In May 2020, Bearhawk Aircraft launched the latest addition to its line of kit-built backcountry-ready airplanes with the Model 5—a six-place tailwheel aircraft “designed to fly fast and land slow,” according to a company release on March 1. That news shared that the first four of the Model 5 kits had gone out to customers, with construction already begun in some cases. The Model B saw two more first flights as well, with owners completing kits and getting them into the air in Idaho and California.
