Nothing like a good Beaver
Turn up the sound and enjoy a good ballad.

Heck this should get a 'sticky' for a while

In Australia they threw fertiliser out the back door
HI 'Jaba'......
REUR - Heck this should get a 'sticky' for a while.....
As one who has flown the mighty Beaver, and who owns both a 'Tiger' and a 'Chippy',..... I thoroughly agree!!!
LUVLY!!
On the 'other hand' there is a company in NZ called
'Beaver Liquors'.....Look it up!
Only the Kiwis could name a company after a
'sport'.....
(The 'sport' of drinking that is....)

this one got split...
In you tube search for.. de havilland beaver crash at Lake Hood.
Looks like the "pilot" made no attempt to get it up on the step to fly off but kept pulling back, (increasing the drag) and was hoping Messers Pratt and Whitney's brute force might just get him up and away like superman.
Alas...
Some rather expensive crumpling noises going on there for a while.!
Good result for the occupants...no fire,NO fatalities. Pity about the a/c.

Provided the base machine is fairly light, and has the 5600lb MTOW increase then you can carry quite a bit of load. A machine on straight floats is around 1600kgs empty and with the mod can takeoff just under 2500kgs.
For amphibs you are looking at another 260kgs (minimum) to your empty weight over the straight floats.
Not to sure what the aircraft is without floats...anyone have any idea?
On another note, Happy New Year too all!
