USED PARTS        AIRCRAFT RESTORATIONS        AIRCRAFT SALES

Here are a few of the projects we have worked on over the years both homebuilt, owner-maintained  and certified:

 

We recently finished a total ground up restoration of this 160 HP Homebuilt Super Cub floatplane including the following work: 


As you can see by the above pictures this airplane is an unbelievable performer and is absolutely like a new airplane!!!

Texas Skyways O-550 Carbureted 2500 TBO!!!

3 Blade Black Mac McCauley

 THE ABSOLUTE BEST PERFORMING FOUR PLACE AMPHIB OUT THERE!!! 

Awesome performance - very light and 155 MPH on amphibs!!
(Will do a 185 MPH on wheels even with a 600 X6 heavy nose gear!!) 

 NEW EVERYTHING: 

 Texas Skyways 550 carbureted engine - 2500 TBO 300+ HP!!
Awesome engine - you walk by the starter and it comes to life - hot or cold - no hot start problems!!  Doesn't have complicated fuel injection system like 185!!  Idles at 350 RPM!! Remember K.I.S.S!! 

 Black Mac prop!!

Polished aluminum spinner!!

Heavy duty engine mount - the 185 style that take the large rubbers!!
With this mount it's very Smooth - runs like a turbine!!

All new 185 exhaust!!

 Skybolt carbon fiber cowling - no more cracked old cowlings!!

 

All of this makes it "pull like hell" and "run smooth like heaven!!"

Totally reengineered 182 float kit - the strongest you'll find!!

Strobes - wing tip and tail!!

Custom paint - metallic blue and silver trim colours - very classy!!

 

Selkirk extended baggage - basically doubles the baggage area!!

 It is an unbelievable airplane to fly off the ground, off the water, and in the air!!  I was given a mission to build the best amphib I could when we put this airplane together - I think we succeeded!!  

If you fly this airplane and then fly a similarly equipped 185 or 206, you'll find no comparison!!  This airplane is a joy to fly - lots of power, lots of speed, light on the controls, and is amazing off the ground and the water!!

Some people have two airplanes - one to go to the cottage and one to go to Florida - why have two -  this amphib can give you good speed and versatility for both!!

This ain't your "Grandfather's old 182" -
and if you take grandpa for a ride you better hope his heart's good!!! 

The following are pictures after we restored it:

New custom paint with "newer 172" style scheme - really sharp looking!!

Nice clean panel 

Custom Interior - 10/10

Rotorway Exec 162F we helped import from US

J-3 with 85 HP on wheels converted
to 100 HP J-3/PA-11  on floats

The above "Super 182" and a 180 that we converted to amphibs

Owner Maintenance 125 hp Pacer that we put on 1650 floats

Please feel free to give me a call if you have an airplane in mind, if you have a project that you've run out of "steam" on, or if you have something that needs to be rebuilt or restored - homebuilt, certified, or
owner - maintenance.
