Any skymaster fans here??

OP, here's your chance: http://www.aso.com/listings/spec/Vi...al=True&pagingNo=1&searchId=17061494&dealerid=

Asking $17,500 and they'll consider offers! Only need a little TLC.

Do the 337s have a gear saddle issue?

Nope.

How is the fuel system on the skymaster set up ? One draws left one draws right or is there a 'both' position ?

When everything worked, it was great. Start having engine, pump, tank issues and it becomes a nightmare (in the older models).

Ya know guys....... For some reason I never connected the dots. BUT... The Skymaster would make the perfect test bed for my powerplant...... Buy one with a trashed motor and install the prototype.... Run the siht out of it like I do with my Zenith, only I would have a extra wide margin to get it back on the ground if one of the motors has a " unplanned disassembly":wink2:....


Hmmmm.... Now to start looking for a 337 with a bad motor but a good airframe...

That sounds awesome!!!

Here is something I didn't know about the Skymaster series...

They stuck one on floats! (looks like a 336)

I knew you could stick a Cherokee 6 on floats.

Thread drift...

Piper even put a Cherokee 180 on floats... PA28-180S model.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Piper_PA-28_on_floats_N7866W.jpg

Yes, it is a C-336.

More than just the thread is drifting.

That looks like it would be a lot of fun (not!) approaching a dock with high pilings.

There was also a Model PA-28S-160 and PA-32S-300.
