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. Ron Wanttaja 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, http://www.aeroprakt.kiev.ua/eng_html/main.html David O -- http://www.AirplaneZone.com |

Interesting plane looks real roomy. http://www.gcsfc.org/gallery/images/01.jpg 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): http://www.rawlinsbrothers.org/bhfaq/title/uds.jpg 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. What's this one? Zenith? http://www.gcsfc.org/gallery/images/28.jpg Nah, not ugly enough, although it is getting there. No clue what it is. ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.
