Took a look at the Murphy Super Rebel and the Aerocomp Comp Air 6. I must
say, I'm impressed. The Comp Air 6 is real nice. Both these aircraft are
getting into the 'quite expensive' category, but they're still a hell of a
lot cheaper than a new Cessna (or a used one in some cases).

Everyone that's responded so far has given me valuable information. I
certainly appreciate it!!

Thanks,
Lyle

You wouldn't be stuffed like a sardine into a Bearhawk. If you want a
similar sized plane that will accept tricycle gear, look into the Murphy
Super Rebel kit but good luck building one for less than your stated
budget. Other options might be one of the Aerocomp kits or an RV-10,
but again, I don't know anything about the price. Part of the
Bearhawk's huge appeal is that you have the choice of building from
either a kit or from scratch.

Oh, and one other thing...I hate to say it but, easthetics does play a
little role in my choice. For my eyes, I can't see myself owning a BD-
4 or a Bearhawk. I understand everyone has a different eye for beauty.
I'm partial to something a bit more newer looking and sleek.

There is something wrong with your eyes if you can lump the Bearhawk
together with the BD-4 looks wise. Do you have a current medical
certificate? Seriously.
