Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours watching the work on a Hughes 269A.

It is part of what will become a new museum, in Waller County, TX

On what I understand will be the museum main hangar, I shot these images of a Culver, belonging to Johnny Niemons, a resident at Sports Flyers airfield.

Johnny also owns a couple of other Culvers, but those are the civilian, four seater version; one is complete, the other one is to be re-assembled.

The guy behind the initiative for the museum is Ryszard Zadow. When I first met him several years ago, he had a pile of PT-19 / 23 / 26 parts, as well as several fuselages, engines, etc., at his hangar at Skydive Houston Airport, in Waller.

Anyway, it would be nice to have an aviation museum so close to home!

Saludos,


Tulio

I'm not aware that Culver ever made a 4-seat aircraft. I used to have a Cadet- they are quite small!

I remember a flyable Cadet at a couple of Planes of Fame shows back in the mid '80s. Looked like a great little airplane.

I will try to get a photo of the other airplanes. The one on its gear, has a controllable pitch propeller. Someone told me, that it flew at a spedd of about 150mph on a small, IIRC 90hp engine.

Saludos,

My uncle Ted Heinemann owned a disassembled pq-14 for years that I use to play in as a kid. If I remember his hangar in Corona California got flooded and pretty much destroyed the wood parts of the plane back around 2004. After he past away my aunt gave away the two motors he had. Perhaps they are now in Texas.

VFM has a flyable Culver Cadet for sale, if anyone's interested. It'll need some work, but it flew in to the Museum a couple of years ago.
