The new Bearhawk Five is equipped with a Lycoming IO-580, rated at 315 HP. Its propeller is an 82" Hartzell Trailblazer 3-blade. Density altitude is 1000 feet. In rough numbers, the takeoff roll was 500 feet at the 3000-pound max gross weight, with a climb rate of 1000 feet per minute. With the weight equivalent of four passengers and half fuel, the climb rate is 1500 feet per minute and the ta...

The latest airplane in the Bearhawk lineup is also its largest! The "Bearhawk Five" shares a wing with the Bearhawk 4-Place (Model B) but has a cabin space that is a foot longer and two inches wider. The max gross weight climbs from 2500 to 3000 pounds, and the fuselage, landing gear, and tail surfaces are all enlarged and strengthened. This new fuselage has room for a third row of seats. At 30...

People often ask about why Bob Barrows' airplanes have certain design features that are different than other airplanes. Here is Bob explaining, in his own words, why he designs airplanes the way he does.

David Weber comments on Bearhawk headroom
Turned off comments on the last video of the cheap labor to build these. Got to keep those profit margins high and not let Americans build just buy. I guess it comes down to Integrity.
Excellent stuff bro
I'm just curious, but why not move the ballast further aft so you can have less overall weight but the same moment and CG? Edit: I'm guessing it was for ease of adjustment for testing purposes?
Sound is so poor.
THERE IS ONE THING I WANT TO ASK HONESTLY CAN I BUILD A BEARHAWK FIVE WITH WOOD?
Beautiful video. Great job.
Your aircraft are ugly looking time to retire dude
i'm in idaho wanting to get my PL preferably a tail dragger setup my issue is i am 7'4" tall with a 42" inseam and this plane looks very promising i can see moving the seats back should help with the counter weight issue as i am 335lbs but if you ever are interested in having a live balast weight id love to check the plane out
the engine is too heavy. use a 300HP Yamaha to fix the CG
The plant in México video the comments are off. Looks like they need a forklift to pickup the kits, OSHA in méxico? 🫣
What a beautiful job, however, I am curious as to why the engine mount to firewall bolts installed with the head forward ?
Who would believe that is austrailia fantastic
It’s in New Zealand
Pilot must be a leftie?!
It looks like a bushplane to me with 2 bigger tyers in front.
how can It use same wings as 4 place if it has higher gross weight...

Great video, enjoyed the walk around!
with double slotted fowler flaps would be perfect, thats really missing on these designs
What is the tallest point on this plane?
What about dihedral so that it trims and settles. Other Bearhawks seem to require flying it all the time if you know what I mean.
The proportions on this airplane really look good very nice.
Any word on availability to purchase?
Does Collin build airplanes for people or does he just build his own projects? It looks like he does really nice work and I’m in the market to contract with someone to build a super Cub for me. If he does do contract work, can you provide a way I can contact him? Thanks!
Anyone know what size fuel line was used with the larger engine (IO-580. 315 hp)?
Looks alot like a maule
Yepper ... wouldn't be surprised to learn the Maule M'5' was the inspiration for this design. ^v^
You don't like the saw blade trim wheel.
Harry Riblett has a whole family of airfoil shapes. Which Riblett airfoil did Bob select for this model of Bearhawk?
Very talented people that can get this done. DONE.
Like the airplane but is it strange having the stick underneath the panel?
What a clean build!! Would love to build a plane with this guy, theres not of guys with his skill and knowledge left out there!!!
Does the Bearhawk have to be wrapped with fabric or can metal be used?
It's experimental amateur built, do what you want.
thank you for the video. Would a Stoll wing be feasible on this aircraft?
I would like to see the cowling further redesigned to allow better forward visibility while landing and taxi. Here is a crazy idea for Bob. Place a lever in the cockpit that is similar to the flap lever but will when activated force the tail wheel down about 6 inches or there about. This would allow for better forward visibility. Could be used on the beginning of the take off run and then retracted after the tail comes up. Or not. Primarily used for taxi. Crazy???
Gentlemen, this is an example of an accomplished tailwheel pilot. Well done!
I wonder if a TIO-540 from a Navajo would work....hmmmm
The wind shock was drooping, yet appeared to be turbulent. A 3k gross weight aircraft shouldn't be buffeting like that, what am I missing?
That right there is a full Eye-Far panel.
I hope a builder out there plans to put a the LS3 in a BH5. Would be the perfect platform to poke the certified snobs in the eye.
Hi does the bearhawk have any adverse yaw
Nice!
In Colin's defense I'm sure hes better then you average tail wheel pilot. Not his first redeo!
Haver you ever thought about an all metal side by side no fabric at all I'd be your first customer ( you could offer a kitt to metalize the welded steel tube fuselage that would really put you on the map and keep that cool factory turning out airplanes all the time matt
Would be awesome to see bob barrows design an all metal side by side bearhawk
Already done, the "Companion"
@@benthurber5363 wishing these new companion builders would post some photos
Hi bearhawk aircraft any word or photos of the two companion side by side airplane builds
Well, seeing as to how every vehicle I’ve bought that’s been made in Mexico (I’ve owned dodge and GM products) that makes me less apt to want to buy a plane that has its wing made there. Mexican companies don’t have that good of quality control. Seriously. Not trying to be a dick. But damn. At least spring for Canada (I’ve owned vehicles made there. Much better and they have first-world quality control.)
You can always just buy the plans and build it yourself in the USA. It might add an extra 2-5 years to your build, but at least you will know that an American (you) built it.

They're riveted wings. You see a bad rivet, drill, punch, dress, pound. Watch the factory video. More than acceptable craftsmanship. Good jigs and tooling. All raw material is US sourced. The ribs are outsourced and hydroformed. And, unless you've laid down a lot of pounds with a gas torch, you're going to have a hard time laying down comparable beads. Even seasoned craftsman often regret not getting the quickbuild kit. This is optimized for construction in your garage, so there's only so many CNC shortcuts you can make. And what you pay for bottom-of-the-barrel labor in the US/Canada gets you top-of-the-line in 2nd world countries.
Support the home team. Buy American made.
@@ColbyOsborn it looks like the people at the factory in Mexico are proud of their job and do nice work. I’ve seen videos of US auto factory workers smokin’ and drinkin’ lunch. Good and bad anywhere
Want one!
Needs more wing for shorter take off
Does anyone know if there are mod kits in the works for stol improvements like leading edge slats on the wings? I like this airframe a lot and wonder how it would fair next to a helio courier and a zenith.
I dont think they was intended to be a stol aircraft according to Bob's interviews.
Why are you building the kits in Mexico and not America?
$$$$
What a very strange question! Why is the Apple iphone built is Asia and not 'america'?
Buy American made.
What is the knob inside the wing root towards the leading edge?
Cessna 172 fresh air vent.
