Guys,

   I do like the Bearhawk, and my wife would love for me to build an airplane with that kind of capacity, however, In agreement with what several of you mentioned, the runway needs of the aircraft are not drastically different than a well powered RV7.  I am actually looking towards a Mackey SQ2 (for those unfamiliar, think Super-Duper Cub) or the Just Highlander, though not as large as I'd like, the price is a big seller. Both have TO-Landing in the sub 200' range. With either, I can use my yard as is, and they will fit in my shed too. No hanger rent, no runway to buy, no hanger rent, no drive to the airport to play, no hanger rent.

But don't give up on me just yet. I still plan to finish my 7. Though, I see a fellow is interested in my engine and accessories. That helps. I am pretty sure I could sell the airframe, the market is somewhat less flooded with rotary engine buyers.

I appreciate all the all the well wishes, and, as I said in the first post, this group has been a MAJOR contributor in my build, and my certainly my understanding of the engine and systems. 

Best,

Ben
Oooohh; one of my neighbors apparently knows the SQ2 guys, & one came through here a few months ago. You're right; that would work. :-)
