Bearhawk Builders

     Currently there are twenty Bearhawks flying, including Bob Barrows' original two prototypes (see News & Articles link above for Pilot Reports on these two aircraft). If you want to see one of the Bearhawks now flying, they are located in Wisconsin, Ohio, Virginia, Oregon, Southern California, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, Australia, and South Africa and we can put you in contact with most of the owners.
     Bob Barrows has been selling Bearhawk plans since 1995, and has now sold over 845 sets of plans. We estimate that over 250 Bearhawks are currently being built from his plans.


A News Flash:
     We now have sold Quick Build kits to customers in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, British Columbia, Ontario, Brazil, and Ecuador. Just about all these builders would welcome a visit to check out their kit Bearhawk projects. The one in Brazil is not exactly on the beaten path, but if you are in Cuiaba of Matto Grosso province you might want to stop by.

     Budd Davisson of AviPro would be happy to put you in touch with virtually all these builders so you could ask them about the quality of the workmanship in the their kits from AviPro, and the help available during every step of the construction process. There is also an egroup for Bearhawk kit builders where we exchange ideas and experiences. It has proven to be very useful. When someone has a question, an answer is usually provided by multiple builders further along in the process – many times with pictures attached.
