Warbird Information Exchange

Anytime!

The TC is owned by Jim Butler down in Ft. Lauderdale, but he has never registered it. As far as the feds are concerned, it’s still owned by Pappy Spinks out in Ft. Worth.

I believe the information about the Kinner engine is wrong. I think it is confused with the PT-22s that were operated by the Colombians around that same time frame.

The engines that have been installed on Rawdons through the years at the Lycoming 0-235, 0-290, 0-320, 0-360 and 0-540. The first Rawdon, the R-1, was a four place cabin plane and it had an 0-235. Only one was ever built.

Thanks Brad,

Here are the TC Data Sheets, requires a little studying!

Looks like Experimental will be just fine, unless there are some STC's out there.

" I believe the information about the Kinner engine is wrong. I think it is confused with the PT-22s that were operated by the Colombians around that same time frame."

Yes, it is.


In the past, we have already covered this subject with Brad, I believe.

Some Colombian web-sites and some of their history data, mistakenly identifies the Rawdon as a
PT-22. Hence, the reference to the Kinner engine.

I should have made this clear on my posting, but forgot to do it. My apologies for the confusion.

Even then, this is historically significant to me, because Guatemala and Honduras operated armed versions of the Ryan STM, and I am trying to find data to support my suspicion, that the Colombians may -repeat may- have thought that they were acquiring Ryans -which could be armed- versus the Rawdons. The identification mistake was probably made by a military attache, not familiar with aircraft (infantry, etc.)

A basic identification issue, that could easily explain why the aircraft were so quickly disposed of, after finding that they were unsuitable for armed flight.


Saludos,


Tulio
