Skip Holm just delivered the Bear 360 prototype to our facility here in Chino. This plane is an animal! Performance figures on the airplane are staggering....and Skip's real world experience with the airplane validates the published test numbers. 210 KTAS cruise at 75% power, 250 KTAS full power at SL. Vne is 305 KIAS!!!!!!!! 850 nm range. This is a very exciting aircraft with lots of potential. Skip says the plane flies superbly with nice control harmony. He's gonna check me out in the front seat soon, so I'll be posting my impressions shortly. Plane was engineered to FAR 23....build quality is excellent. You can literally walk out to the end of the wing with no problem. Plenty of baggage space and room in the cockpit. We are working with Skip on the "Human Factors" of the cockpit, a better looking canopy, etc., but once this is straightened out there won't be anything that can touch this performance for the money.....turn key with a glass cockpit, modern avionics, and show paint will be just under $200K! I'm still learning about the plane myself, but if you have any interest in this M14P powered screamer, I can fill you in on what I know. Also, we are currently working directly with Greg Richter at Blue Mountain Avionics to develop an engine pod for our 9 cyl. radials....we should have the first unit installed in about 2 months. I'll keep you guys posted.
