| Mike appleton, ON | I am presently looking at a 1946 Taylor Craft on wheels with 65 Hp and I am interested if anyone knows whether this will get airborne on floats. I am about 200 lbs and have about 8 kilometers to get airborne. If so what size of floats and approx. the cost for used ones. It is ether this one or an ultra light.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. Mike Stockton stockton@storm.ca Thanks I originaly was looking for an ercoupe for floats but I have been told the last person tried that did not have a plesant expiernce way back when. 05/06/2008 @ 17:33 [ref: 20810] |
| W. Skot Weidemann Madison, WI | Greetings,
I bought a Taylorcraft L2M (N57525) in 1966 for $500 as a basket case, put it back together and soloed in it before getting my private license. At that point in time it was just another old airplane. As it aged, it became a maintenance problem (was parked outside) mostly because of it's cotton fabric and wooden wings, so I sold it a few years later to get a Luscombe. The model I had was the fully cowled version, had the spoilers that were removed and the turtledeck was faired in with formers and stringers. I believe it is still flying. At air shows I always look for L2's and sometimes see a few at Sun N Fun and Oshkosh Airventure. W. Skot Weidemann EAA 25948 09/08/2005 @ 20:29 [ref: 11185] |
| Walter Myer Camarillo, CA | As a USAAC Cadet I was sent to the College Training Detachment, Air Crew at Iowa Weslyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa in 1944. There I received 10 hours of flight instruction in the L-2B. Now I suppose that it was actually an L-2M because it did have spoilers on the top of the wing.
I would sure appreciate getting some good photos of the plane as I wish to build an radio controlled model of it. Walter G. Myer 06/28/2004 @ 05:06 [ref: 7709] |
