| cathie Burbank, CA | I have a vintage wood prop that I think was designed for the 1943 Interstate L-6 made by US Propellers Inc. Design # is 76FGS64, Serial #10265 (I think this serial number falls into the "rejected" category by the US Air Force), RPM 2200, HP 115, TC 737. It's an 8 bolt mount. Anyone interested in purchasing this, email me at cathie426@aol.com and make me an offer. It's in pretty decent condition and I can send photos. 06/30/2008 @ 20:33 [ref: 21731] |

| Ryan Richardson Brownfield, AB | Hi everyone.
My name is Ryan Richardson and im from Alberta Canada. About 15 years ago we started to tear down and completely restore our S1B1. We are now just trying to put the final touches on it. We are in desperate need of any aircraft blueprints and or any drawings of the aircraft. We upgraded the engine to an 0-320 and we need the blueprints for the engine mounts. Please if anyone has anything that can help us out it would be greatly appriciated. Contact info Ryan Richardson Box 36 Brownfield Alberta Canada T0C 0R0 04/22/2008 @ 12:01 [ref: 20678] |
| Vanessa Tromm Alice, TX | We (Third Coast Squadron Commemorative Air Force) are restoring a 1945 Interstate L-6 (S1B1) Serial Number 163. We are having a difficult time finding parts for our bird. Does anyone have any L-6 parts for sale or know where I could find some or have some made? We have an original Franklin engine and have heard that this engine had problems with overheating. In South Texas this would be a bad thing. Can anyone recommend a better solution. I would very much welcome any comments, information, and words of advice/encouragment to help us along with this project. 03/14/2008 @ 05:15 [ref: 20012] |
| Interstate L-6 , TX | The civilian paint job is just what it is, a civilian paint job. The #36 aircraft is very inaccurate. There were never invasion stripes since none went overseas. Also, this aircraft is missing the complete slanted greenhouse canopy and has the wrong tailwheel assembly and it's located in the wrong position. It also appears to be olive gloss. Who knows what else is wrong with it. The last one is completely accurate to the day it left the factory. I have seen this airplane in California and it is absolutely amazing. The detail and accuracy is phenomenal, down to all the interior accoutrements. . That's the example you want to use if you strive for originality. 03/13/2008 @ 05:59 [ref: 19997] |
| Stanley Hall Los Angeles, CA | I'm looking for information regarding the paint and military insignias used on S1B1. My plane is a 1943 Army. I have three photos of the Interstates here and they are all different. Could anyone shed light on this subject ? Thanks 02/06/2008 @ 17:09 [ref: 19581] |
| Eric Presten sonoma, CA | I would like to know if anyone has any photographic or documentational proof that an Interstate L-6 (not a civilian S-1a cadet) was ever put on floats prior to the last day of 1955. I am aware of the Arctic Terns involvement in the mid seventies 09/29/2007 @ 23:23 [ref: 18056] |
