I looked at this one when it was in Nelson. Good to see it in loving hands getting taken care of. I own a 337G (non pressurized) based out of Castlegar. Agree with the comments about the 337 being the most under rated GA twin out there!
well hell i just had a new a/c installed by kelly aerospace in mine and installed cameras so i can see the rear engine. i also installed the new reversable rear prop. also had my radar updated. but i have owned my 73 for 30 years. new paint 2 years ago, new leather interior 4 years ago. last year i also had a new glass panel.well garmin installed a new autopilot for me. maybe since i had this done last year is why you probably never heard from them. but mine is also known ice equipted/ also had the rear gear doors removed 6 years ago and as far as waxing it? well takes a long time.takes me 2-3 days to buff it out. big airplane lol i love mine but i fly it all the time. 5 years ago i had the 300hp engine installed. cruises at 250 mph all takes time and lots of money to update it. but you will never get your money out of it trust me. my panel cost almost as much as the plane is worth, i do not even want to know how much i have invested in it vgs etc etc. but it is the safest airplane for a twin out there. no yaw.if you lose a engine. also i had the bigger rear scoop installed for better cooling on the rear engine made a big difference,, i had flown my plane a bunch of times cross country this week i am having it ceramic coated. i also am a conserative weather pilot. i live in washington state new the canada border. so we get lots of snow and ice. i rarely fly it in the wintertime. heater is on all the time in the hanger.i love that plane i do not care what others think of it.and it is loud lol scares the deer on the runways..now i nave a major expense new tires and brakes this week, lol
Upgrade the prop hubs, a dozen of these things crashed because the rear engine hub broke and the prop took off the tail. Why do you think the military replaced these aircraft? The way things look and engine performance is meaningless if your safety is compromised.
bes tdamn airplane i have ever owned. i have also owned duke(piece of crap) a 340 and a 421 both are way more expensive to operate than the 337p and i lost a engine in the 421 scared the crap out of me and it was on take off. glad i had the pope on my shoulder lol i have also owned a 310 nice plane but also junk when a engine goes out the problems i have with other twins are yaw. ther eis no yaw with this plane. engine goes out like a 210. im getting ready to take the 337p to maint again then to a friend ranch o wyoming. i trust it with my life and my dogs life. i will tell you any single engine or light or heavy twin with out a/c is no fun,
What about just installing a 3 blade Hartzell scimitar prop in the rear and keeping the MT in the front? If no Garmin, try an STEC 65 or 3100. file:///C:/Users/New%20Profile/Downloads/S-TEC_3100-Autopilot_Brochure-1.pdf

If you can afford it, a full "glass panel" is a must for such a nice aircraft.😎👍 🇨🇦
My buddy used to fly Skymasters (his company owned 3), and he absolutely loves those airplanes.
YES looks like a pretty nice Airplane and I always liked the Cessna Skymaster !! Good Luck and have lots of Safe Flights !! ❤❤

Nice Skymaster. Feel free to reach out on camera options.
Great plane. Dont forget recurrent emergency training with a multi engine instructor.
Watching you closely, wish to buy one and hoping to copy your avionics.

This plane already has aftermarket three blade composite MT props and hubs etc.
@@WhiskeyKiloKilo - Of course, those props look brad new. 😎👍 🇨🇦

I’m still hoping garmin will stc the gfc500 for these. There are rumors it may be coming
@@WhiskeyKiloKilo not enough volume, but they may be willing to charge a premium - don't think they care about good will anymore.
