Any bearhawkers going to High Sierra Fly In this year? I would love to get a look and some pictures (I'll be the guy in the 182 wishing he had a Bearhawk).
Enjoy the world's largest backcountry fly-in the the scenic desert of
northern Nevada.
Join us at "Dead Cow" lakebed on Private property for camaraderie,
bonfires, stargazing, a hosted BBQ, and of course backcountry flying
adventures and STOL Drag racing. Â

As a follow up, I got to meet up with two bearhawkers at the fly-in. Mike Creek and Cathy Page. Thanks Blackrock for talking to me about your plane and build (this is Paul), bummed I didn't get the time to take you up on your offer of a ride.
Blackrock is a great advocate for the Bearhawk. He is realistic and happy to share his experience. He gave me a ride in his BH and hooked me on them and I think he did the same with Z. He was also very helpful and provided great advice when I was working through the phase one testing of another Bearhawk. Might be a good thing you didn't have time to go for a ride😎
Scratch Built 4-place Bearhawk. Continental IO-360, 88" C203 McCauley prop.
