| Richard Kelly Fort Myers, FL | I have a friend in Indiana that has (2) Timms and I think both are air-worthy. One of the pictures on this site is of his plane, yellow with 8-ball on side of fuselage. I have ridden in this plane a couple of times and it is a great plane with the radial engine up front. I think the plane shown in the hanger was purchased by this same man and flown from California to Indiana 4 yrs. or so ago. I was thinking that his might be the only ones flying but don't know this for sure. He has his own hanger and air strip but at the time I took the picture he had it hangered at Pope Field in Greenfield, IN. I have wanted to build an RC Timm of about 25% size but have never been able to find any plans or 3-views of it. 11/12/2008 @ 12:19 [ref: 23051] |
| Sally Howard Ojala Mission Viejo, CA | Hi - I am gathering some history for my dad, Frank T. Howard, who at the age of 92 is writing a family history book with my help. He was an Inspector with the Army Air Corp and Timm in Burbank was one of his facilities - this was around 39(?) Does anyone remember him or the Buckley's - I believe Charles was the son, (maybe the father too). The dad ran the plant. I would love to hear from anyone who might have some info for us. Thank you!

| Ray McCoy , CA | We flew the Timm N2T-1 in D stage of Primary Flight Training at NAS Memphis in early '44. It was a great plane and a a joy to fly. but had a tendancy to nose over if the brakes were misshandled on landing. One of my friends had a prop come off in formation flying. He landed, side swiped a tree that removed the engine and everthing from the instrument pannel forward. He walked out of the cockpit uninjured. 06/14/2008 @ 12:50 [ref: 21425] |
| Paul Stakun Zephyrhills, FL | Back in the 1950s, I remember a Timm N2T that was flown as a private aircraft at my hometown airport in Leicester, Massachusetts. It was a smooth flier and looked rather sleek. Unfortunately, the airport and the Timm are probably long gone. 03/29/2008 @ 05:45 [ref: 20279] |
| Charles Temple , OR | I flew the N2T at Livermore in May of 1943. I have not seen one since. 02/04/2008 @ 20:06 [ref: 19554] |
| Richard Stefanick Morgantown, WV | I have my Father's log books and in them he has recorded flights in the Timm, Model 604. His name was Gus Stefanick. I can remember the aircraft when I was young, the large radial engine with the two open cockpits. I remember there was also a photo taken of him and a Mr. Cutlip who flew here many years ago. My father passed away in 1984 and his log indicates that he flew the Timm in 1952 when he owned it.
I have taken up the legacy of my Dear Father and I also have a pilots license. I was stationed in Pensacola in 1976 and was in the Navy. I wish that the Timm was there then... it would have been great for him to have seen it. 01/23/2008 @ 13:33 [ref: 19409] |

| Keith R. Wagner Reseda, CA | mom is 94 years old and worked at the Timm plant at Van Nuys airport when i was about 2 or 3 yrs old. she remembers talking to one of the pilots and him telling her that he was getting ready to take off in the plane that she had just worked on. she didnt realize that she may have been the last person to work on the plane before it was flown and that made her a little nervous. she said that she strung the wire loom and worked on the pitot tube. i dont know if her memory is correct on the matter but it is interesting to hear her tell the story. 12/23/2007 @ 17:42 [ref: 19025] |
| john drews lakemills, WI | i am flying a timm n2t-1 that i recently restored, i believe there is only one other flying as of now.most of the airplane is of conventional aircraft construction.
the fuselage is another story.it is built by laminating thin strips of spruce veneer to form a plywood shell that is glued to formers &longerons to form the fuselage.repairing this type of construction is quite difficult. the timm fly's nicely and is normal in all flight parameters. i might add that it is for sale john drews 12/06/2007 @ 07:04 [ref: 18813] |
| Michael Goldschmidt Swanzey, NH | I, too, would be interested in getting technical information on how the wooden fuselage panels were manufactured. Does anyone reading this have this information?
