Camper Plane Build: It's All Coming Together

SURPRISE! We're breaking the Sunday tradition this week... but for good reason😏👇 Garmin just shipped us our full avionics suite – and this camper-plane build is officially getting real. In this week of the Bearhawk 5 build, we: • Finish all the fabric work on the flaps • Unbox our Garmin G3X Touch, GI 275, and autopilot gear • Wrap up the wings • Lock in interior design decisions • Start paint prep on our flight controls 👀 With just weeks left before EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025, things are speeding up fast—and this is finally starting to feel like a real airplane. This is the world’s first Bearhawk 5 camper plane—built for off-grid flying and full-time adventure. If you're dreaming of building your own backcountry aircraft or love watching a big project come together, you're in the right place. — ✅ Sponsored by Garmin Aviation – Check out the full experimental lineup: 👉 https://www.garmin.com/en-US/c/aviati... — 🛠 Build Partners •Bearhawk Aircraft 👉Learn More About the Bearhawk 5 & their build assist:   / bearhawkaircraft   https://www.bearhawkaircraft.com/buil... https://www.bearhawkaircraft.com/bear... • Carbon Concepts – Everything Carbon fiber 👉http://www.carbonconceptsak.com/ • Airworx Aviation – Full engine teardown & rebuild 👉 https://www.airworxaviation.com • BWI Aviation Insurance – Get a quote in under 5 minutes 👉 https://www.bwifly.com • Evoke Aviation – Aircraft paint & custom design 👉 https://www.evokeaviation.com • Aircraft Spruce – Every part, every tool 👉 https://www.aircraftspruce.com • Pioneer Control Grips – Custom grips for any aircraft 👉 https://www.pioneercontrolgrips.com • Hartzell Propeller – Premium performance for every mission 👉 https://hartzellprop.com • Aircraft Specialty – Custom fluid lines & brake hoses 👉 https://www.aircraftspecialty.com • Whelen Aerospace Technologies – High-performance LED lighting 👉 https://flywat.com/ • Beringer Wheels & Brakes – Backcountry-tough gear 👉https://www.beringer-aero.com/en/beri... — ✈️ Subscribe to follow the full Bearhawk 5 camper plane build - from bare metal to backcountry adventure! 📸 Behind-the-scenes on Instagram:   / erinandpaulfly
