The kit arrives on schedule after placing the original order in December of 2021. Exciting day. Never really thought about building a plane until the November, 2021 AOPA Pilot arrived with a Bearhawk 4 place on the cover. After reading the article several times, a lot of research on Cub knock-off kits, and a few phone calls I placed my order with Mark Goldberg: 2 place Patrol with the float plane kit (extra door and beefed up rear float attach points). 25 hours of tail wheel time in a Citabria and really looking forward to both the build and tail wheel flying (back country and likely later amphibious floats). Great additional flying experience to N9BN, an IFR all business A36 I've owned for 25 years and logged 3,800 hours in.

Plan to deliver the fuselage to the new garage in several months once the construction is complete.
