Anyone out there had a good experience with any company, other than "Pacific." I'll have one or two available that are suited to the "K" engine in the -2 Cruisemaster. Available at my cost. Dan

Once again, there appears to be little or no interest in pre-war Bellanca history.

If you are in need of the proper oil cooler for the O-470K in a -2 Cruisemaster, there is one on Ebay now. #264562016598. Price is Ok and it looks to be in OHC with tag. When mine blew two summers ago, I was grounded for a month trying to find a replacement.

Robert, You cannot post to comment on your complaint about doctors refusing to deal with "basic med" Same thing about mechanics and CFIs. After years of having to maintain a first class medical, I went Basic med last year. The biggest problem was convincing my primary care doctor that she could...

I happened to notice that it has been ONE YEAR since the last post here. I'll ask Mr. Szego to delete this from the forum as there is no interest.

Grant, Are you back in the fire zone? Save your stuff!

Warning to all... I had some reception issues with my one year old Lightspeed headset recently. When I checked the batteries, I found both Duracell batteries had leaked crap all over the inside of the receptacle. They were dated 2022, so not old at all. I just changed the AA Duracells in a...

I posted some info on the spinner project JeffW's original quest. The estimated costs are in [and are in line with my projections]. I'm going to need firm orders, including money, to get the ball rolling. Read what I wrote. If you have questions, call or email. This project will do or die about...

Who is going to buy that 14-19-3 on Ebay. It closes tomorrow. Check it out. Dan

For the second time this summer, I have heard on local news that a battery charger caused a fire that burned down the garage, home and neighbor's house. A longtime friend, A&P/IA, had a battery charger start to overheat and smoke in his shop a few years back. I think it would be a good idea to...

Because I haven't gone on any extended trips in the Cruisemaster in the last couple years, I haven't put any fuel in the aux tank...it remained empty. With fuel prices at relatively low point, I put in 10 gallons before a recent trip. About 10 minutes into the trip, my daughter, in the back...

This topic moved to Pre-Cruisair Bellancas

I switched over to the Aeronca Aviators forum and in an older topic where the topic was cleaning the debris out of the bottom of a fuel tank. It was suggested by one that the fuel should be drained as much as possible and suck the rest out with a shop vac. I sure hope none of us would ever do...

Today is Veterans Day......A few of our members have served. Let's have some information from members and staff about Bellanca's contribution to the War effort, 1941-1945. Dan

People have been burning up airplanes and hangars from the very beginning. Cigarettes, welding torches and nitrate dope were probably involved in many fires. For the third time in my 50 years in aviation, I have had a friend lose everything in such a fire. Every one of these disasters had it's...

In an attempt to revitalize this branch of the forum, I am looking for members' photos of pre-war Bellancas that were taken from the mid-'50s, back. Surely, there must be some old pix that have never been published, that are in old frames, albums or collections. What can you dig up? Let's get...

For those of you with access to the Smithsonian's "Air and Space" magazine, July, you will find a very complementary article about August Bellanca and the Skyrocket II on the last page.

For anyone knowing or caring: Apparently, Miss Veedol, recently of Wenatchee, WA., Now residing in Northern Japan, survived the earthquake and tsunami. This is according to Dan Stewart. It might be glowing, but it is still there. Dan

Has anyone been able to procure this part in recent times? I have new mag absorbers but no good ones for the generator. Dan

New topic,boys...Thank god for three dot journalism. I'm not a " You Tube" junkie, but if you will type in "Northrop Flying Wing," There is plenty of footage of all these airplanes, Including the B2. The point is, that Northrop, a SoCal company, tried one of it's neighbors, Menasco, to...
