Folks,  I own an old m20a and she still flies well,  but the reason for this note is to let everyone know

I have obtained the ORIGNAL blueprints and ALL other paperwork from the Noorduyn company,about 

3,000  sheets, if you know of anyone with this plane please let them know I have these now,  there are about 15 flyable aircraft

left in the world.  I am restoring  aircraft  ser #427  used by the ARMY  in 1945.  I am missing a few parts and any contact would be great.  Thanks 

Mike.        www.cahc-ccpa.com    The wings look like the came out of the factory yesterday,  yes the shell is rough.

I've seen at least one at Oshkosh.  Big things.  Good luck in your restoration.

To be able to see the finished product from a wreck is a gift only few possess.  Glad to see you have the vision hope you can get it flying again it will be a beautiful bird!!!

When Ice Pilots the TV show was on I seem to remember Buffalo Joe had restored one of these and had a couple of planes for pats, you may want to contact them.

And when the OP is done with the restoration he might consider donating alt he drawings to a museum, so they''ll be available in perpetuity, or at least some degree of it.

This looks like a great project! Good luck with it.

 

I'm sure you saw couple of planes selling on Ebay a month or two ago.

 

Page cellars in Woodinville, WA has a Norseman Merlot; great wine, btw. I was told Norseman was the first plane of James Page, the owner and winemaker.

 

 

Regards,
