Painting the Bearhawk logo didn't turn out very well. I was not surprised as Stewart's paint relies completely on a mechanical bond and it wasn't really possible to adequately sand the base paint inside the small and somewhat delicate letters on the stencil. It looked fine but clearly was not well bonded to the paint below and would have started flaking off pretty quickly. Plan B was to use vinyl so I made up a version using a small vinyl cutter and it worked perfectly. Obviously plan B should have been plan A!

Poking around on the net while trying to decide on how to make some headset hangars and I found Axia Alloys. They make a variety of items designed for roll cages. Not only do they have headset hangers but also some sun visors that are a perfect fit in a Bearhawk. Not inexpensive but still 1/2 the price of a comparable Rosen Visors product.

Also worked more on the flap. Fabric is now up to the rib stitching stage.
