Lookin' for a Stearman specialist
Mon Feb 28, 2011 7:26 pm
Hey gang,
I seem to remember somebody, but can't think of who here on WIX is a Stearman specialist. I know there's a few N3N guys on here too, but today I'm looking for the "other" yellow biplane people.
I've got a friend trying to sell a Stearman (or should I say collection of parts), but could use some stearman knowledge to come up with a reasonable asking price.
Can anyone help me out?
Peace,
David M

Jeff, there's got to be more N3N guys on here besides you, right?....... (chirp chirp)......
Hmm... guess not.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm friends with Bill Thompson who's got his N3N-3 on single pontoon, up near Pender Harbour, BC. I've never had the chance to go up with him in it, but I've been lucky to see it a few times. Quite the interesting machine standing high upon it's single float.

LOL,
I have had a couple of e mails with Bill, hoping to get out that way with dad so we can go get our feet wet!! Have not heard if his 2nd one is done yet.
