C-337s

[A Squared]

Oh, I know they won't catch a citation..I was making a joke about a post from what seems like ages ago.


I thought at least FalconCapt would remember.

I caught the reference .... what did happen to that citation beater 337 anyway?

Shoot I don't know...Thanks for remembering though...I thought my memory was washed away in a sea of single malt.

Glad to know that I may be drunk...but I am not crazy

Any recomendations on the best shop or mechanic for a prebuy inspection? Central U.S. would be prefered. Thanks.

Actually a couple exist.
Don Neiser, runs Commodore Aerospace, at PWA. He is kind of an expert on them, and has tons of parts.
Farther north, my mech, at RMY takes care of 2 of them.
Ask the question at www.337skymaster.com if you want more information.

Actually, once, I was descending for TEB, from 7K to 2K, <10nm from the airport, and had to do a 90 right, then 180 left turn, because I was overtaking a Slowtation. It was exceptional, I had simply pushed the nose over, and was indicating above 190. Maybe a lot. Anyway, the slowtation was lined up on a 10 mile final, and they were losing spacing between me and him. It was just as well that they turned me away, because I had to slow up a LOT to get the flaps and gear down.

Here's their website.

http://02337parts.com/

You can call them. 405.503.4686
I was at their facility, 18 months ago, which is really a bunch of hangars, in one of the sections of T-hangars there. If you want an 0-2 with rocket launchers, or mini-guns (helpful when a slow citation is in front of you!!) they can set you up.

Incidentally, Don Neiser, the principal, got a silver wrench award at OSH for one of their restorations.

sorry to rehash an older thread but this happened somewhat closeby, 337 smashed into a house.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/treasurecoast/sfl-pplanecrash20oct20,0,3005898.story?coll=sfla-news-treasurecoast

The report is completely useless, melodramatic drivel from the survivor in the house, with nothing on the crash itself, but perhaps someone knows something on this crash? No clues from the report.

Saw this, or a similar report, earlier. Only significant note in the witness statements was that prop wasn't turning, and they heard a loud noise.
A different article, actually better written, except they describe it as a single engine

If you operate them on a gravel runway be real carefull, that rear prop takes a lot of abuse.
