Creator's Key Takeaways

it's a fun airplane to fly and it gets in almost any place makes me happy to get it that's all I can say

the beaver was conceived as a half-ton flying pickup truck capable of taking off and landing in very short distances on land water or snow

you can always rely on the beaver

the beaver is unique in my experience for an aircraft of that size it's incredibly well balanced and light level controls you really can't fly it with two fingers

Creator's Tips & Advice

When loading a beaver, balance maximum payload with the need to clear trees and take off from short strips.
For restoration, consider non-destructive testing to check for internal corrosion.
