They don’t appear to have a problem displaying the swastika on the 109’s tail in the brochure..wonder how they got round that one?
Film work…..?
Quite a lot, according to the ad;
IO-550 in place of the original engine, three blade prop, a Peterson canard, 29 inch bushmaster tires and an aux fuel tank.
Hell of a beast but at $175,000 it wants to be!
Always did like the old 182, very smart and comfortable. We used to look after one at Cambridge airport in the mid 1980’s
A 182? Well, this little puppy is for sale…..you’d certainly have the only one on your street:eek:

I’m just reading Rotol, The History of an Airscrew Company by Bruce Stait at the moment…the Rotol wooden blades weren’t specifically selected because wood was a non-strategic material, although it was undoubtedly a help. The company developed wooden and magnesium blades at the same time, but found that the wooden blades were better in terms of production and repairability. There were three types of wooden laminate used, Jablo, Jicwood and Hydulignum.
Interestingly, some Rotol props were based on the German VDM type, and one of the most important machines used in Rotol’s factory throughout the war was of German manufacture too……
