  • Another one has left the nest

    After 2 years of recovering an L-2M for the 3rd time, it finally headed home to Nebraska yesterday. I love the L-2, but hate this one, as it keeps coming back home. originally we restored it in '94, owner had it 6 years until he did a 1/4 turn into the ground breaking his back and lower legs. We restored it again for him with more new parts than it left with the first time and ended up selling it to the current owner that has it now in '03. Early '05 it came back because plasticizer in the Poly-Fiber Classic dope had failed and was cracking badly after 18 months. Only 5 more Taylorcrafts to go!

      Hey Mike,
      I am looking for a McCauley prop 1B90CM7440 or 7441 or 7439. Got any leads for me? I need the correct prop for my A75 on my BC12D. Need to turn up to 2100 on the ground static.

      Or do you have a TC'd prop that would be a good match? Price?

        Good luck on finding a 74" Maccauley. I thought all A-75's ran a 70" to turn up to 2450? We can build a wood one for around $1100.
