Steve Noyes, the FBO at Plum Island Airport, the place made famous by Bill Womack, has the STC to rebuild L-19 into a Super Bird Dog. Besides putting in a larger engine and a new throttle he also adds a three bladed "climbing prop" along with a large chrome spinner. It can climb up to a mile in altitude in 3 minutes. Steve reports that with the new prop, cruise speed increased and better gas mileage is realised.
Steve has done the entire fleet of the Canadian Air Cadets L-19s to be "Super Bird Dogs" I would to convert the CAC yellow airplane to the new configuration. Is there a prop that I can steal that would fit?
