I can only imagine the electrical power required for those old radios. I bet it is huge... and the weight! WWII build for functionality. Carbine not built for us short-round people.
R985-SB3 as installed in a D18 is max continuous 400 hp., Takeoff (one minute) 450 hp. R985-14B as installed in an E18S is max continuous 450 hp. Thanks for watching!
My compliments sir. It's evident your knowledge of this aircraft.
WOW. Great history lesson! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thanks for watching!
A great aircraft design. Fell in love with it after seeing the Tallmantz Twin Beech in It's a mad mad mad world as a kid.
A true barn find!!
So cool! Incredibly original!
During the interview I could almost smell it...old planes have a UNIQUE ODOR...!
I believe it's a mixture of barf, urine, hydraulic fluid, engine oil, and avgas... Beautiful bouquet!
Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing, what a cool old Beechcraft!

I have a new old stock left main windshield for this aircraft.
Really cool stuff! Can't wait to get mine together.
Save them all!
We always called the SNB's Secret Navy Bombers....
Would that make the JRBs Just Regular Bombers?... 🤔 Thanks' for watching!
@@HangaRatz those were just rusty bombers
Why are these barn finds always located in a hanger at an airport??? R-985 is 450hp not 400hp.
R985-SB3 as installed in a D18 is max continuous 400 hp., Takeoff (one minute) 450 hp.
R985-14B as installed in an E18S is max continuous 450 hp.
Thanks for watching!
Sad.
To get it going, rip all the old stuff out.
Yet is too decrepit to be a museum exhibit.
Wing Spar X-ray aside, this puppy is screaming for a resto-mod.
Oh yeah!
