I am really trying to get this thing rolling in the right direction. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Please remember that not all material posted on the internet is true and accrurate. I do not know everyone who posts messages in this forum. Please be careful in the restoration of your airplane. and if you want a second opinion, get one.

Has anyone got an approved 337 from a V-77 alternator conversion? We're putting one on mine and it would make life much simpler. Thanks. ggiddings@stny.rr.com Gavin Giddings

If you are using the Jasco alternator, you might check with Jasco. When I put one on my SM-8,10 years ago, they had 337's for R-680-9 &-13 engines. They might have STC for all Lycoming engines by now. They were applying for them then
If it will help, I have a 337 for installation on my 680-17. Good luck

Hello, I am new to the Stinson Family. I have a V-77 which requires some engine mounts. Does anyone have or know a source for these? The engine is a Lyc R680-13. Thanks and i will post the pictures of my bird as soon as i get the mounts and engine on. Just one last request. I need a spinner assembly for the 2b20 prop???
Thanks

Restoring an SR 8C and looking for parts manuals and flight manuals for aircraft. Also looking for several large parts....Bump Cowl for R680, left airstair, left wheel pant and "if possible" a good/usable Left Wing. Any information would be greatly appreciated

Starting to restore an SR 8C and need parts and flight manual for aircraft. Also looking for Bump Cowling for Lyc 680, Left Main Wheel pant, Left stair into cockpit and "If Possible" a good/useable Left wing for aircraft. Aslo need information if there are any other SR 8C's in the USA that may have extra parts or unrestored aircraft in "barn"

I have 337 field approval for instalation of Jasco 12 volt system on my V-77. If you still need Info contact me at pitt@wtrt.net Dwain Pittenger

My V-77 is missing one of the steel latch sockets on the lower cowling. It is kind of horse shoe shaped and the latch mechanism goes into it to snug down the cowling. Can anyone tell me where I might find one.

As of 10/2/01, the Type Certificate Data Sheet for the Lycoming powered Stinson V-77,
TC A-774 has been corrected to reflect the proper Maximum and Minimum lengths of the listed eligible 2B20 props. Shouldn't be any more question about props. Atta boy and girl at the FAA for their courtesy and help.

I have a Stinson SR-8 and possibly would like/need a partner in the restoration of a/c. I live and the a/c is in North TX area. I have some knowledge of restoration, but a partner will be of great help.

Hi -

I am looking for STC info on dual brakes (pilot,co-pilot) and electric flaps for our V-77 restoration project. Any help here would be appreciated.
Thak you!

In 1935 The U.S. Millitary Comandeered several SR9s for use as light transports. The U.S. Navy got two, one of which went to the Coast Guard. I am in need of any documentation or pictures of that SR9.

I am restoring a Reliant 1937 SR8 and need a Goodyear disc brake assy. I think the partnumber is 27636 or 27536, this number I got from the casting of the brake assy itself and it's a little worn.

Well,
I frequent this site regularly and am convinced there are few Gullwing guys with computers. Truth is, compared to many other production planes, Reliants are just rare birds.
Just wanted to report that I had a pleasant visit out in Seattle (Arlington) with Andy Jones. His SR-9c is progressing quite well. A couple years ago he came to a hault and I wondered if he was going to get going again. Finally, he's a busy bee. The fus is nearly ready for cover. All the wings and tail feathers have been finished and a local shop is covering the seats and other cabin fixtures with a nice set of leather hides. I'm looking forward to seeing this beautiful ship fly! Keep up the good work Andy!!

Anyone needing Lord mounts for their V-77/AT-19? (not sure if they are the same part for the SR series).
Give Randy Phillips a call: (651)306-0345 or Paul Shacklette: (915) 949-3694.

We are looking for a source for the fuel tank sending units in an SR-9 Stinson. Anyone have these available? Contact 907-229-4290 or rbenner@gci.net

Mike Grossberg (former owner of SR-9 NC 17154) has a Bendix DFN Magneto. He also has a NAR 7A Carburetor. Both are yellow tagged from Radial Engines Ltd. He sold the Stinson and no longer needs the engine parts. Give him a call at 904-270-0255 After 5:00 PM Eastern

Does anyone know if there are a set of complete drawings of the SR8 I

would like to try to build one from plans. I know that it will be a

monumental task, should keep me busy for a day or two

Looking for a reasonably priced SR-9 to buy. Would like it to be original

and in flying condition. Can be flying project. Contact Mark at (716)

Some photos of the Red Lady there also. It is also at Blakesburg every

Labor Day Weekend. I talked to you guys there not long ago. We were

talking about Stinsons and Anoka County airport. Say your "before"

pictures! Big airplanes are a big job! :-)

I am interested in finding a photo of the instrument panel that was in Paul

Redfern SM-1 Port of Brunswick if one can be found, or a list of the

instruments that were in the SM-1. Also looking for a photo of the Gulf Oil

Company's Stinson around 1935 that was based in Atlanta, Ga.I got my first

ride in it after it landed in Seneca, S.C. after running low on fuel and my

dad and I got fuel for the pilot and he gave us a ride.

Does anyone know what became of the bright red SR-9 which was the offical

company plane of Grimes Manufacturing Company in Urbana, Ohio. I last saw

it in the late 1940s, and it is not in my 1962 regiser of N numbers.

Does anyone know what happened to the V77 "The Bodatious Thunderchicken"

last seen in the 1970's, on a San Diego ranch and at Gillispe Field in El

Cajon, Calif? Was used by sky-divers there.

Does any one have the blueprints for a ventral/sea fin for a Reliant on EDO

4000's, our shop is going to put one on floats soon and are having trouble

locating the above part.

I am looking for a left wing aileron bellcrank, the internal piston assembly
for the tailwheel shock absorber strut and landing lights for my 1936 SR8-E.
Also would appreciate finding drawings, especially for wings and fuselage.

Enjoyed the site. Photo 13902 brought back memories. When I was 12 years

old, 66 years ago, I built that model (balsa wood and paper with a rubber

band driven motor)except the color was blue. I won first place at a local

hobby store with the model. However, aviation was not to be my undertaking

- I became a submariner. Just taking a trip back memory lane. Thanks for

the opportunity.

I came upon your site somewhat by accident, but it does hold a great deal

of interest for me. In 1935 my father bought a new SR-5 from the Stinson

factory, and flew it for several years. Perhaps the most memorable of his

adventures in the airplane was a trip he made to Mexico City, which was no

small trip in those times. The airplane was ultimately owned by a man

named Gary Wilson who moved it to PHL. I last saw the airplane, painted

white with red trim, in about 1990, in some T hangers across from the Delta

Air Lines gate area in PHL. I subsequently lost track of him and the

airplane. Does anyone know of its whereabouts? Thanks, Harry Ballance

Does anyone know where I can find an STC'd kit for a spinner (type you

usually see on many V77's/ R985's / Beech Staggerwings) for the R680 engine

/ Ham Standard prop?

I'd also like to know if there is an autofuel STC for the 300Hp R680. I saw

a Stearman in Trade a Plane that had the 225 HP R680 and it was STC'd for

autofuel.

Any comments on 100LL vs autofuel?

Thanks

so photo's required for book project on British FAA aircraft.would

appreciate any help!

Looking for original paint color on a 1936 model SR-8E. Registered NC

16181. S/N 9755. Was operated by Northeast AL 1941-42. Is being restored

to old NEA paint scheme.

I am looking for original engine controls/carb heat mixture throttle and

prop. Also looking for original outside door handles and interior window

crank handles for 1937 Stinson SR-9. Contact me at (716) 778-6237.

I'm presently working on restoring an SM 8A and am interested in R680-17

parts and airframe parts.

I'm also looking for old photos of N458Y that was delivered new to

Oakland, Calif. and served with Varney Airlines and Boeing School of

Aeronautics.

Looking for Manuals and drawings for SR10C restoration project. Also

looking for a door handle right entry and a tailwheel.

I'm looking for photos and information regading the SR-10C's of All

American Aviation. I have all the N Numbers and Serial Numbers, but I'm

looking for things that may not be in the mainstream yet.



I'm a historian researching USAIRWAYS history. I worked there from

1963-1999 having started with Lake Central Airlines. See my web site at

http://www.shakylake.com where I will finally post All American stuff as

well.

Has anyone changed their flaps to electric and is there a kit available

I have many Lycoming 225/300 radial engine R680 parts for sale or trade. If

interested just email me and I will email a complete inventory list to

you.

My father, age 91, used to work for Stinson, and over the years has

recollected countless tales of the Company and its workers. He was

involved in the design and fabrication of instrument panels for the

Gullwing and others. He also has a few interesting photos of around the

plant in Wayne, Michigan. To anyone interested, I am sure he would like to

talk to anyone who would like to gain additional perspective on the

Stinsons and their people.

Hi everybody,



***Where can I find photos and/or drawings of the instrument panel and the

cabin arrangement of a late production SM-1 Detroiter?

***Apparently "Dark Maroon" with a "Diana Cream" (Berryloid paint chart)was

the standard finish for the early Detroiter. Was it the same for the late

models or were they other liveries possible?

***I am also searching photos of the Texas Air Transport Detroiters and

those of Northway Flying Service? All informations on these planes would

also be warmly welcome.



Thanks for your help.

I am looking for an elevator assy. and engine mount. This aircraft has been

apart for many years and many small parts are missing. If you have any

parts for sale or trade plese call. Paul Agaliotis (408) 683-4751

Thanks for all you have done on this site! It is perfect!!

I'm just an old time airplane fan & model builder, wish I could have a

full size Reliant tho.

I will spend many fine hours going thru all your pictures & info , thanks

again.

Dave

It was 1938 or 1939, I loved airplanes and

built a lot of 10 cent balsa flying models. Then on a dare, Howie

Gronemeier and I went to the airport at Elmhurst, Illinois and for $2 we

got our first airplane ride - it was a Stinson Reliant!

I would appreciate any information on the AT-19. I have a basket case and

am trying to figure out what is correct. All of the wood was replaced

(very badly) and I am getting ready to replace it again but would like to

know what is correct.

I am happy to purchase information, books, pictures, etc.

Thanks,

Gullwings. Any leads appreciated.

The Stinson, together with the Beechcraft Staggerwing has always been my

favorite aircraft.

I have been an R/C scale modeler all my life and will be building a SR9 as

my next project, powered by a 7 cyl radial.



Damn, you guys are so lucky that you are able to deal with the real

thing...

I only now of 1 SR-9 in Europe. It is based at Férte Alais in France,

excellent restoration job, they had to drag my out of the hangar :-)



Thanks for the great webite...

Returning home to the Pacific NW after three weeks in the Katrina mess, I

decided I needed some R&R. Heading off to one of my favortie haunts to take

pictures of Beavers, I discovered an odd looking bird, sitting in tall

grass, no prop, in need of some TLC. Not being being able to get close

enough to get numbers, I decided to put it on my to do list to chase down

the owners, when I was more motivated.

Heading off to a seaplane operation at the other end of the lake I noticed

a similar wing configuration on a plane tucked away in their repair area,

also missing a prop. I could see on the tail "Stinson Reliant" logo. She

looked pretty sharp on her floats, now more interested in the one in tall

grass to see if what her owners plans for her might be. I need to to learn

more about the SR's now too. Great site!

I'm looking for original mixture, carberator heat and throttle controls.

Also, looking for original outside door handles and original exhaust stacks

or drawings or plans to make them. You can reach me at (716) 439-4710.

Wow! Cool! I found N9184H! My father-in-law, Harold Green, was the

original buyer of that airplane when it was sold into the civilian market

after WWII. He bought it in 1946 for $2000. He restored it, but on one of

his first flights ground-looped while landing and his wife said "either the

plane goes or I go!" Obviously, it was the plane that went. All he kept

was the original propeller, which I now have.

My fiance's grandfather has a Stinson Reliant in his hanger. It has been

sitting there for years. We are trying to find out what model it is. We

know that it was one of the few that went to War and came back to the USA.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appricated!!

I am thinking about putting a P&W 450hp engine on my V-77. Does anyone

know of anyone ever doing that and if so did they like the outcome? Thanks

I live in Wichita, and since there is a SR-7B on the registry here in town,

I thought I would try to find it. It is serial 9655, and the last

registered owner was an Orval Ancel. I have run into a dead end here,

anyone know the whereabouts of this aircraft? I hate to see it disappear

off the face of the planet!

I'm also looking for 108-422 (the one in "This Island Earth")

colour scheme,idents.& their position for small solid scale model. Model is
to be one of all the aircraft to fly the N. Atlantic before the Second
World War

Roy flew a Reliant for White Flying Service in Caldwell, NJ in the late
'30s. During the war he was testing TBFs out of Trenton. After the war he
flew a converted B-25 as a test platform for new avionics for Bendix out of
Teterboro. The Reliant he & I flew had a half Y central control column. The
wheel could be swung over to the co-pilot, like on the Stinson tri-motor.
Anybody know of Roy? Anybody seen this control configuration on a Reliant?

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A SR9-C PROJECT. I AM LOOKING FOR MANY PARTS, A
BUMP COWL, RIGHT AILERON, CONTROL WHEELS, INSTRUMENT PANEL INSERT, AND WING
RIB TUBING, JUST TO NAME A FEW. IF ANYONE HAS THESE PARTS OR ANY LEADS I
WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD CONTACT ME.

THANKS,
