Antenna Mounting Locations

Antenna's mounted on this ship will include:

• 1 Comm (Avidyne IFD-540)
• 2 GPS (Dynon 10" Skyview HDX & Avidyne IFD-540 Navigator)
• 1 ADSB in/out
• 1 Transponder
• 1 ELT (ACK E-04 406)

I personally prefer no hair on the top of my airplane, consistent with my head. 😎The only comm antenna is mounted at the rear of the tunnel.  (Fuselage is rotated on the rotisserie)

The T3 Tailwheel Dual Coil Over Shock Suspension

It's been described, "like landing on a cloud!"  Maybe.  But I am pretty sure the T3 Tailwheel Suspension System will make for improved tailwheel dampening on landings for the Bearhawk 4 Place.  The B Model Bearhawk kit comes with a tapered round spring tailwheel suspension.  The large end of the round spring fits into a receiver built into the kit frame.  The kit does not include the tailwheel assembly itself and the builder will need to source their own.  I purchased my tailwheel for the round spring suspension from Eric Newton, owner and builder of Bearhawk Tailwheels, LLC.

Eric Newton's (Bearhawk Tailwheels, LLC) tailwheel assembly mounted to the kit included round spring suspension.
