Performance figures on
Franklin 220 hp equipped L-164
|
The BushCaddy L164 four seater is big bold and beautiful. At 2500 gross, this
model will acommodate 1200 lbs plus of payload. Featuring two large main doors
with optional hinged windows, four fully adjustable and removable seats with
hinged backs to allow for easy entry into the back, and featuring our unique
"caddy storage" compartments under the cushions. A generous cabin and cargo bay
with standard cargo door. Your kit comes complete with wheels, brakes, engine
cowling, nose bowl - all you add is paint, engine and instruments. Flight
testing the L164 has resulted in better than expected STOL and climb
performance. The take-off run has to be seen to be believed!
A cargo version "C" model
of this remarkable aircraft
is also available for those who want a total utility aircraft.. |

"The Bush Caddy was off the ground before I expected it to be, and flew
and handled very much like a miniature Beaver, on which I have about 5,000
hours (of my total of l6,500 on various other aircrafts)
The Bush Caddy is very roomy inside and has good visibility., but the
flight test did it all. ( My wife and I are presently building
a L164.
We plan to put a 3.3 liter Subaru engine in with a constant speed prop and
kevlar amphib floats.) " Joe Ulrich
