Student Pilot Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Callair? A9 was the first Ag aircraft I worked, that has similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 You're on the ball, SP. Prototype of the Callair Model A, 1943. Amazing how it was designed by Wyoming Ranchers, and assembled by about 100 local people who became expert at aircraft manufacture with no major aircraft industry experience. What is more interesting is that the aircraft had exceptionally good handling, and it found a good market in ag work. But as with many small aircraft manufacturing operations, the company folded in 1962, and the Intermountain Manufacturing Company purchased the Callair Company and its assets at auction, and went on to produce the Callair A-9. IMCO was then purchased by the Aero Commander division of Rockwell International. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Pilot Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 There's a mob now trying to sell the tooling, design and equipment to manufacture Callair's. I think it's for the bigger B9, originally built with 720 Lyc, also produced with 985 Pratt. There were lots of A9's in Oz most now used for Tugging. Doubt there is any still on AG. There were a couple of B9's in NZ on super, all wrecked now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

440032 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Well, the gear legs are, as far as I know, by the same guy that makes them for Vans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Student Pilot Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Falconar F12? The one I found had different undercarriage legs but similar design and fin/rudder. I saw something like it hanging in a Museum in a place called Assinabioa in Saskatchewan, it had retracts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Student Pilot Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 This the one I saw at Museum in rural Saskatchewan, looks based on the same frame with mods like a better looking fin/rudder and some homemade retracts. Looks wood construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Here's one you will either know immediately, or not. No photo, that would be too easy. What aircraft served with the RAAF that they did not order nor want? Not a one-off, a squadron of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
