Nice work Battson and Mark Goldberg

stinger wanted me to share this pic with the group. His grandson James has accumulated 40 hours and 30 take offs/landings in the Bearhawk LSA and he just turned 13! I’d say that’s a good papa 😀

FlyQ EFB has their lifetime subscription plans for a limited time again (I think for the next couple of days) You can buy a Lifetime for just $299 (VFR) or $399 (VFR + IFR) by going to https://seattleavionics.com/BFF I am not trying to convince anyone to convert or say FlyQ is better than...

stinger brought home the Grand Champion award at the Southeast Regional Fly In held in Evergreen, AL. Congrats to Stinger on your beautiful plans built LSA. On his return trip he covered 261 miles in 2.5 hours (104.4) @ 4.9 GPH.

Jared and his family dropped into Hilliard, FL 01J on their way back to NC yesterday. We had a nice picnic enjoying the beautiful weather and let the kids play for a bit. The older girls wanted to go for an airplane ride. I didn't know this, but the "Lion King" theme song sounds best in a...

Steve Thompson's scratch built 4 place (Chiefland, FL)

Any interest in a Bearhawk get together? I will be there and I know stinger will be there. Thinking of Thursday, 5:00 PM Juliet row spot #24. Look for this sign:

stinger flew his plans built LSA today! Congrats.

Instead of using my day off to progress my project, I flew over to Lake City to check on stinger LSA and do some hangar flying. She’s pretty and ready to fly, just waiting on DAR and paperwork. Enjoy some pics.

Some more video featuring Ryan's Bearhawk and a little Bearhawk surprise at the end.......

Great episode of Flight Chops with a nice Bearhawk flying around Vancouver.

While bending the tube for my vertical stab i managed to get a little out of plane. If I lay it on my table, the ends are flat but it's about 1/8" proud in the middle. Just wondering if I should start over or someone have a good idea how to take the bow out? I.e. Heat? I could prob clamp...

My plans show T1(1/4 x .035) for the tubing that runs along the back of the rear gear leg. The engineering notice from 2009 (Gear modification needed for larger tires up to 29") shows this tube as T3 (3/8 x .035). What is everyone else using here? T1 (1/4) or T3 (3/8)?

Just wanted to post a couple of pics from Bob's. This was my first time at Bob's, we happened to be in the "area" on vacation. If you were there, feel free to post your pics in this thread.

Looks like a mass exodus from Embry Riddle in Daytona Beach to Auburn ahead of Hurricane Matthew.

I tried several of the major EFBs (Foreflight, WingX and FlyQ) years ago and settled on FlyQ and love it. They emailed their lifetime subscription holders earlier today with a special link to share on social media, $39 for a year. That's about $100 off and a good deal.....so here it is...

Not sure if this is new or I am just late to the bus-stop, but if you're an EAA member then you get personal use access to Solidworks, which from what I can gather runs about 4K for the professional version plus another $1200/year in subscription fees. Seems like a nice benefit if you want to...

I wanted Hoerner style wingtips, primarily because I like the way they look, but there are some purported performance advantages over rounded. The Hoerner shape also lends itself to housing the Bob Archer style VOR (Not even sure VOR will be around when I finish) antennas I made and it will...

I was wondering about insurance for my project this AM and thought I'd ask if such a things exists and/or if any of you have experience? My wings are essentially done and are in my garage at the moment. I just got a hangar a few weeks ago which I've got my basic fuselage and engine sitting in...

I made my pocket skins in 3 pieces which leaves a couple inches of wing skin on either side of the hinge without rivets at the aft edge. I looked over a friends Bearhawk the other day and noticed he did his pocket skin all one piece, and made cutouts to go around the hinges, so his skin has...
