Hey Mark......the Bearhawk has about 32 hrs on it now, and is performing flawlessly so far! It's a very easy and honest airplane to fly. I've been able to induct 7 new BH pilots, and they all agree.....it's one of the best all around airplanes they've ever flown. I went with a Monty Barrett balanced IO 540X and a MT 3 bladed prop, extremely smooth combination.
All of your performance numbers are accurate, your kit is a pleasure to build, and working with you, Jim, Budd,and the rest of the BH tribe is great! Thank you for the great support. I've experienced the RV grin........and now the Bearhawk Rush !!!
I'm convinced now more than ever, the more BH's that come on line and the more pilots fly them, your kit sales are going to grow exponentially... ...brace yourself !! Lets try and put together a Bearhawk fly-in at my strip here in Lakeland !
Cheers!!

Comments about a recent kit delivery in Montana:
    Mike arrived at the house Thursday evening and we unloaded the BH kit and then he headed north (to Alaska). The packing is well done and your group seems to have things figured out. Unpacking the kit reveals more completed and included components than I imagined and the quality looks real good. The packing lists attached to various boxes and components really show the completeness of the items. Looking forward to getting started. Thanks again for the follow through.

Comments from Dave Roberts in Montana
Budd, Mark,& Bob:
     I have 96hours on 125BH now. I like it better every time I fly it. I'm starting to fly quite a bit again now, usually half an hour almost every day sometimes less sometimes more. I'm using it for ranch work mostly now,checking cattle, water, etc. But I can usually get a couple of landing and takeoffs in each time too.
     Yesterday we had about a 20 mph wind coming straight down the crosswind runway. Take off roll was about 100' with two on board and about 30 gallon offuel. Landing was about the same. Had to try to land on the dryspot.
     Today 3 of us flew to a friends place to look at gravel for our shop. We landed in a stubble field. It looked dry. It wasn't real soft but really muddy. 125BH looks a bit like a bush plane now. The tail wheel was about the size of a basket ball. We had to clean the mud off of the tailwheel before we took off. It is in a pretty serious need of a wash job now.
     When wecame home, we landed in less than 200'. Two adults and a 90 lb kid. No wind. This winter I have really been missing building on an airplane,  but after flying the Bearhawk the last few days, what can I improve on? For my mission I just don't think I could get much better than the Bearhawk.
     Visited with Chuck and Dawn Judy (owners of Bearhawk Proto II) a while back. We were talking about the Bearhawks and the POWER. Last fall Dawn went with someone somewhere in a 172. She said when they took off she kept waiting for him to pull the throttle back and abort the takeoff. She was sure there was something wrong with the airplane. It wasn't picking up speed fast enough for take off. Then she realized there wasn't anything wrong with it, it was just a 172. She was so used to the BH. Anyway,thanks for a really great airplane.

Professionally Designed and Widely Built
     Designed by engineer Bob Barrows, the BEARHAWK is being built in many countries around the world and all over the USA. AviPro Aircraft, Ltd. has delivered over 90 QB kits (4/20/07), including customers in Alaska, Canada, Bolivia, Equador, Mexico, & Brazil. The Bearhawk kit is a FAA 51% approved QB kit that saves you 2,000 - 3,000 hours of work.

Aerospace Quality
     Our kit is manufactured in our own plant (not a sub-contractors) in Atlixco, Puebla, Mexico (ONLINE PLANT TOUR). The craftsmen at our plant, whom we all recruited and trained, are VERY proud of their work and we at AviPro are equally as proud of the quality they produce on a daily basis. Ask anyone who has seen our kits ­ at Oshkosh, SNF, Copperstate, Arlington, or SWRFI ­ all agree the welding is exceptional, the sheet metal work is world class, and the attention to detail is rarely seen.

The Best Value in the Four-Place Kit Market
     The Bearhawk Quick Build kit is the best value BY FAR in a four-place experimental. We are certain that, as you learn more about the Bearhawk (and our kits), you will agree.
