Best looking Bearhawk LSA I’ve seen to date. So clean inside and out and under the cowl. Great paint. I appreciate the honest third party spec numbers too, only number I was a little disappointed in was the 600 rpm climb rate. Although you had two 200 pounders, the temp was 77, altitude wasn’t that high, and a 107 hp engine, I expected a bit more. Especially when Bearhawk claims up to 1,500 fpm for its LSA. I guess that means, one skinny pilot, with little fuel and payload on a real cold day with high density altitude can get up to 1,500 fpm.
@Josh Duff, congratulations! What a great little airplane this Bearhawk LSA is! You are lucky to be building one of these machines. I hope you can soon fly it and have great adventures in it. Thank you for the comment!
4:14: Rather than take up valuable real estate on the floor, on my RANS S-7S I hose clamped the attach bracket for my fire extinguisher to the forward side of my control stick. It's totally out of the way, while even more readily accessible.
Excellent video. Thank you for producing such a fine overview of this aircraft! I am strongly considering building my own Bearhawk LSA. One question is how hard is it for a passenger to climb into the rear seat. If it is difficult, my wife will not fly with me. I am looking forward to flying adventures when I retire and want to do them with her (she is a fun lady to be with). If you post any additional videos, I would be grateful if you could show that in good detail so I could show my wife. All the best to you!
@Perry Kuznar, thank you for your appreciation. Please send us an email at flyandtellofficial@gmail.com and we'll discuss the accessibility issue in the Bearhawk line of aircraft. We have video footage and also good advice from the Bearhawk people on that. Thank you very much!

One of the best aircraft review videos I've ever seen
Thank you very much, @benfrost5317 !
Thank you for this video! Congrats on first flight of an amazing example. I’m scratch-building L-204 and I appreciate the inspiration.

What a Beautiful aircraft!! Love the colors!!!
watched several times. good video, great aircraft.
Thank you, sir!
I know these Bearhawk LSA's like to glide. What glide ratio are you getting at 60 mph? What sink rate?

Sweet Bird. Enjoyed the video.
Must be some serious carb icing issues down there to take off with the carb heat ON!
🤔 Oh, I get it! We meant Carb Heat OFF! 😅 We did not takeoff with carb heat on... 🤷🏻♂️
6:48 I also noticed that he left carb heat on for several seconds and rpm didn’t drop much. It was pushed back in though.
Nice bird!
Thank you! 😃
Does it have a built-in parachute system for emergencies?
This os a kit built aircraft and this unit is not equipped with a parachute. But it can be installed.
Very well-made video!
Thank you very much! It’s easier when the subject is a very well-made airplane! 😉
Beautiful plane, by the way its my home town Americana, and my friend Alex owns and fly the plane.
job well done , like it...
Looks like a modern “Paulistinha”
Tobad it's a tandem
Why?
What's wrong with tandem?
