autoalain Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBCK Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steingar Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 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.

Igor_U Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 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.
