John R Perkins Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Mitchell U=2 I have a U-2 in my garage at Granville. It is for sale, although I do not yet know what would be a fair price. See Just Landed thread for more details, or contact me at [email protected] or (02) 9682 3750 if you wish to know more. My version was built as a motor glider (KFM 22 HP).

Guest Maj Millard Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The B 10 was the wood wing version of the A 10, which came out later with the all metal wing. I believe they also had a two seat version of the A 10. I have seen both B10 and A10 fly in California, and I flew for several years with a friend who had an A 10. They were either powered with the small Konig 4 cyl radial, or a Rotax single cyl 277. They flew fine, and didn't need much power. The main problem with them if any, was floating on landing. They just wanted to float along in ground effect, then they would drop on and ding the prop. There wasn't much prop clearance, and keeping props in good shape was a constant chore. Probabily better to shut it off on long final, park the prop horizontal, and dead stick or glide land them..........................................................................................................

Guest ozzie Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The only U2 i have seen was located in the Singleton area some time back. maybe this is the same machine. As they are very rare in this country it would be hard to put a price on one. it would be a great aircraft for thermal ling. maybe someone from GAF would be interested. is it registered with the RAAus? ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
