Merv Hargraves (Queensland, Australia) O-470 powered Bearhawk first flew
a little over two years ago.

can find any contact information, and get back to you via email.

Interesting plane looks real roomy.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that picture before. The Bearhawk has the same
cabin width as a 172 (40") and uses a 172 windshield. If more shoulder
room is desired, the doors may be bowed outward slightly. Cabin length
is 9'8" from back of firewall to aft cabin bulkhead. Here is a shot of
the rear cargo area (with rear seat removed, so figure on the front half
of the space adjacent to the opening filled with rear seat):

We got word yesterday that another plans built Bearhawk flew in late
November, bringing the total of confirmed flying examples to 12. We got
a couple pics on the email list today and it is beautiful. I will get
them posted to the FAQ site when I have more time.

Nah, not ugly enough, although it is getting there. No clue what it is.

Looks like a RANS coyote to me.

No, I don't think it's either a RANS nor a Zenair. I thought at first it
was a Jabiru, but I don't think that's right, either. My guess is it's one
of the new European lightplanes that's aimed at the light sport aircraft
market.

Good guess, Ron. It is an Aeroprakt A22.

Spectrum Aircraft markets the A22 as the "Valor" in the USA,
http://www.spectrumaircraft.com/aircraft.shtml

Silverwing Aviation markets the A22 as the "Foxbat" in Australia,
http://www.silverwing.com.au/

Aeroprakt, Ltd. is based in Kiev, Ukraine,
