I believe it was the first or second Columbia Fly-in that we had both a 14-9 (with a much larger engine) and a 14-12-F3. The F3 also had a slightly larger than original engine. A Franklin 150 as opposed to what I think was 125 HP Franklin in it originally. As some of you know, I live on a shut down airport (it was open when I bought here) and at one time I owned several parcels along side the runway. This is old ranch country, and there was a typical junk pile under some brush on the property, that had old farm parts and model T parts, etc. I was looking at this junk pile one day, and realized that there was part of an old fuselage among the scrap. I pulled it out and discovered it was the center section of a low wing Bellanca. I called Dan, and described the details, and he told me it was from a 14-9. I contacted one of the original owners of the airport, and he didnt remember any Bellanca crashing, or being abandoned on the field. It is just one of the little Bellanca mysteries. I am glad this part of the forum has gotten a jump start. _____Grant.
