In the end, I wound up buying an old Aero Commander 520 from 1953 beginning of this year. I'm sure she will give me plenty of headaches and sleepless nights. She did perform well during the ferry...

You will get a lot of Cessna 337 for that kind of money. Perhaps have a look at the Riley Skyrockets?

Interesting.

So, when you buy your aircraft and call the insurance company up to get a quote and they say "well, you need 100hrs in type before we can insure you" all you do is hop in the aircraft...

When you guys say uninsured, what exactly do you mean?

Do you mean forfeiting hull insurance and taking the risk should it get banged up? Or do you mean not having any liability?

How does that...

I appreciate you coming out of retirement for me Roger;)

But what everyone is trying to convince me of (but mostly themselves) is this:

Ernie, I think everyone is missing the point. I'm not talking about odd opportunities. Those exist in all markets and like you said, are rather random. Right time, right place kind of things.

With all due respect, I think some of you are still a little bit reluctant to accept just how bad the times are. For all aircraft, not just for Skymasters.

That could be a solution. A de-rating of the engine and less useful payload.

The new 250hp RR300 turbine in the Robinson R66 is an interesting development and could potentially be a good fit for a...

Have fun. I would have loved to come see all your 337's, but it looks like work will keep me away from Oshkosh. Too bad. Next year, hopefully.

It seems I've found a quick way of financing that Riley Rocket now - just get a quick STC for new cowl flap motors and sell them for $200, done deal. Millionaire within the week..:)

Listen Cole.

There wouldn't be a forum like this or a second hand market for these aircraft if it weren't for people much like myself, so why the patronizing tone? We were all first time buyers at...

That aircraft should not be much more than $30.000 with those times, in my opinion.

Compare the above to this aircraft:

I follow the 337 market very closely as I'm on the hunt for the right plane. I'm not in a terrible hurry, but will hopefully buy before the end of the year. Anyway, it amazes me how huge the...

Tbo?

TBO is under the minimum word search length for this forum, so excuses if this has been asked already.

What is the TBO of the IO-360-C engine in a 337F? There's an aircraft that sounds interesting,...

Could someone summarize to a neophyte like myself which Skymaster versions had the simplest fuel management? Were the tanks interconncted from the -G model and simplified their use?

I don't own one yet.

Love to have a P model, but for my budget it's going to be one of the early normally aspirated ones, I thinks.

Thanks for the info.

A ferry tank is both cheaper and easier when you ferry to Europe. However, if the aircraft ever has to go back, it needs a whole slew of approvals from various dignitaries and...

I'd like to ad that I wouldn't fly that route myself, I'd have it ferried by a more experienced pilot. It's just that if it does that trip more than twice, then the mods probably make sense compared...

Long range capabilities of 337 and modifications

Can I ask another question?

I hear ya all and I'm taking it in.
