Re: Chief 1946 For Sale

Yes, I have a FedEx pilot that I have talked to that does ferry work on the side. I have not used him but have talked to him and he seems very helpful. He is based out of Olive Branch, MS.

Columbus, OH is not that far away. Come on down and take a look. I think you will be happy with what you find.

Dual brakes

I have an 11AC with mechanical heal brakes on the left side. Has anyone ever added mechanical brakes to the right side without upgrading to hydraulic? Considering this for some training purposes and would like brakes on both sides.

Thanks,
