Coordinates......that would be too easy.


Smoothly played...putting the coordinates up on the web is dangerously close to an invitation. Though if you own the salvage rights to any crashes, you might be able to upgrade your radio stack at minimal expense...

Reply to Buzz's question about n4650C's ammendments.

Engine is the Lyc. 0360-A1A. Recent "Gold Eagle" overhaul. Latest 80 CS Seaplane prop from Hartzell.
c-180 legs with Alaska 26" tires and double piston brakes.

I put on the 26" tires after a friend of mine got is 800 tires stuck in a squirrel hole at Sulphur Creek where it is not a good idea to "power out", took bout half dozen of us to lift it out.

There is an IFR certified panel, way more than I know how to use.
Some additional 15-20 STCs, including Harry Delickers Long range, 67 gal, tanks. BAS harness and pull handles, Vortex Gens. Have aquired approval for a local 337 to add the v-gens on the vertical Stabilzer also. Not done yet. Atlee Dodge right rear seat. "Cargo" interior. etc. etc. etc.
The Fuselage was completely jig rebuilt with new parts from the rear door post to firewal in2000 / 2001. So, core birdcage is all new, not 50+ yrs old.

Come by to Reid Hillview (RHV) if would like to see it and fly it sometime
PM for phone number if interested.

It is better to be late in this world, than early in the next.
