- In Chapter 6, I borrow a truck and a trailer and head up to North Georgia to pick up more airplane parts while singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas" on the way back. Here's a summary of the trip and my findings that will help contribute to our Bellanca Cruisair project.

Brady, you guys made a great investment in the second airplane. I’m amazed at the good shape the sheet metal is in. Also, there’s been so many 14-13’s that have been scrapped because of the wood wings as well as their general complexity- not many folks out there have the desire to restore them and the skills to make it financially viable to see it through. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder.
What's new? This is a beautiful bird and needs to fly!
Update coming soon
Tip from experience: If it uses a torque tube for the trim, make a way to lube it without disassembling the plane.
Amazing project! That's gotta be an endless amount of hours and energy flowing into restoring an aircraft. Love your storytelling! Thank you and good luck!
Thanks so much Daniel! Truly endless ... lol. Hoping there will be an end to restoring the plane but not to my storytelling! Happy you're on board.
Thanks for the update. I do look forward to them.
My pleasure Brian. I hope there's another update sooner than later because that means we got something done lol.
Awesome Volmer vj22. I tried to buy a Volmer project with a c125 engine in tractor configuration years ago. They are a really cool homebuilt airplane.
That looks a lot like a Volmer and I love the Volmer, but it's Thurston Teal.
I found an oil cooler (Fedders) and an Aeromatic prop ... well actually I found 2 of those with 8 bolt F200 hub.
I am very interested in this. Will be watching!
For those concerned, that is not blood at 1:50.
Hahaha… welcome to club… I’ve been doing the same thing.. I now have Four and part of two others. I’ve pretty much resigned myself to this going be a retirement project. I can’t wait for the big Bellanca 14-13 fly in… anywhere in the future. Good luck and stay with it , a little at a time.
Nice! I can't wait either :D
@@BradySkye Nice video, can not wait to wonder down there and let you fly one, that will set a fire under you right now!
LOL
Im excited!!!!!
Glad to hear it Bill! Me too.
@@BradySkyemy first airplane was a J-3 Cub. We had to recover it to fly it. What a great learning experience!
Really try to get an Aeromatic prop. They make a big difference in performance. As I recall you can set three points, static RPM, climb/liftoff full throttle redline and full throttle cruise RPM at about 7 K ft. They all interact so a lot of adjusting is required. I rode in my friends 150 HP years ago with 4 men and about 1/2 fuel and it does fine. 150 mph TAS at 8k ft is attainable.
I would not waste a dime on an Aeromatic Prop. I have flown with another Cruisair and my plane was faster with a fixed pitch prop.
could also use an aeromatic prop or even just the F200 hub ..
Hello Sir! I am bringing a 14-13-2 to life as well.
Does anybody have any ideas on intake airbox for the 165?!?
I am curious to see what your solution is
If you want another I have one .
Really? Where at?
@@BradySkye GYB , Giddings , Texas

Hi there. Any more aux tanks available?
Unfortunately, no.
@@BradySkye k what else you got for sale or trade over there?
Might be in the market for big parts.
