Post subject: | Curtiss-Reid Rambler |
Hi, I am looking for documents/photos/parts (!?) related to the Curtiss-Reid Rambler. The Rambler was built in Montreal during the early 30's . The Canadian aviation heritage centre is building a MkII static replica and I have started the built for an airworthy Rambler I. More info here and here. I am looking for two engines, one ADC Cirrus II for the static replica and one DH Gipsy I engine. Photos of Rambler are welcome, I am looking to complete the production list: http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/ai ... ction.html There is no surviving rambler know today. All kinds of helps are welcome. ![]() |

Sounds like a really cool, ambitious project. I'll keep my ear to the wind for engines. They are out there, folks who have them are reluctant to part with them though. Andy Scott |

Regarding the engine, this is why I am starting to look for it now even if I do not plan to be ready to install it before at least 2 years and half. Wings, landing gear are common to all versions (Mk I, Mk II and III). The mk III, flown by J Webster during the 1931 King's Cup was with a Gipsy Major, a lot more easy to find. This is my backup plan ![]() I will update this thread as I collect information and with project's progression. |
