No mods here. Plane is as was in 1973 when it left the Cessna factory.

I have an OWL STOL kit.
The kit includes a leading edge and wingtips. I'm currently investigating replacing it with a Horton STOL kit, but they are unsure if the Horton STOL will cover up the rivit holes created when the OWL STOL kit was installed. I'm still waiting for the answer. Karl |

Just an update incase anyone might have a similar situation. A Horton Kit will not fit on the same foot print as an OWL STOL kit. I would have to get a new leading edge or wing skin replaced and that's not worth it in my opinion.

AE tanks and had AE tips
We have 20 gal tanks, (aviation Ent) and had winglets (AE) but after reading some of Coles posts and reviewing the SB we removed the winglets. Just did not want the stacked mods. Owen Bell supplied the stock style replacment tips and they fit perfect. We conducted the SB and found no bending, smoking rivits or distortions.
Sandy Loutitt PS cole I did send you a Private message though I do not know if you recieved it. |

Horton Stol Wing Kit and Aviation Enterprises Lightning Winglets. Is that considered a stacked mod? Guess so. When installing the winglets I first tried to use a sheet metal screw between the original screws but did not like the results. I installed rivnuts on all fasteners and it just is much better mounting process.

In my opinion the "winglets" give the airplane a goofy look. And there is no aerodynamic advantage to have them.

Original C336 And Fuel Questions
It has the original 46 gallons main fuel tanks and the 20 gallons auxiliary, for a total of 128 gallons, no reserve. I was planning to install the AE 20 gallons wing-tip tanks, but it is on hold until the NTSB clears those tanks from the C337 crash in NJ. I am considering instead internal aluminum tanks. Any suggestions?
FUEL QUESTION: Does any one has any experience in not getting fuel to the engines when low in fuel (7 gallons remaining on each main tank) and on level flight with flaps extended (low nose)? I understand some main tanks have front and rear tank-pipes to drain the fuel into the fuel selector, and others only have one pipe in the rear of the tank. Any suggestions or explanations are appreciated. Thanks. Are there any further news from the NTSB or FAA on the C337 crash in NJ? Alfonso. |
