Patrol Flying Report

Source: 2003 Q4 Beartracks, by Greg King
The Bearhawk Patrol is a 2-place tandem sport-utility aircraft that is heavily influenced by the 4-place Bearhawk. it has the same wingspan - 33 feet - but slightly longer wings to make up for the narrower fuselage.

The tail is smaller because of a slightly smaller CG range and more effective airfoil-shaped horizontal stabilizer.
