| Dana V. Titus , NB | My father owned two seabees in the fifties and sixties. the first one was CF-DLP, first flown in Jan. 1947. The second plane was CF-DLS. The best memory of either of the bees was arriving back at the Saint John airport and taxing to the flying club parking area, as my father guided the plane to its parking spot, he had to make a 180 deg. turn on the right wheel. Well for any of you seabee pilots or passengers you may remember the noise of that Franklin engine as power was put on to make the turn. That noise brought people out of the flying club hangar, they were at the windows and even people who stopped by in the parking lot to look at the plans watched as my dad slid the seabee into its parking spot. He would tap the brakes gently as the plane inched forward and was lined up to the tiedowns, then there was that last bust of power before the engine was shut down. Good memories. 11/11/2008 @ 17:19 [ref: 23018] |
| Larry Goodman , FL | In 1955, I took seaplane training, GI Bill, at the Sausalito base in CA. I flew the Luscomb, Cessna, and the Seabee.
Flying over San Francisco Bay was a real great adventure. We also went to Highland Lakes for our nighttime flight. There are not many float planes here in central Florida. Larry 02/21/2008 @ 18:41 [ref: 19739] |

| S. Saevdal , OTH | I have a Seabee website dedicated to the history of this fantastic airplane - my favorite! Please visit;
http://www.seabee.info I will very much appreciate any Republic Seabee stories and photos from all you Seabee enthusiasts out there... Best regards Steinar Saevdal (Norway) www.seabee.info 09/27/2006 @ 11:19 [ref: 14304] |
| Richard Eimert , NY | During the post war era, I maintained two SeaBee's for the Lambros Seaplane Base in NJ. They were used for flight training on the GI bill program and accumulated a lot of hours along with a number of Widgeons and other light aircraft. We had many operational problems with the Bee related to design but they survived. We were disappointed with the normal cruise speed and one day I modified the Hartzel prop blade settings to eliminate the reverse feature and give more available pitch for forward flight. This increased to cruise to about 120 MPH (as I remember) with quite a large change in nose down trim. I never followed through with an approved FAA change. 05/14/2006 @ 05:12 [ref: 13274] |
