Austin, Texas-based Bearhawk Aircraft has launched a new taildragger kit, named the Companion. Unlike many taildragger designs, the Bearhawk Companion features a side-by-side seating arrangement, making for a more social flying experience. The configuration also provides both occupants of the airplane a full view of the instrument panel and improved forward visibility through the windshield compared with tandem-configured airplanes.
