Thanks guys. Good idea. Thanks for the picture.

Thanks. I just printed the parts and operator's manuals. That is very helpful.

Will do. Thanks

Thanks guys. I now understand.

Can someone please explain what the three red plastic ports are designed for on this simple Lycoming o-360 carbureted engine with p-mags. I am getting conflicting information. Just looking to hookup oil cooler. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice.

I understand. So either I remove engine-driven pump and plumb directly to carburetor or I install backup boost pump. I was surprised when my engine arrived with the engine-driven pump since I was planning on gravity fed system. I prefer the simpler route and will need to ensure my fuel flow...

Jared, I only have an engine-driven fuel pump that feeds the carburetor, so the transducer needs to be mounted downstream from the pump, which places it in the FWF area. That area has limited space.

I need guidance on how to plumb the gold cube fuel flow transducer. Installation guideline recommends 5 inches of straight tubing for inlet and outlet. I’m building a Bearhawk Companion with Lycoming o-360A1A engine and there is little room. Any suggestions or pictures would be appreciated.

Barry, I have the original fuel caps that came with my C11 kit. Send me your address so that I can calculate postage.

Good Luck. I am 90% done with C11 and have 90% to go. Enjoy the process. So far, I have listened to 56 books while building my Bearhawk. It is truly a unique experience.

Jared, thanks for supporting the Bearhawk builders community.

I am getting ready to transport my fuselage to a hangar where I will attach wings and finalize assembly. My engine is mounted. I’m concerned about the 30 minute, 20 mile ride on a flatbed with my engine bouncing along. What have others done to reduce stress on the airframe? I can easily remove...

I reviewed the brake pedal restrictor AD that was recently posted but am having difficulty understanding how to install the restrictor plates on the backside of the brake pedals. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can share some photographs that depict the proper installation. Thank you.

Save your marriage - get your plane covered in two weeks - give your wife back her garage stall! After watching Colby's YouTube videos and following Utah Jay's build posts, I decided to follow their lead and cover my Companion with Oratex. As I was ordering my materials and supplies, I...

What is the useable capacity of the 55 gallon fuel tanks?

This was the first month building my Bearhawk Companion. I spent more time doing carpentry work than building since I had to knock out a wall in order to expand my workspace from the garage into the house. My wife is the best! Today I installed the Johnson bar for the flaps after watching...

I am preparing my single-car garage (11 x 17) for the arrival of my QB Companion kit sometime in May/June. I am planning to put one wing in a rotisserie with the other wing hanging on the wall. The fuselage will be stored off-site. I need to know the length and width of the wing, as well as the...

I live on a lake that freezes in the winter and am interested in building a plane that can be fitted with floats and skis. Would a Bearhawk LSA be a suitable platform? If so, what size engine would be required? Can the fuselage be fitted with two doors? I welcome any ideas, suggestions, and advice.
