Scott
Henderson, Joe McHugh's son, has continued the Joe McHugh tradition of
maintaining Seabees through the Simuflight organization. He has added a
website and a searchable data base for Seabee issues. His new website
is http//www.simuflight.net.
Sounds like a great resource for Seabee owners. There is also a Simuflight Seabee forum at http://www.simuflight.net/phpbb/ that contains the above mentioned searchable database. Scott says, "This is an open interactive Internet forum where Seabee owner and maintainers can come together to discuss Seabee issues. All the comments and articles are stored in a database so people can search it for information. This will be a great resource for all Seabee people once the content grows. I have also included sections for selling and buying items as well as other sections. We don't mind adding sections as demand dictates." 
"Simuflight, The Seabee people."
UPDATE! January 17, 2006 Scott Henderson wrote: "I thought I would drop you a note to let you know that Simuflight has competed our new facility and finally moved. We are now located in Fallon NV. The new facility is approx 6000 square feet with attached machining and sheet metal fabrication. The shop will be dedicated to Seabee restoration and maintenance. We began shipping parts the first of this week and will be accepting aircraft starting Feb 1, 2006. We have also added a traveling A&P/AI to our staff (Tim Sutter) that has many years of Seabee experience both flying and working on them. Tim will be traveling to the Seabee's that can't reach us in Fallon for everything fro maintenance to restorations work. For all those that have not had a source of parts for the last couple of years we should be able to provide most common parts. We are also completing two new STC kits for the Seabee: Landing light kit - puts a landing light in both wings. This kit has been around for a while but we have finally completed the STC for this kit. Electric elevator and rudder trim - a complete replacement for the current trim system. This new system replaces all the existing hardware with two servo motors for the elevator and adds a rudder trim with a single servo motor. This project has taken nearly two years to complete the certification work alone but it is an excellent replacement for the existing trim system and in some cases the only certified solution where parts are no longer available. We expect the FAA to sign off on both of these STC's withing the next 30-45 days. For the first time in many years there is a company dedicated to the restoration and maintenance of Republic Seabee. Questions can be directed to me at this time, Ken is up to his eyeballs in getting the shop settle down so that he can meet the needs of the aircraft currently scheduled. Thanks
for your time." |
 B. J. AIRCRAFT
According to Steve Mestler, has a lot of "Old Stuff" at very resonable
prices.
Stuff you just won't
believe! How about a B-17 instrument panel? Lots of other stuff too. If
you don't see it listed on his website, send him an e-mail and ask. He just might
have it!
That's how Steve found a Tach and a Tach Generator
at a fraction of the cost of "refurbished parts" and thought the
members might like to know. Thanks Steve!When you order, tell Bruce you found him on the Seabee Website! |
