We Have 7 Days to Finish Building Our Plane

One week. That’s all we had to get our plane ready for inspection. In 7 chaotic, exhausting, incredible days, we went from scattered parts to a complete airplane — wings, gear, prop, avionics, everything. The shop was buzzing, the clock was ticking, and every bolt, wire, and paint touch-up mattered. This is the wildest week of the entire build, and it’s the moment we found out if our Bearhawk 5 was ready to fly. Huge thanks to Hartzell Propeller for supporting this series and powering our Camper Plane with their Trailblazer prop.
