BEARHAWK ~ Riveting the Wing Skins

BEARHAWK - Usually a 2 man job, I was able to contort myself and buck the wing skin rivets myself. I don't recommend anyone doing it this was. Find an experienced rivet bucking helper.

This video series covers my progress building (and eventually flying) the Bearhawk 4 Place. See my "About This Channel" here:    • BEARHAWK ~ About this Channel...  

This aircraft is powered by the Lycoming Thunderbolt YIO-540-EXP. https://www.lycoming.com/engines/thun...

BEARHAWK LIFE DISCLAIMER:
I am a 900+ hour pilot with various ratings including instrument, commercial, multi-engine instrument, CFI, CFII. Those ratings were obtained YEARS ago and do not suggest that I am an expert today. The purpose of these videos is to 1) share my experience building an experimental amateur built aircraft, 2) promote the most underrated, under-promoted Bearhawk back country utility taildragger aircraft in the world. Recording the building and flying help me with self analysis for my own personal improvement. Nothing in these videos should be taken as absolute fact and are not intended to replace professional guidance from a A&P, IA or a CFI... Feedback is invited; however please keep it positive.
