Airspeed as fuel flow
As everything with Stick and Rudder, very interesting. I compared it to the USAF Dash 1 for the O-2A. Best glide is 100 kts at 4400 pounds. The performance charts say best long range airspeed is 104...

Power settings
Thanks for another reason to get a G4T. Great picture. I had my tach and prop checked during my most recent annual. Actually it was part of calibrating the fuel system after that was overhauled. One...

Herb,
Good to finally meet you. In the several places my plane was on display, several people came up to me and said they were looking around trying to see Skymasters but couldn't find any. I know...

Skymaster Maintenance
You want to talk about costs and maintenance nightmares? Try keeping a Baron!
(The only advantage there is that Baron parts are easier to find.)

I spoke with the Delta Hawk people at OSH. They are focusing on their smaller 160 hp engine which they say delivers the equivalent of 180 hp performance. No idea how they measured that. They seem to...

O2 Weights
As stated below, Skymaster models from straight 337 to 337D increased every year with no (or very slight) changes to the airplane. As it was explained to me at RTC, every year, Cessna was able to...

OSHadventure
I was one of those O-2's over in Warbirds. On Thursday, the gray camo-patterned O-2 left and was replaced by a pre-1971 C-337 painted up as an O-2B. The pilot was trying to sell the plane and figured...

O2A Weight
