Another LSA Kit Started!

[Wayne Massey]

Getting my kit ready to display at the Sebring Expo. I installed the landing gear yesterday. I guess I have officially started!

Looks nice Wayne. Have you put the 4 place build on hold for now?

Looks like I'm not the only one starting an LSA kit! My new project arrived here on Jan. 8th! My first two projects were entirely scratch built, so I will have a HUGE headstart on this one. This will be my third build of Bob's designs. Just recently sold my 4-place. Currently flying the Patrol and now starting the LSA. Guess I'm a "Bearhawk Addict" lol...

Wayne, what wheels and tires are those? I need to purchase mine and I'm considering sizes/options.

I copied Mark Goldberg. This set up in my opinion is perfect. It's gives the LSA a very appealing stance.

Wheels: Matco MHMHE8B

Yep putting the 4-place on the back burner for now. I can get the LSA in the air quicker than finishing up the 4-place. It kind of hurts to put my Bearhawk into storage but with moving it had to be anyway. Once I finish the LSA I'll compete my Bearhawk. My wife already told me I have to. 😊

Collin I was very happy to hear you are building a Quick Build LSA kit! The Bearhawk airplanes have obviously gotten to you just as much as they have me. I may have to build a Patrol after I finish my LSA and 4-place. I may be contacting you got builder help and tips!
