Hi Richard,

Some ideas:

Newer, lighter, avionics and instrumentation is the easiest from every perspective but your wallet. Also, remove instruments and avionics that you...

I think my message was not clear. I will shrink the pictures and post them elsewhere on the site, and put a link in your message, just to save space.

But if that is too much trouble, I know we all...

Jose,

If you have a lot of pictures to post, perhaps you could put them in a zip file (if you can, not required) and send them to me. I can shrink them to a more easily viewable size. The pictures...

The key point in Jerry's message is that he flies 250 hours a year. Very few 337s fly that many hours. The likelyhood of making TBO on an engine is inversely proportional to the amount it has been...

If you are running climb RPM, and running out of boost at 8500, I don't have any suggestions other than what you have already listed. To get cruise power above 16,000' or so, you generally need to...

Dale,

I have seen problems where the gear would operate with 28 volts, but not 24. So 24 volts at the motor may not be enough. I am not an A&P, so can't advise you really, but I know that we...

These comments make sense if you are ferrying the aircraft directly across the Pacific where lots of extra fuel is needed. But across the Atlantic, I would much prefer to be in a 337 over a single,...

I am not going to be good with specifics here, but if it helps to know that others have done it, here goes:

From '73 to '75 seats 3 and 4 are a fixed bench seat that rotates up to towards the ceiling to give access to the "baggage area" or 5th seat. Starting in '76, a bench seat is attached to rails on...

That is noticably true in roll, *when the flaps are down*. An RSTOL airplane sometimes requires roll assistance with rudder on final, and in the rest of the pattern it is a slug compared to a stock...

I have never had the door open in flight. You are not even supposed to TAXI with the top half of the clamshell door open, because it is part of the aircraft structure when closed. I must admit I...
