a glider by the time I'm finished and we'll just tow him behind us for a 3rd seat.

Oh absolutely, and thanks for that!

My five year old is a chatterbox who will greatly appreciate that feature. How much her sister will like it remains to be seen.
