Where you at in Canada bush caddy? Great looking build!

Thanks A1skinner!
Plane is located in Sarnia, Ontario. I'm currently overseas until next spring, so unfortunately I wont be flying it until then. Finished the inspection process and had it flightworthy a week before I had to leave. Thinking about building?

It is a 1960 7GCB with 150 hp. A poor man's Super Cub.

It has a crosswind stol kit out of Alaska. It was installed before I bought it. It includes a leading edge cuff.

More pics:

Very nice little John. Is that also a whirlwind ground adjustable prop? 78"? I have a 76 gcbc amd have been wondering if the crosswcrosswind stol would be worth the install on not.

I can't take credit for the photo, but this is my 1956 C180 under the northern lights of Canada's Eastern Arctic.

Ya WHat he said!!

OK, these are my planes:


This is Fouga Magister CM-170, French made, and I've had it since 1996.
I've done airshows in the US, Mexico, and all of Central America with it since then.


1943 C-47 that I have been restoring for 15 years.
It first flew 2 months ago after 5 years of neglect, and 15 yrs of restoration


1944 450 Stearman


My favorite airplane: 1944 L4 Cub C85-8





1957 Dornier DO-28 B-1, my next project!!
Great STOL taildragger twin
The first three pix are of my airplane. It came from the Israeli AF
The fourth picture is how it should look like when I'm finished, hopefully!

Patinloco, that is a beautiful assortment of aircraft. My favorite is probably the Stearman. Hope to meet you someday. Thanks for sharing.

I am so looking forward to when you bring the B-1 to America, or AK, I'll come see you then!!
That has to be one of the most beatiful planes ever built!!
I Know some of us are a little warped, but those that are in the same boat, know what I'm speaking of!!
GOOD ON YA

Thanks FARMAULE, I would love to meet you also. I do love the Stearman also. I love flying it, and respect landing it, specially on pavement!!

M6, I also think that the 28 is a really beautiful airplane. I can't wait to finish it and start flying it. I would really like to bring it to the States this coming summer, and do some backcountry flying in Idaho.

From what I know of it, I truly believe that if I had to sell all my airplanes but one, it would be the 28. It's just a great plane: comfortable, STOL, fast, and twin engine reliability (if you believe in that). I'd love to show it to you sometime. We'll stay in touch.

By the way M6, I don't know if you've read my original post on the Dornier? It's called "Dornier 28A-1". Soon after that I found out that it was not an A-1, but a B-1, which has bigger engines and three bladed prop. Also, a lot of people get it confused with the "D" model, which is a heavy clunker with geared engines. They're 2 very different airplanes.

what a toy box mate! thats incredible!

It's taken me a lot of years to it together. I also have a couple of Grumman Ag-Cats that I want to make into an aerobatic "Show Cat" like Gene Soucy's, but it'll have to wait for the Dornier, and for the piggy bank to be refilled again. Once I finish the Ag-Cat, I'll have to decide whether to sell the Stearman or not. I don't think I can afford to keep both biplanes. I tend to like the Ag-Cat better, although the Stearman has a lot more value as a classic/vintage. We'll see. That's a couple of years away still.

I failed to mention, the Ag-Cats are both wrecked. The plan is to make one good one out of the two fuselages. I have one good set of wings out the eight, and both engines are mid-time and running. Fortunately, the fuselages complement each other. Where one is wrecked, the other is OK, and vice versa. Essentially, all I have to do is cut both and put the solder the good sides together (sorta)!

PatinLoco, you have a great collection! One thing though: don't sell your Stearman. I did, because I had to, and I really miss it. I have flown a few different planes over the years and nothing actually comes close in beauty of flying to the Stearman. I'm sure you already know...
