I'm looking into a light bush plane type, kind like a PA-11. I'm
interested in one that can take two people and take off and clear 50'
in around 700', possible to be put on a float. I've looked at Kitfox,
Rans, CH701, Capella, Bushcaddy, and of course the J3 / PA-11.

If you are willing and able to build from plans, look into Bob Barrows'
new design, the Bearhawk Patrol. This is a 2 seat tandem bush plane
similar in construction to his 4 seat Bearhawk design. The patrol has a
gross weight of 2000 pounds, and an empty weight around 1000 (IIRC) with
a Lycoming O-360. It will take engines from 115-200hp and is designed
for outstanding short field performance.

I've got no relationship with Bob other than that of a satisfied
customer (building the 4 seat Bearhawk). He can be reached at:
