Off to get it. I want to see if it's the "evil bastard contraption" that Ernie Gann said it was. Actually Gann had nothing good to say about the C-87 having flown them for the Air Transport Command.

Hi,

Good luck ...and be sure to have the fire brigade ready at the end of runway .. they can save your life on take off

And stay away from the Taj Mahal too. Gann almost took it out with a C-87.

I flew the C-87 from Bella bella BC to St Paul MN, I like the plane alot, but take off with full flaps I did but pulled the flaps up to fast and I began to drop like a rock but recovered, airspeed takes awhile to get past 140mph, flying this thing you have to stay ahead of it. But its a great plane to fly long distance, had to put a fuel gauge in the panel..for some reason panel designers forget to put in fuel gauges or I do'nt know.


Cheers

I am comparing the original paint kit from the Alpha B-24 to the C-87 and seeing what is the same. The paints that came with the plane....well, my momma told me to say something nice or shut my mouth......
