    4 Place QB Seat Frames

    Does Mark or anyone have a better picture of the front seat assembly? I dropped off my seats at the upholstery shop last evening and we can't determine the correct orientation. We think we know. Just need to confirm. I found this picture on the parts store, but it is very grainy. Thanks!

    List of Fuel Lines and Fittings

    Does anyone have a parts list for all of the fuel lines, fittings, couplings, T's, elbows, etc.? Newton's manual references the plans, sheet 16 & 17, for a schematic of the fuel system with parts numbers. My plans do not have these sheets or indicate this detail. Thanks.

    One, or both elevator trim tabs

    My B Model kit has both trim tabs welded into the elevator. I am trying to decide if I should cut out one, or both. I have seen some BH's with the left trim tab terminated because of the effectiveness and sensitivity of a single trim tab (right side). I am planning on the same unless there is...

    Bearhawk B Model Kit Arrived Today

    My kit arrived today. Mike Nellis did a fantastic job delivering and unpacking the shipment. Everything was beautifully packaged. The fuselage went into the garage and the wings were placed in a nearby storage locker. Even had time to get the fuselage on the rotisserie to close out the day...

    Is there an alternative for Creativair, Inc

    In Eric Newton's build manual he references Creativair, Inc as a source for LED kits. It appears this company is no longer in business. Is there an alternative vendor source for LED's and LED kits?

    New member in North Carolina

    I'm not a builder, only because I don't have the time. I have restored cars and have the mechanical ability to build. I have a fully functioning wood working shop and novice welding equipment. Maybe I will build when I retire. I'm an 800+ hour pilot with 100 hours tail time. All tail flying was...
