Ernie,

I'm intrigued by your comment that a 337 can be converted to fixed gear at essentially no cost. I know of one aircraft that has been so converted. It was for sale on skymaster.com. Is there...

336 engines

Were we ever able to resolve the issue of which engines were in the 336? Was it the A or the C/D? As I recall, they all had the A engine but I'm not at all certain of that.
