Few comments on Mods for 337
Hello Jeff,
I live in Calgary and fly out of CYBW, and own N81C a 1973 T337G. When we purchased the plane it had a long list of mods, wing tips, extensions, MT props, etc. Slowly for various reasons (AD) sensitivity to rock chips on the rear prop etc we have been removing all of our "tric parts", and I have to say I think the plane operates and performs better in stock trim than with all the other stuff. On hot days going west ( MEA 16k) loaded at gross we get 500 feet a min at 120 MPH indicated, which is fast enough to keep all cyl temps below 380. I don’t ever remember seeing anything less. We are turbo charged and inter cooled. (is that one word?) Good luck on your search, there is a plane listed out of Victoria that has a Canadian reg but I think a substantial amount of deferred maintenance.
