Of all the Beaver videos on You Tube, I never found any had very good instruments shots. So, now that I own one I thought I would share this. This was taken at 4500 ft at 100kts air speed (about 96 ground) over Sparrow Lake, which is just NW of Orillia Ontario. I was heading to Timmins for Thanksgiving, Oct 22, 2008.

  • Yes, still old style wobble pump.

  • My dream aircraft !!!

    Where can you find a beaver for restore ?

    Is the rebuild expensive ?

    Thanks for posting

  • @charlieechovictor My dream plane too!

    They are expensive to rebuild- but worth every dollar (Euro?)

  • how much experience or flight time would a new pilot need before buying and operating a beaver,would it be possible to train in one? great post.thanks

  • You can buy at any time with or without any hours. As with any single engine, non-high performance aircraft, you could legally learn to fly in it and do your float rating at the same time, although it's not recommended. I bought mine when I had less than 450 pilot hours, and my rating took 2.5 hours. I owned a c-185 float plane before I traded up and learned on a cessna 172.

  • beautiful interior in the back!

  • I have since changed it when I painted the plane. It's now white and blue with new seat covers. If there is a way to attach a picture I will.

  • Great video- I love the unadulterated sound, too! Thanks!

  • There's just a strong ambience, a mood/feeling/state of mind that the DHC-2 has. Call it a spirit maybe? ...thinkin' if home is where the heart is, and my heart is with DeHavilland Beavers, I gotta get my butt out of Toronto and start my journey home!

  • @ClutchPedalReturnSpr

    Sorry to say, but it looks like someone already beat you to it. Well, sorta.

    Google VikingAir

  • @bgiesbrecht101 thats why i became an aircraft mechanic so i could do all the work myself lmao

  • I like the contented Siamese Cat. They are such good companions. My last one was more dog, than cat. The Beaver is such a good honest airpalne that they should be continued to be built new. Were I an industrialist, I'd open a plant to do so. It's a nice dream, anyways.

  • Can you give us a ball park on what yearly maintenance is worth on a beaver?

  • does your beaver start with the old style wobble pump or have you upgraded to the eletric pump like in a cessna 185

  • HAHAHAHAHA lol CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the cats all like...."man I put up with a lot of BS, I dont really like this, tell me when we get there"
