Anyone know where this plane is? If memory serves me it was in a hangar in Mesa Az years ago and need recovering. The registration is current. Is John Penney a member? Could it still be hiding in a hangar? Thanks Ben

Greetings, Pulled the wings to recover and have found significant cracks in the wing spars. So unless some one has a set of 14-19 wings, I have a project for sale. 50 SMOH O-435A with one month on 5 year AD on prop. Very Sad Day

Hello all Does anyone have any experience with doing a model change from a O-435-A to a O-435-A2? Thanks Ben

If one of ya'll have your bird opened up for recover, or wings off. Please let me know. I would like to look around inside so the I have a better understanding of my bird. It will also give me a reason to get out of the Phoenix heat. Cheers Ben

Hello All, In organizing my 14-19 materials. I came across issues of The Bellanca Pilot. Aug 1970 through Oct 1971, May 1972, July 1972 though Jan 1973, Mar 1973 through June 1973, Oct 1973, Nov 1973, Jan 1975 through Aug 1975, and Mar 1976. Also found is Plane and Pilot Mag article, "the...

Hello all, Happy Holidays What I've learned; On my 14-19 the downlock release actuator has two ball bearings in it, one small and one large, along with a spring. It is critical that they are installed in the proper order. The bottom, or pressure side for retract, the hardline connects via a...

Does anybody have a source for a engine driven fuel pump AC 1539722? 14-19 Lyc O-435 -A Thanks Ben

Happy Holidays all, Does anyone have pictures of the main wing fuel tank installation? Thanks Ben

Hello all, Has anyone had success or failures with splitting the nose cowl. I know its been done. Wondering about the pitfalls, etc. Thanks

Hello all Got to fly the ole bird yesterday. It was a beautiful day. I have worked on the fuel gauges and got them all up to speed. So on this short flight I figured I would use up the fuel in the aux tank. Well, I ran it dry. No fuel pressure, no more zoom! Selected the fullest main tank...

Any body know about changing out the voltage regulator to a solid state? Got a source for the old style or solid state? Also does anyone have a source or idea about the fuel sending unit? Couldnt see any part numbers. Thanks Ben

What were the production numbers for the 14-19? Dusted 'er off an dropped into Copperstate Fly-in. Had a wonderful troublefree flight. It was a very good day, what a nice cruiser!

I have been resurrecting a 1950 14-19. There was a lapse in annuals from 1976 to 2007. She sat quietly and comfortably in a hanger until I came along and woke her up. Along this adventure was installation of new interior, new radios, and numerous parts. I knew that the more I exercised her...

Anybody have a good towbar idea? My hangar is close on either side of the horizontal. Its a real dance to get the tailwheel turned around and out the door with a rash.

Well today 6579N (s/n 2032) rose into the air. The first flight after a 18 month annual ( the last annual was in 1975). New interior, radios, and a lot of new parts. Good thing there wasn't a CFR, would have heard alot of hooping an hallering. Thanks to all of you who gave me tidbits of info...
