My wife and I are building a Bearhawk Model 5 from a kit in our garage. The Bearhawk Model 5 is a large utility bush or STOL aircraft that we think will be perfect for our commuting and adventuring travels.
Our goal is to document our build and show as much of the process as possible, but none of this channel's content should be considered instructional.

Instrument Panel Design, Cutting, Labeling, LRUs, etc.
In this video we show how we laid out our Bearhawk Model Fives panel digitally, transferred the design to the panel, labeling, the installation of Garmin G3X system line replaceable units (LRU), and other electrical components. We will show how we designed and laid out our panel using free software, and then walk you through the process we used for cutting and labeling. We also demonstrate how we made brackets when necessary and the installation of all our Garmin LRUs and other electronic components.

Interior Covering With Oratex
