Greetings fellow Builders and aviators. My name is James Schrag. I have owned and flown a Piper J-3 Cub for the last 4 years and absolutely love it. However, I have longed for a an airplane that can fly faster, farther, and carry more load with many of the same Cub characteristics. As Super Cubs are priced over my budget, the Bear Hawk has really caught my attention. Combine all of this with the fact that I have been an A&P mechanic for 26 years, own my own hangar on a private grass strip, and have the desire and possibly the skills necessary to build my own experimental aircraft, I really like idea of building and flying an airplane that meets my needs.
Now for The Facts of Life stuff. I have been happily married for 26 years and have two daughters, in 8th and 11th grade. A Bearhawk 4 Place airplane seems to be the perfect fit for carting my girls and their stuff to and from college campuses, while still allowing me to attend fly-ins, make more family visits at a slightly longer range from my home field base, and continue to enjoy flying at an economical rate.
Recently, a co-worker lost his battle with cancer. He had purchased the plans and started building a Bearhawk from scratch. I am making arrangements to go see what is there and what the value might be.
