This 1953 de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver (Registration C-FMRN, Serial 480) presents a well-maintained example of the iconic bush plane, with 17,509 total hours on airframe and 1,062 SMOH on its Pratt & Whitney R985 engine. The aircraft underwent a comprehensive restoration in September 2019, accumulating only 1,017 hours since, which included a full strip and repaint in silver with black and gold accents, avionics upgrades, new windscreens, and installation of a SNEW Hartzell 3-blade propeller with 848 hours TT. Notable modifications include a STOLairus STOL kit, 5,370 lb gross weight increase, Jasco alternator kit, stainless steel elevator trim push rods, and Whelen LED anti-collision lighting, enhancing its utility for commercial or private operations.
Equipped with Edo 4930 straight floats and certified for fresh water use, this Beaver is ready for amphibious missions. The avionics suite features a Garmin GMA 345 audio panel, GNS 430W WAAS GPS/NAV/COM, GTR 225 COM radio, and GTX 327 transponder, supporting IFR capability. The interior includes a 3-place mid-cabin bench seat and rear sling seat with extended baggage space. Recent maintenance highlights include a 2023 bird cage NDI inspection, lifetime wing struts, and all ADs/SBs current, making it a turnkey asset for revenue service or adventurous family use.
