where are your pick up lift points on the plane? Nice to have had that in your video

Hey Steve...thanks for watching! The lifting eyes Rob used are posted in the Bearhawk forum. Look at the third post down and you will see some pictures of Rob's installation. He made a set of attach points for the front spar and one set for the rear spar. Come to find out the rear attach points were unnecessary, so he only has the front ones installed now. bearhawkforums.com/forum/bearhawk-patrol-plans-build/9626-lifting-rings

Awesome to see your first flight on floats!! With any luck I'll be there in two years. I have a set of PK3000s on the way. I think they weigh about 44 lbs more than yours. I'd love to see some high rate of climb footage when you get comfortable on them. And maybe a video on performance. (Speed, climb, stall change, etc.) Thanks for filming and posting!!!!

Hi Steve...I passed this onto Rob Taylor and he will get some numbers for you when he gets his BH back on floats for the summer.

Does a float plane "come in for a landing?" :) Sure looks nice, and gets off the water quickly!

@alaskabearhawk 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah…good point! It does land, as in alighting, but on water. But a touch and go is called a splash and go…at least in our neck of the woods.
