Did they give you a bid or did they decline to bid? I'm guessing they were over $40K if they did, engine rebuilds not included.

Don Nieser now has a prop shop and may have blades.

There's a D2AF34C59/76C-0 prop listed for sale on barnstormers.com.

Jim C,
They did not even give me a bid. Thanks for the tip on the prop. I don't know enough about props to know if that one will fit my plane. Have e-mailed him about that and price. He's only 7.5 hours away so may go pick it up myself. If this doesn't pan out then its a call to Don. I'm still hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars away from needing the prop, but it would be nice to have it in hand. KD

When Hagarstown aircraft came to pick up my 337, to start a rebuild, it took them three guys a long day. By the end of the day, the airplane was leaving on a trailer, wings off, and the booms + rudder + elevator assembly still together, but on the same trailer.

Its hard to motivate people when they are getting paid by the hour! KD

If you have any pictures of the whole effort I'd love to see 'em.
