Thank you for your interest in our amazing planes, Larry! I’ll bump your request up the chain to get the word out to everyone. You’ll get some great stories.

Sedona is ON Hans! I hope to see you again this year. You’re becoming more of a regular than some of the owners, so you NEED to bite the bullet and buy one of these great planes. Mr. Lyon’s Red Menace was just added to the for sale section of the website…

The post for the fly in is making its rounds for edits and should go live tomorrow.

Welcome Andy. I took am glad that Flip’s plane is in good hands. I hope that you can make it to Sedona to meet some of your new family in September.

Your trim indicator needle should have full travel up and down the full range of the dial. I do this occasionally just to make sure it stays limbered up. It is very minimal travel with each twist,…[Read more]

Hello Mark! Hope to see you in Sedona, buddy. If Tommy T. Didn’t fix you up MAOA’s own President Mr. Ross Warner has everything that you need. He did a good deed and bought a huge stash of all types of placarding form a former owner’s estate (can’t remember the details) who’d had them printed up. All great/original quality.

Hey Dan,

Work on Jamon Pruitt. Think he’s going. Only question would be ability to take 3 with AZ density altitude in September…

Code 4, disregard my post – I have ‘particular’/thorough wrench and IA and that’s great – however, since I posted this, I’ve again realized, a tail boot for our OTW is rarely available. Although I do fly off grass, I just do a thorough pre-flight focused especially on the tail wheel area. It’s grear to have particular mechanics by the way!

And sorry… I see I put Allclad not Alclad. Would mess you up if you’re searching.

I am one of the newest to the OTW’s. Sir John Lyons that posted above is one of the most venerable, having owned an OTW and a 200 for many years. His suggestion about the Betzold family is perfect. Many would probably like to see Fred, Dan or Linda’s response, so please post back here. The three of them are members. To contact them click on…[Read more]

Hey Tom! Hope all is well at Honeapath. My A&P did the same as Ed’s and it has worked flawlessly for 4 years. The prior owner and I were plagued by our step. At one point before I purchased the plane the step actuator was disconnected and the door sealed up. That A&P recommended that it not be repaired. I bought the plane with the step inop.…[Read more]

Good morning Jeff. Glad that you and Jim are communicating. He and Mike Barg own the Meyers Aircraft Restoration Services in Honeapath, NC. They even have the original factory OTW jigs at their facility. Barg own FIVE OTWs!! One in beautiful shape and the others in various conditions from bent to just a data plate. Jones has only one OTW,…[Read more]
