lars_opland Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Anyone notice yet that more & more of these Beavers are getting a longer nose, moving the engine farther forward to balance the loads that can be put in the longer cabin? This all started with moving the rear bulkhead aft. ...& what's the trick to posting photos here? -Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I did, very nice. I've not seen any of these before. I wish I had them when I was building my Matchbox kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have even had the engines replaced by those from Russia. And not forgetting the turbines/mk 3's and of course there's the one and only mk2 version that was built! They're like Land Rovers, youi never see two the same! Regards Reggie PS As for photo's I can't help you there as my copy n paste functions have gone AWOL on my I-Mac, so I need to do a software upgrade to correct that little glitch!

The Cameraman Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hi Paul, fabulous to see the King Beaver there! I'd love to see the very first one. Who know's, one day I may get a chance. Regards Reggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 A couple more taken on the same day as those above back in July 2006. The collection at CNAMm is one to behold!! It truly is a Mecca for 'real aeroplane' fans. I spent a whole Sunday there and went round it at least 3 times and twice on a guided tour of the storage hangar!! If you ever go to Canada and to Ottawa in particular a visit to this place is essential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I know my rodents... that's a Capybara. Was just about to say the same thing... I think that is the only thing I remembered from school,( ok apart from where it was), what a Capybara is. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_opland Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Cameraman, If copy & paste is all there is to it, I'll make a donation or 2... Nope. Evidently not....drat! ...but anyone who is a member of the Yahoo civilwings group can access some of them in my "Lake Hood" photo folder there. -Lars Edited September 7, 2013 by lars_opland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Reggie, The only "Russian" engines I've seen on DeHavillands are the Polish PZL units used on some Otters. I've been told those have all been replaced with turbo-props now, in Alaskan service, & I haven't seen any lately. Cheers, -Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, -Lars Hi Lars, Airtech of Cnada used to do a conversion with the Russian designed, Polish built PZL-3S, seven cylinder radial engine. This can be seen as fitted to C-GBUL and I think was rated to 600HP. Looks well odd with a 4 bladed prop though! Regards Reggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 After the "Stretched Beaver" commentary I really had to fight to keep from making some sort of double entendre "Flap" related comments. Still fighting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
