Chrome.. no matter where it's located.. adds 10hp. Very beautiful engine bay!
Beautiful build! And I’m glad to hear Bearhawk is expanding their lineup.
This plane is going to be awesome. I can’t wait to see it fly
Always get something out of watching this channel. I am planning to angle my panel on the S7 I am building and like the way that Dynon looks. Also modifying the space aft of the door for baggage loading so it was cool to see how his windows in the door looked. Great job Bryan.
Another great Bearhawk builder find. TY
I've enjoyed your channel and have followed Rob's Bearhawk build as well, great work by both you guys!
Thank You! Thanks for watching.
The follow up video was great definitely try to keep doing those
What a great job. Vary nice, Please keep us up to date
Another great video. I love the Experimental Aircraft Channel!
Hey Brian I think the format that you used in this episode is your Best yet. Good job.
A fan of both your channels. The Bearhawk looks awesome!! Appreciate the scoop on the 5, haven't even seen the Companion yet, so looks like Mr. Barrows is keeping busy.
You did a great job with the coverage
Awesome content!!!
Keep up with the great content! Love the Bearhawk. Love the Tundra too, hint hint🙂
Rob is an interesting fella hope he shares his adventures in flight.
He has EVERY intention of sharing his flying experiences with us once he get's that bird into the air. Watch for it! :-)
Great looking plane. I'll have to pick up his channel.
Wow Rob has one sick aircraft & beast of an engine. That's beyond epic Bearhawk is releasing a new, bigger, more capable, and more powerful Bearhawk model. I think the Bearhawk at this point, especially with the 5-place, is going to be my end-all-be-all kitplane I'd build in the distant future. The Zenith CH-750 would probably be my first kitplane I'd build. The RANS S-21 Outbound is also another one I really love. Thanks for another great video!
nailed it
Well done...👍👍👍
Great video, guys.
I like your video about making a light aircraft, made by yourself. keep working and I'm always waiting for your videos, great!
I'm a little late to this episode, but nice detail on the update! Thanks
LOOKS nice ! , Lots-o-Work for sure but Rob you need to move WEST to "Cowboy" country for some of that great back country flying ( Utah, Nev., N.Calif. .... & ... IDAHO )................... GREAT JOB BUILDING ! Thanks for the update.
Wyoming and Idaho is where I found my passion for tailwheel / bush flying. I lived out there for a few years flying around the Tetons and Yellowstone Park in a Bellanca Scout and a Rockwell Call-Air.
Lots of love from Pakistan aviation and (PIA)
Another great interview with a owner/builder with his Bearhawk Aircraft. His paint scheme came out amazing with him using the Stewart System. I have painted quite a few aircraft and cars over the years that seeing a finish on his aircraft I can say he prepared everything well before he even turned on his compressor. He had to have at least 60 gallon with 9.5 CFM. with a quality gravity feed HVLP spray gun. Nice finish. With a quality and color selection using this system I’m not sure I would want to use Oratex. Oratex is a lighter weight material but limited on color selections. And if want a color scheme that is more appealing I’m going to use the Stewart System. I’ll take the small weight penalty especially with a 3,000lb. aircraft! Loved his work! He could have used a layer of fiberglass between the carbon fiber and the 4130 steel. Either his first layer or his last depending on the layup. That would protect the steel from the flow of electrons causing corrosion.
Good points. I'm am actually using a layer of kevlar between the carbon fiber panels.
If you rivet the carbon fiber tubing, you will get galvanic corrosion and the rivets will fail in time.
You could actually make a functional battery with aluminum and carbon.
You might be able to hydro dip your cf components in a clear film to get rid of cf corrosion…just a thought….
Dannnggg...!!!!...sonnnn...👍👍💯💯💯😊😊😊!!!!!
Fly it !
I'm looking at a bearhawk for personal and fire department use. I can't afford the all fast build. How much welding is left in the basic fuselage kit.
he has that in a town house? lol I can hear the HOA militia now lol
If memory serves the type of door he is referring to is supposed to be open on the top. Like a T-top that is connected to the door. To give more head room for taller people to get in and out. With out hitting their head. So I would call then a vertical opening door not gullwing
The big high Hp engine are nice but buy 2025 100LL is on the chopping block for the EPA to be going away and a lot of these engines will not be able to produce that kind of horsepower on alternative fuel. Anything with more the 8-1 compression will have trouble. Going to need direct fuel injection and electronic ignition to run alternate fuel at higher HP
Не все слова понимаю по английски, но что то между строк понимаю. Очень интересный канал.
On incident you need an instruction to open the doors?
Beautiful aircraft. But if it was mine I'd be dragging "dead moose" in and out of it.
What happened to grip lock ties as a sponsor, I'm sure M Patey can afford to support your channel?? I bought $50.00 worth after seeing them on this channel, keep up the good content..
Still there. But as an Affiliate...see link in Description PLEASE. :-)
Thank you for your support!
If you paint carbon fibre it stops the conductivity !
What max rpm?
The engine ran for 3 hours on a test stand before leaving the Lycoming factory. During that test run the engine saw a max of 26.5 inches of manifold pressure and 2,719 RPM on the prop.
@@TheBaldPilot surprised its not at least 300 hp at 2700. With 84in dia prop - thats really noisy n transonic tips are absorbing torque from mach drag n robbing thrust. Decades ago io720s would deliver 375 hp at 2575rpm n transmit it into thrust reasonably well with 84in props
Lanse Lithgow - i was really surprised that he wasn’t running a three bladed prop on this aircraft. Maybe after considering all factors it wasn’t worth the extra weight up forward??? Did you ask him why he selected a two bladed prop?
Хочу летать!
you never talk about the cost'
Building a Bearhawk in a condo...... I have no excuse.
Right?!!
I cant understand why people are still using air cooled engines. They were being fazed out in the 1930's for a reason.
Because there aren't any other options....well there is, but that one only produces 141 HP. I agree though, engine market definitely needs more technology. The kicker is that air cooled engine is about 75k now!!
Stop calling your plane a STOL plane. It is not. Your engine is too heavy. try Yamaha.
It’s still a STOL plane. Weight doesn’t determine the subcategory of aircraft
