Accurate fuel flow
Just a question I need some advice on.

Landing speeds
Can anyone tell me how much the Horton STOL kit changes the landing speed? When I fly by the POH numbers, there is still a tendency to balloon with flare.

Exactly what I believe too. I would rather get the gear down sooner than later, and have it confirmed. That's one thing less to worry about once things start to happen quicker in the circuit. When I...

My first flight
So, I had my first 337 flight yesterday. I was quite apprehensive, since all my experience comes from flying my beloved 172. And this 337 looked just a tad daunting. But, armed with my CFI and a...

Anyone been to the Azores?
I guess another way of finding out if such a trip is do-able, is to fly from Vancouver (BC) to Brandon (MB), and then turn up north-west to Saskatoon (SK). This trip is 20 miles longer than a trip to...

Joined the Ranks, folks!
Hello everyone,
My name is Jakes Dekker, and I am addicted to 337's.
So, I bought one.
She's the most beautiful '76 337G I've ever seen - and now she's mine.
