Okay, you must be part cat, you know, 9 lives...boats, planes...anyway, Dennis has joined the club. I'm not sure any of us realize just how close he was to meeting his maker. Imagine your plane shaking so much the wing tip landing lights shoot out through the plexiglass covers. Gives me the...

Can’t get away with anything! ;). That’s why I thought we better tell the correct story. You know how rumors go. I was wondering: I know what a prang is, but what’s a bit worse than that? We’ve had a couple people make comments like yours. ( first time I saw, rode in—-) Love to hear it...

Good memory! I’m not sure if Arlington even exists anymore. QUOTE="svyolo, post: 102718, member: 1076"] I think I met you and Dennis in Arlington either 2018 or 19. Prayers for a speedy recovery for Dennis. The rest will sort itself out.

Yea, we had around 110 hrs. On the props. I’m considering a Trailblazer, but dang they’re expensive! Hopefully the NTSB will find something to point to. A little surprised they are doing a full investigation into this. The plane , engine and propeller are experimental. Maybe it’s the...

[Peter we are 100% sure 1 of the blades along with what I think they call the shank?, came out of the hub. It was no where on site and all cylinders were on the engine. Why it came out could forever be a mystery, unless we happen to find it. That is a possibility. We were only a couple of...

Whirlwind 284

Since I have the same prop as Dennis had, not completely sure I’m willing to fly behind it and wondering what prop people are using and if they’re happy with it.

Thanks Jared! Yea, it’s one of the rougher things we’ve dealt with, but 6 weeks of healing will give us plenty of time to figure it all out. D.

So I’m going to say those words I absolutely hate but understand more about using them now, but it is with a sad heart I have to say that N240BP has had an accident and it appears more work than feasible is necessary to bring it back. But never say never right?? The words I love to say though...

Okay, who’s going and where are you parking?? Would love to start a Bearhawk “row” if we had enough interest. This year Dennis and I will be later than normal. Instead of arriving Thursday late or Friday, we will be sometime on Saturday. Otherwise we would start a row. From past experience...

Looking for a new or used pre 2018 spinner to replace my damaged spinner. (Totally not my fault ;) ). The new ones today do not fit my Whirlwind 284 propeller. Thanks, D

Hi fellow Bearhawkers, Dennis and I sent our props from Oregon to JDW prop shop in Ohio two weeks ago. Not time to panic but we’ve been trying to get ahold of him. Nobody is answering the phone, the message box is full and he is not answering his texts. I’m wondering if there’s anybody in the...

Is anybody else out there flying with a Whirlwind 284 propeller??? I seem to be having a hard time finding a place to do the required inspection on mine and wondering if anybody else has tried.
