Metallurgist checking in...

Abrasive removal methods do have the prospect of excessive heat input. I would worry more about flap sanding wheels and the like than the blasting methods but abrasive...

Barnstormer's Listing

Gentlemen,

Browsing around I saw the below listing on Barnstormers. I am guessing that it'd probably take the asking price again to get this thing airworthy?

336 on E-Bay

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem;PdsSession=c1932d1d1390a5e7a3702ed0ffe517b9itemId=120985256905&index=15&nav=SEARCH&nid=49401547317

Not my bird.

Gross weight differences O-2 vs. 337

Not that WikiPedia is an infallible source, but it seems like the O-2 had a higher max gross weight than the civilian 337. Wiki claims the O-2 could be as heavy as 5,400 lbs. while the 337B, made in...

A very germane point. Certainly the particular bird cited in this thread is not an AirScan unit, so it is not covered by the STC. As previously stated, I don't want to be a test pilot.

Ernie, I appreciate your point of view, but hasn't the 550 been STC'ed for the Skymaster? Thus, isn't a Skymaster with a 550, be it one or both engines, still certified?

THAT is what I am talking about!

Kind of a "best of both worlds" there. All the oomph you'd ever want, plus the ability to fly fairly economically at altitude.
