Whilst delivering a light sport this week up through the storms in Al, KS and MO,
I happened to set down at small airports to sample their fine, "pot conditioned"
coffees and reading materials. In the May issue of Fly-Low, there is a nice
puff piece about Dennis and Doc's airplanes. I'm wonder how much these Wetumka
Warriors had to pay for this kind of press?
Congrats, guys

Barry,
Wasn't this hot new airplane you obviously have a financial interest in the
same one featured in the June 2001 issue of Air Classics?

The F-22 didn't take that long to get into the air.

I flew "close" to a T-28 tonight and when we got back on the ground, we talked
Yak-50's. I think I may have another convert.

They are like Lays Potato chips. "You can't eat just one!" As for the 50, once
you've flown one, you can't not fly it again and again!
And, they do not cost anywhere near what is proposed for the Bear 360 or the YAK
52TW.

I'm not much into hot air balloons but i love to watch them. They're kind of silly,
tragically expensive and completely impractical but i admire the imagination
and guts of the guys and gals who own and fly them. If they do nothing other
than inspire our children then it's worth it and i'm glad someone is doing
it.
Same goes for the Bear 360 or anything else that flies. Don't care what it is.
Don't care if it takes a lifetime to get right. If that damn thing flies (and
it does) then you've done an amazing thing. If it doesn't then at least you
gave it a shot. God speed and good luck!

You guys kill me! LOL! First, I have no financial stake in the airplane. Skip Holm and I have become acquainted during the recent filming of "FAST GLASS" (in theaters 2008 - a story for another day www.afterburnerfilms.com). Skip was at our facility in Chino picking up one of the L-39's for the movie, and liked what he saw. He asked if he could keep the Bear at our facility, do the maintenance, etc. Why not?
Second, the $200K price I quoted was "turn key" with $20k in avionics and another
$15K for show quality paint. You can do a Bear for about the same price as
a new Yak-52TW...and go *80* knots faster for the same fuel burn.
As for glass panels in warbirds, you'd be surprised at the level of interest in
the Yak/CJ crowd....and it keeps growing. When you consider the bang for the
buck you get out of the EFIS units designed for the experimental market, it makes
lots of sense. Some are die hard traditionalists....and that's dandy with
me... ;)
Finally, for anyone that has seen the Bear, you know it is rough in the cockpits...it
is a prototype. I'm sitting down with Skip tomorrow to give him my input
on what needs to be done to make it attractive both from a cosmetic and human
factors standpoint...beyond that, you're guess is as good as mine.
I personally would like to see the plane succeed and I'll be the first one to tell
you there's some work to be done...I'm just passing along information, so
don't kill the messenger.... ;)
Cheers,
Barry
PS Two more completely stock CJ's will be coming on line in the next week or two...and
I DO have a financial stake in those! ;)
