They are still out there! 14-19-2 with 1261 TT advertised on TAP for $6500 OBO. Sitting in a hangar in Arizona since 1990. Complete aircraft looks to be pretty much original. Of course needs full restoration, but a good find nonetheless. Sold within a few hours. I spoke to the seller and...

For anyone thinking about a G5 or the "yet to be certified" AV-30, now there are more choices from our friends at Garmin. This new product comes in various configurations and looks like it could be a very nice solution, although the cost represents a significant percentage of the value of our...

Just saw this on Kathryn's: http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2019/10/bellanca-14-19-3-cruisair-senior-n16ls_8.html Not sure what damage was done, if any. However this is a problem that keeps happening with the nose gear machines. Does anyone happen to have any more information about this incident?

Occasionally it’s desirable to lock the landing gear in the extended position without the worry of an accidental collapse. In my case I have the powerpack out of 35R and needed to use the jacks on another plane. Although there are a variety of ways to lock the gear in the extended position I...

I think we need to pick up the pace on the forum… So I have all of the interior panels removed from 35R to do some wiring clean-up and general maintenance. I want to replace the tired old insulation that sits between these panels and the fabric. There are so many materials out there to choose...

Wentworth is selling another -3 that suffered a runway excursion and resulting nose gear collapse. The accident apparently happened last year or early this year. The damage is rather extensive and most likely this aircraft will never fly again. Couldn't find any NTSB report on this. Does...

As some of you might know I have a strange affection for the triple-tail Cruisemasters. A charter member of the Bellanca Rescue Society. This dysfunction has caused me to embark on a mission to locate each member of the old fleet and determine the operational status and a bit of history of...

Fellow Continental powered Cruisemaster owners, I need some advice… I am in the process of overhauling my Woodward D210105 governor. This effort caused me to study the linkage arrangement interfacing the prop cable to the governor. As shown in the attached image the purpose of the linkage is...

N7672B just popped up for sale on eBay - starting bid $13K and it doesn't appear there is a reserve. The listing has a bunch of pictures and suggests this is not really a restoration project, just needs some TLC after sitting for a number of years. If I didn't already have four triple-tail...

AOPA, AvWeb and others have announced the return of the $500 rebate for ADS-B equipment along with a change in the weight limit for LSA: https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2018/october/07/big-news-from-aopa-carbondale-fly-in

I officially nominate the schematic diagram from the 14-19-3 POH as the most pitiful piece of documentation for a certificated aircraft ever produced... a real step down in quality from the -2 diagram. So I do have a question - can someone help me figure out what the purpose of the switch...

Upon removing seats and floorboards I found the lower rear carry-through steel tube heavily rusted as shown. What puzzles me is that the other fuselage structure is free of rust. It is clear that the green primer and the black overcoat were factory original. I’m wondering if anyone else has...

Really hate to bring this topic up again, but I am trying to resolve some confusion in my mind. In one of my machines, 08R, I have a Pesco 1P-677 CCW, so for a while I simply assumed that this was the correct part number (CCW = counter-clockwise). Now in 35R which is receiving a big dose of...

Has anyone seen this kind of black film inside a powerpak? I'm guessing it came from the inside of the hydraulic hoses. Trying decide the best course of action. Thanks!

Lynn... enjoyed reading your article in the club newsletter that showed up today.

A while back I found this picture on the internet but didn't find the tail number. Kind of a neat shot. From the panel layout I'm pretty sure this is a 14-19-3. Does anyone recognize this plane? I'm building a collection of -2 and -3 Cruisemaster photos and would really like to identify this...

Just returned home from the annual Bellanca fly-in held at Columbia, CA. Another great turnout with triple-tails represented across the board with a Crusair, a 14-19, two 14-19-2s and two 14-19-3s. We had a productive triple-tail roundtable forum as well as an exceptional presentation on...

On my 14-19-3 a leak exists somewhere in my brake caliper. I'm guessing and hoping it is just a piston o-ring and not a crack in the housing itself. My question is: how can the brake assembly be removed from the wheel? It looks like I will need to pull the wheel off because the caliper housing...

Thoughtfully the Bellanca factory placed a hydraulic fluid catch tray underneath the powerpak in the 14-19-2 & -3 aircraft (maybe other models too). As a bonus these trays also served as a convenient storage area for extra hardware. I pulled my fuel selector valve out for overhaul and thought...

Does anybody know what type of wood was used by the factory for the formers, stringers and some of the solid blocks found inside the fuselage?
