Picked this up in Canada and working on importation paperwork.

Neat plane, I saw it up for sale. Every old pilot i know that got their licence before 1970 trained in these. I don't know much about them or have seen one in person. Cabin size similar to a taylorcraft?

Congratulations. I Love those things, there are some nice ones around here.

Quite a bit more cabin width than a T-Craft, full length skylight for good headroom, 105 lb baggage compartment,
Full panel and side by side sticks.
Put some 26 in tires and disc brakes,
3200 tailwheel and IFR GPS in it since
I got it.

Now That's a nice plane!

Now those are the biggest tires I've ever seen on a Fleet Canuck.

Was the standard aerobatic trainer 'round here years ago, I think the wing design limit was +\- 7g. Only 225 ever built.

Classic paint job on yours, nice.

Well the Canuck got it's Airworthiness Certificate today. 7 Field Approvals and one STC.
Built a new panel, wired the avionics (a first for me), disc brakes, Tundra Tires, Scott 3200 tailwheel, SkyTec starter and push button starter.
Brackett air filter and shoulder harnesses. The big one was a change from the original Fuel injection to a carburetor, that one went all the way to the Aircraft Certification Office!
Now to get time and weather to fly it.

Wow, that's a lot of work! Congratulations, grimm!

I know that being in the snow up north automatically makes for instant cred with this group. Here's one earning it's keep on wheel-skiis up at Ross River, Yukon in 1948.

Tell us about your paint scheme, for some reason most Canucks seem to be painted in that distinctive blue/yellow. Was that from the old Aero Club of BC standard?

As I understand it there were only two color options. According to my research
Most where blue/yellow.
Dave

If I'm not mistaken I think the Aero Clubs colours were white and blue.

What's the powerplant?

It has a C85-12 with the 0-200 crank.
Climb prop and 13,000 hrs on the airframe. No airframe AD's.
Dave

I like it.
