Having watched a lot of 337 videos, this is one of the best introductions for technical details.

When I was 14 I saw a sky master at the Nort Bend Oregon Airport and thought it was very cool. A mechanic was working on the rear engine. At age 24 as a A&P working on the rear engine of a 337 I realized that mechanic I saw was having a bad day!

Very nice over all walk-around and review. (The Best I have watched in a long time) I have owned all of the Skymasters, 336 up to P337s, even an O2 with over 10,000 hours of safe fun flying, many were over-water, jungles, hot missions, mountains, airshows or open water (they always brought me home). The TSIO550s with IR sensors and loaded hard points were the funnest to fly., along with the Adams A500. Please Keep up the with the good work General Sky

I love these planes. I know they’re a bit more labor intensive but I’m going to buy one in the near future. Besides, It’s the closest I’ll ever get to owning a P-38. :)

We love our '67 T337B. We have a belly pod which is great for our camping gear. I'm actually going to school to be an A&P so that I can work on ours and others as there aren't many left that know these pretty birds.

Love 337's. Nice informational video.

I’ve got a 74 with the gear door mod, best mod for a 337. We have the cargo pod, which the book states only a 3mph penalty. Even with only 4 people it’s worth it to have the extra space for chocks and steps.

Beautiful plane

I had a highly modified stol, biturboed520, cupped leading edge, 3 blade reversing pops, elecgear, Loran, autopilot, king stack, landed in 200 ft with faa award. 6 passenger, drooping wingtip, 131 gallon, Whelen strobes, O2 AC intercom

Excellent stuff bro

Great video, love the sky smasher, definitely one of my favorites!

I suspect that the Cessna Skymaster is probably the best performing twin-engined aircraft…..two engines with the drag of te engine’s nacelle, no yaw-tendencies during engine-out, no torque factor……great design……thighs that were designed in the 60’s and 70’s are the best design.

Great video - thanks. 👍🏻

Very interesting content thank you. Well done on the production quality slick and professional. Looking forward to more in the future.

really enjoyed that video, loads of info on the bits you should know about if considering buying one. Love these aircraft

Used to fly around NZ in an early 336 when they first came out - good level of thrust and climb capability (on both engines of course) and had no problems whatsoever with the landing gear lol

Really good video

This excellent video brings back some happy memories. I flew right seat with an old fellow in a 337, No. N6200F. It was painted dark blue with a red Z-stripe, drawing the nickname, "Nightfighter." He has passed, I am old, and the plane is long gone to parts unknown. Happy flying!

very good

I actually learned to fly in a 65 model the guy was teaching me for free I might add, he kept it meticulous. We had all kinds of nicknames for suck and blow, suck me blow you some I can’t remember but it was a great plane. Although we did lose the rear engine once let me tell you, you better be fast in getting that prop feathered especially if it’s the front engine.

Wow just found yall's channel and i must say i'm stunned you all don't have 1mil subscribers yet. Amazing quality and production keep up the good work!

Alright!

Such an amazing aircraft, I hope to fly or even own one some day!

WOW! I have never learned as much about any one aircraft as I did about the Skymaster in this video. I've loved the look of the Skymaster for 20+ years, and I've read a lot about them, but I didn't know half of the things in this video. I didn't know about the coupling between the electric trim and the flap settings. Is that true for all Skymaster models? The STC to remove the clamshell doors is amazing! I think I've seen Skymasters flying where you could see the wheels in the back; I guess they had that mod. I don't know why every single Skymaster doesn't have that. Wow! (well, cost, I suppose). Thank you so much for this incredibly thorough video!

Great vid, congrats! My grandpa owned a 1973 Reims-built FT337GP (I-PLAS) which I have been trying to locate for a while. Must be a complex machine to run without access to proper servicing.

XTA. Ahh I have a soft spot for that aircraft. Funny you mention the gear doors. I had a situation on landing after a fair stint over the water involving the landing gear but that might be a story for another time.

Es un avión muy muy lindo!

Maintained a pressurized model for years. Extremely complicated, expensive, noisy vibrating machine. We used to refer to it as the chafe master as the rear engine baffles were always worn. Overheating was a major problem even in a mild climate. Cool airplane.

The sky master is such an underrated bird

I remember when I was 15 learning to fly I new a guy that had one I think he paid $80,000 for it and put $80,000 in it and still had problems. We lost the rear engine on the way back from Jacksonville and he had nothing but trouble with the gear doors it’s been 27 years and rumor has it he’s still working on it.

Great informative video. Got the link there for the hybrid version?

Hey the 337 is a very cool Plane

Super informative! Is there an option for fairings on the wheels to help mitigate the chance of rocks flying up into the rear prop?

The gear doors are not electrically actuated. They are hydraulic, with sequencing valves.

Wasn't the PT6 version a one off STC for the Navy? I would have liked to see a GE H75 but it is not avail as a pusher engine due to thrust bearing design.

Did the very earliest 336 version of the Skymaster have the best TO and sea-level initial climb-out performance due to it's more compact fuselage and lesser weight? Certainly the earliest version of the venerable C150 with the 'continuous line' fuselage aerodynamics, was also the lightest, and therefore presented the best power to weight ratio of all the 0-200 C150's, translating to higher TO and sea-level climb-out performance, when compared against the progressively heavier 'Omniview' higher drag versions.

Ive gotten into possession of two 02a, salvage condition. Are there brand new parts available for these 337b's. What companies do a complete rebuild and modernised upgrade?

Any black ones with red piping and a faded tail number of 101BL probably need avoiding .....?

I flown in a 337 Skymaster and I called it a Mixer

Amazing how many interesting aircraft Cessna designed and built in the heyday of GA, not a new design in over 40 years and only 3 single engine models in production and all are fixed gear. At some point these legacy planes will time out, and the only used aircraft available in 30-40 years from now will be from Cirrus!

alright

When you getting your Multi engine in this it will only be certified for Center line thrust rating only

Can fly at indonesia

Do you need a multi engine rating to fly this bird? Since there's no asymmetric thrust...

Alright

want to know something i have a milltary skymaster where i live

Alright?

Expecting a phone call?

Turbine model? Really?

Cool airplane; but the comintator, very annoying,so will go elsewhere...tired of the accent...
