    Outstanding Performance and Utility
     With the Bearhawk you get performance like most pilots have never experienced. The Bearhawkıs short field/STOL capabilities, large cabin with generous real world useful load/CG envelope (1100-1300 pounds), and respectable cruise speeds (150 mph plus) (SPECIFICATIONS) make it a truly useful airplane. As a back country hauler for your hunting trips or as a weekend family cruiser, the Bearhawk can be whatever you want it to be.

Comments from Dave Roberts in Montana (March 3,2008)
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.

     Please visit the TESTIMONIALS section. Read the impressions of pilots who have flown the Bearhawk, and of customers and others who have inspected our kits and parts.

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-contractorıs) 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.


Latest Flying Bearhawks:  Here are pictures of the most recent Bearhawk to fly from an AviPro QB kit.
Giuseppe Zanetti's BH flew on April 11, 2007. To our knowledge, this is the first BH to fly behind a Continental IO-360. This BH is located in Cuiaba' of Matto Grosso Province of Brazil.
Congratulations Mr. Zanetti & Indio!!!"
     This military looking BH was built by three generations of the Sorensen family in Salt Lake City. First flights were done by Uncle Danny who is an airshow pilot.
   
Dave & Bobbie Roberts - 125BH flies on Mother's Day 2007
"I didn't ever get to full power. I eased the throttle in and glanced at it just after liftoff and I had 2300 rpm - 19 in. manifold pressure. With that and no flaps, takeoff roll was about 600 ft."
     Here are some pics of Cal Brubaker's BH. It flew today May 21. He is also in Salt Lake City.
