Aerolites Sport Bearcat single place light sport eligible aircraft.

The Bearcat is basically a high wing mono configuration, tractor mounted engine, amateur-built aircraft with an all steel 4130 chromoly fuselage frame.

The welded fuselage is designed to accommodate all other components by a series of tabs to which the components are bolted.

The wing is a simple ladder construction with strong internal diagonal bracing. This configuration has supported over +6 and -4 G in static load testing. Aluminum ribs placed in upper and lower pockets in the dacron covering shape the airfoil.

Flight Characteristics

The Bearcat does not have a sharp breaking stall; it would rather mush than stall. Upon releasing the back pressure on the stick, the Bearcat's nose falls through slightly and it starts flying immediately.

Standard three axis control: conventional rudder pedals, throttle quadrant and joy stick controlled ailerons and elevator provide positive control through all speed ranges.

The Bearcat is a light sport aircraft with features that the experienced will feel comfortable with. Taildragger pilots will find the Bearcat is easy to fly, with good performance for short field operations.
