DPE in the northeast?

Hi all--hope this is the right section for this.

I'm looking for a Skymaster-qualified DPE in the northeast--preferably in southern New England.
Any references?

Thanks.

I did see that AOPA page before, but it doesn't seem to lay out steps so much as point to forms involved.

Baggage door dimensions

Hi all.

Was wondering if anyone knew this off-hand. Did a search of the subject and then for "size" in place of "dimensions" -- bupkus. So, I was hoping someone might know, or otherwise be...

78-09-05 serial number range

I saw a thread here from long long ago, that briefly delved into the topic of the apparent pardon that the FAA seems to give to NA models after 33701852. I could find no more on that. What little...

Wow. That could be significant, especially against a turbo option. Guessing that's owed to the extra, O2-ish hardware hanging out in the breeze.

I love the idea of watching over and preserving one...

O2 performance

Any substantive difference in performance from, say, a 337B? Thought I'd seen or heard somewhere that cruise has a bit of a penalty from the exterior hardware that is particular to it. Wikipedia...

That's interesting--I always thought these did just over 200kts up there. Or is it okay to run these over-square?

Climb rate and how specifications are cited

I see that the later, N/A Skymasters (the II's) are rated at 940 fpm climb, vs much more on the F (or any earlier one). The empty weight is also considerably more, but I thought that specs were...

Having read Ernie's helpful overview of the system, I wanted to ask: is the reason that the electric pump prevails when there is air in the line from auxiliary starvation, and where the mechanical...

Hi Chris.

I'm unable to find the historical info on the NTSB site directly. Aviationdb.net makes it a bit easier so that's where I've gone for quick lookups. There they show a minor from '78 for...

Hi Chris.

The NTSB DB shows a record for a hard landing with a gear collapse in a '78 by the tag 24DC. Is this a different aircraft? Apologies in advance if this is a rookie mistake--first time...

Buyer's Agent?

Are they worth the bother? Can they effectively spot red flags in the paperwork of an esoteric old bird like the Skymaster?

I'd like to buy your turbo-charged aircraft. Below are my preferences, but ultimately, if the asking is commensurate with condition, no need to be shy just because yours isn't a match.
