Katmai News – Early March
Kevin Moore’s Katmai is coming along nicely. The engine should be here by the end of the week and hung some time next week. All of the parts for the refurb and some of the options are here and waiting to be installed. But some options like the BRS will be delivered a little closer to installation time because of the amount of shop space they take up.
And this is what Richard Dix’s new engine looks like! After we installed it and test flew it, we took it to Oklahoma for a new paint job. Just yesterday we it picked up from Cimarron Aircraft in El Reno, OK. It is another great paint job by the professionals at Cimarron.
Check out these before and after pictures of the airplane. We are finishing up the interior installation, the addition of a few “after paint” details, and an annual inspection this week and part of next week, and he is anxious to take delivery! Richard’s airplane will be ready some time late next week, and he is anxious to take delivery!
Congratulations to Jay Minor of West Linn, Oregon. He stopped by last Friday for a demo. Jay currently owns a Maule but was won over by the Katmai demo flight with Todd at the controls. As a result, he now has secured the June 1, 2007 production date for a Katmai which will be complete with the tundra tires.
