Some nice photos (credit to: Robert Kobzey) of yesterday's air to air of the Sealand/RED A-03 diesel powered DHC-2 Beaver. This is an excellent conversion, which I have test flown for six hours this week. Very simple in flight operation, with reassuring redundancy! Yesterday, I climb tested at a 6000 pound gross weight, with a rate of climb of 600 FPM going through 16,000! Not obvious in the photo, but in addition to full fuel tanks (including tips) and two of us, I was carrying two and a half 208 liter drums full of water in the cabin! This will be a revolutionary product improvement, for a great legacy airplane!
