Greetings to the good men of this forum.
Nearly 12 months to the day. I have started back on the BH5 fuselage project. Welding has officially started. Yay ! ! ! If there's one thing in life I could do without is welding. Posted some not so super secret pictures of my fuselage Feel free to ask what ever questions you may be curious about.

Hell yeah brother! Glad to see you are back at it!

Hello fellow BearHawkers . . . . Welding has got to be the most boring task of building a BH . . . However I am starting on D-N frame working towards the firewall . . .I am finished tailpost , H-J , G-K , E-M . May be safe to say 55%. There is alot of welding left yet.
Best Regards to everyone.

Greetings BearHawk Brethren , Started back welding on the BH5 project 70% completed on welding main fuselage. I am only able to put 3 months aside per year to work on this awesome project. Life just keeps coming at me . . .
However I am healthy , strong & welding on !

Sir Newton do you happen to have a set of plans you followed to build this or was it all from your imagination? I'm trying to decide if i want to just build a brake or if i want to try to find somebody who can bend my spars for me. If i do go with building a brake i would love to find a way to build on similar to this and maybe have it on wheels to be able to roll in into a corner when not in use to save valuable shop floor space

I am waiting on my plans from mr Barrows now so that i can get started on my scratch build. I have loved going through your build logs and cant wait to see the final product! I hope i can get my wings and controls done at least in twice the time it took you to do yours. I didnt pay attention to dates of the posts but it seemed like you flew through the construction of all of the sheet metal!!
