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!

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

@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

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.

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.
