Well said, but since this is an information web site, the info we've discussed is very valuable and should be taken to heart by all of us. For me personally, the -20C is a big red alarm if I'm ever flying in weather that cold...let's hope not.

So Troels, when are you buying the replacement 337? There are some great deals around!
If you can pick one up during the next couple of months, you can meet us at the 2010 SOAPA Fly-In in Branson! :-)

Do you know any good ones. I need the following. Non turbo VAR crankshaft engines with some time left.Deicer boots.Preferably with some new garmin avionic including mode S transponder and a 406 ELT. ADF and DME is still a requirement in my country .Propellers and governors within their calender lifetime of 6 years. Magnetos within their calender lifetime of 4 years. Engine and airframe hoses within their lifetime as stated in the maintenance manual. These are all EASA requirements and I know that finding one that meets all of them is hard since you normally dont do overhauls based on calender time in the US and so on. I hope that I can go to one of your meetings some day and see your Skymasters. Troels.

Troels,
It sounds like a normally aspirated 337 with engines having been overhauled within the last 10 or 15 years should do - VAR cranks should have been installed at that time. To get a panel still equipped with ADF/DME you'll probably want an older, non-updated panel (updated panels would have removed at least the ADF), and install a 406 ELT and S XPDR. If you don't require a panel-mounted IFR GPS (and even if you do), a Garmin 496 provides amazing functionalities. Are there life limits stated on engines? I've only heard of TBO's. Replacing the engine hoses and airframe flexible hoses isn't that big a deal, and would start you on a new 5-year cycle. Happy hunting!

Here is the link to a CBC documentary. As good as it gets, I guess.
