Okay... the thing should fly this spring, and I hope it will be at Oshkosh this year.
We've done a few kinda custom things like... got ahold of a sweet pedal cluster out of a Baron or Bonanza (I can't remember which), and, hey! these pedals will work great, and besides, Bearhawk starts with a B, so...we went with it.
We have an IO520, custom induction system, three-blade McCauley prop, Ag Wagon spinner (whew! those things are expensive...)
Custom Engine mount fabbed with extensive help from the venerable Ted Ryder.
We did something interesting, I think, with the doors, as you can see in the photos. And of course, we'll be installing the Perideo Fold-Down Sticks.
Owner/Builder: Dick Foy, founder, Aero Union Corporation (c.1963), former CEO, Erickson Air Crane Co.
Custom designs: Me, his kid, Eric Foy, COO, Perideo LLC
Lot's of help: Ted Ryder, prolific builder of aircraft and boats; always in the middle of a project.
