I'll check with them (Nashua) as part of the decision process, Guy. It's as convenient a location as I'll find; been to a couple of EAA workshops there. I can certainly live with the camo awhile...

Thanks once again for the furhter amplified information, Dave. It appears now I may have a 3-4 month lull from survey commitments over the summer. If that holds and I get a suitable hangar location...

Hello Guy -
Thanks for the tip; their name also came up from a couple of other contacts. So I actually got a quote from them last week - which sort of watered my eyes: $22+K. They're clearly a...

Can't offer any advice on the alternator, but my plane had a leaky brake swivel fitting. Not sure they can be rebuilt (i.e. new 'O'rings); a very competent mechanic in my local shop tried to take it...

Guy -

I purchased four of the PARAT C hoods from Aircraft Spruce at about $150 each. Not cheap and I think there are others at less cost (and less capability). I got them for my whole survey crew,...

For ngb-

I tend to agree with Larry Bowdish. I frequently take my 337D (non-STOL) in and out of the 2300' blacktop strip where I live, and we're surrounded by tall trees. If I'm where I should be...

Thanks

Appreciate the info so far. I didn't even know this was a factory option. Anybody else who can shed more light (so to speak) on such an installation, please weigh in!

Belly Photo Port

Can anyone vector me to some info on installation of a belly photo port on non-pressurized 337s, any STCs that have been done, etc.? I did a search on the forum but came up dry.
