TRUE FOUR PLACE UTILITYThis is a truly usable airplane! Cockpit dimensions are slightly larger than the much loved Cessna 172, and include a large cargo area which has its own huge cargo door for access.CARRY FOUR PEOPLE, FULL FUEL, AND 250 LBS The useful load (depending on engine and builder finish out) ranges from 1100-1500 lbs. The 50 gallon main fuel tanks can be filled and four full sized adults carried with room left over for 250 lbs of baggage or cargo.CARGO BAY WITH LARGE DOORSThe back seat can be removed resulting in a HUGE cargo area with unobstructed access. Not only does the back seat have its own door, but the back door combines with the cargo door to allow a six foot loading area. In addition, the back seat can be flipped around and mounted with the seat facing aft. This moves the CG of the rear seat passengers 8 or 9 inches forward.FLYING FOR 19 YEARS WITH 1400+ SETS OF PLANS SOLDProfessional engineer Bob Barrows originally designed the Bearhawk to carry aircraft engines for his engine rebuilding business in 1995. He offered plans for sale and over 1400 sets of plans have been sold. There are over 100 Bearhawks now flying in the USA and around the world.
