BEARHAWK PATROL
Bob Barrow's prototype Patrol
I am currently building a Bearhawk Patrol Deluxe Quick Build Kit for Brian Cross from Brampton Ontario. The kit comes from Avipro, located in Austin Texas. I have one of the early deluxe kits. For more info on the Bearhawk and Patrol visit http://www.bearhawkaircraft.com
Eric Newton, a US rep for Avipro, is building a standard QB kit at the present and outlines a good portion of the kit in detail on his website http://www.mybearhawkpatrol.com. Therefor I will not bother going into detail on area’s that Eric has already covered on his site, which don’t differ from what I have done. I will outline the build from my perspective and elaborate on area’s I feel need more detail or that I have done differently.
Also, in Canada, we have a different process to which we have to adhere to. We usually have to have, depending on the kit, two precover inspections and a final inspection. This can change the order in which things are done relative to what inspections are required.
Please note that in the following galleries, a good percentage of components shown must come apart and be put back together on final assembly, therefor, allot of the fasteners are temporary or missing nuts, pins, safety wire ect.
