Converting the early 150 model to 180 hp is now available through Mike Horton of Lubbock, Texas. The STC allows for the o320 to be replace with the o360 A1A. The late Jeff Cloud had the arrangement in his tow plane and it was very good. No it is not a 235, nor should it be, but it is a very...

As expected, EASA issued the AD - 2018-0081 - 11 April 2018, with an effective date of 25 April, with 60 days to accomplish a one-time inspection. If discrepancies are noted, repairs must be completed before the next flight. I include a link to the AD on the Transport Canada AD website...

Long ago our club had a great stand for the fuselage of a 2-33. It hooked under the steps on each on each side of the fuselage, and it rocked over center with a long bar. It was very stable. Does anybody have plans for one of these? Boggs

Upgrading to the LXNAV S100 so I selling my LXNAV S7, its in excellent condition. It has the most recent update as well. $650.00 OBO, I can ship anywhere in the world pretty cheaply. Aaron Thomson N71TT Nimbus 2B
