Re: 182 amphibian on a budget

Flight:
Floats are going to 67 182 -engine (TIO-470-C) is going to my 56 182 ,"Rebuild of Georges old 182 float bird will come back as a 180 with P.Ponk -Bill Berle is using this as his first 182/180 STC . Lighter gear by a 1/3rd. Need to find a Wing Jig -certified and Fuselage jig --- if none are found I'll build one. It's cool to be busy ! :D :D :D

Be jealous all you want bring Cash and you can have one or 2 -that makes 5 airplanes to do ???? 3 of mine all for sale at right price . 8)

George -much further north and were (your) in Canada -cute airport 63s .The 1200 mile drive south was a pain -24 hours straight thru to Vegas . Doug and Scott hauled the rest to Needles another 2 hours.
