Well, one I was looking at was being sold by "a friend" - that's not too uncommon. They didn't know which STOL it had. I know of at least one plane currently listed online by an aircraft dealer that...

I think I found a partial difference:

All Robertson kits came with tail boom fairings. Some Horton kits had tailboom fairings, and you can purchase tailboom fairings without either STOL kit.

I think the problem in finding differences is that Horton basically copied Robertson. Both have a leading edge cuff, stall fences outboard of the flaps and large rear cowling VGs.

I was wondering if anyone with a Robertson STOL could confirm that they actually did get a GW increase.

Gross increase with STOL?

If you look at the old Robertson brochures, they claim a GW increase for A-E models. Is this a typo, or do you really get a GW increase? Can someone with one of those models actually confirm the...

Horton/Robertson differences

Are there any differences between these two that can be indentified from photos or an exterior inspection without dropping the flaps?

Was it a failure in the pump itself that caused it to oscillate between pressure & no pressure on each revolution?

I was pretty sure no models had the door as standard, but the NTSB report made me think there was an STC. The Circuit breakers seem like a deal breaker for that.

I assume the storm window gives...

I've seen lots of pictures of early unpressurized 337s, but I still haven't seen a pilots side door - or even a large window that opens, for that matter.

Pilot's side door?

Do any of the 336 or 337 models come with a pilot's side door? For those that didn't, was there ever an STC for one?
