BT-13 Tailwheel Boot

Mon Jan 19, 2009 4:02 pm

Anyone know where to find a BT-13A tailwheel boot or a boot pattern?

Thanks!

There's a guy who sells BT-13 stuff on barnstormers. Maybe try Califirnia Airframe.

I appreciate the lead...

I'll check it out and report back to this thread!

SkipInge,
West Coast Wings in Ukiah, Ca. They are rebuilding four BT-13's. A friend of mine saw the planes the other day. He said they look better than factory new. They might have a pattern, or two. Ask for, Nick.
Phone number: (707) 462-6882.

Jim,

Thanks for the info. Having the number helps a lot! I'll call them Monday!

Thank you!

Nick at West Coast Wings said that he had a pattern. Gary at American Aero Services said that he can put one together with the pattern so I think I can get something workerd out! Just getting a good lead was half the battle! Thanks Jim!
