The LSA is a small airplane with big performance, built with the modern man in mind. The LSA may be the smallest aircraft we make, but it benefits from all the features standard to Bearhawk. Oil dampened suspension, modern Ribblet airfoil, and precision manufactured single strut aluminum wings make this airplane a top performer both at the bottom and top of the airspeed envelope. With cruise speeds rarely seen in this category of aircraft, the LSA will quickly get you and your passenger to your destination with plenty of space for all the extras.

The LSA is a truly capable backcountry traveling airplane. While we desired to create a versatile and affordable airplane, it became so much more. The large wing area coupled with the overall light weight of the aircraft grant the LSA an exceptionally low wing loading. These features create an unbelievably light and well balanced flying experience. Plain and simple, the LSA flies how an airplane should fly.
