Opis

This 1957 de Havilland DHC-2 MK1 Beaver, serial number 1014, is a thoughtfully upgraded, wheel-equipped aircraft built for reliable utility and short-field operations. Known worldwide for its rugged capability, this Beaver combines classic airframe strength with modern avionics and performance enhancements that make it equally well suited for private ownership or commercial utility use.

The aircraft is powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine, 695 hours since overhaul, paired with a three-blade Hartzell propeller for smooth operation and strong takeoff performance. The Baron STOL kit and 5,370-lb gross weight increase improve low-speed controllability, stall behavior, and payload flexibility, particularly effective in wheel configuration where wing performance directly translates to runway capability.

The cockpit features a modernized avionics suite including a Garmin GTN 750Xi, GNS 430 WAAS, GTX 345R ADS-B In/Out, dual Garmin GI 275 ADAHRS displays, and an S-TEC 50 autopilot. Engine monitoring is provided by a JPI EDM-700, delivering comprehensive data and trend awareness for improved engine management.

Inside, the cabin is configured for six passengers and emphasizes durability and visibility. Features include a Sealand Alaska door for improved access, Loncoin vinyl flooring, Wipaire pilot and co-pilot seats, additional cabin and skylight windows, domed windows, electric flaps, shoulder harnesses, and GA and LEMO headset connections throughout. Operational upgrades such as Cleveland wheels and brakes, Kenmore battery forward installation, engine pre-oil system, Jasco alternator and regulator, Brackett air filter, and Precise Flight pulse landing lights round out a highly capable package.

Float Conversion Opportunity
Configured today for wheel operations, this Beaver also represents an excellent opportunity for installation of new Wipline 6100 floats. This provides a clear path to creating a complete, modern Beaver package that combines proven landplane performance with current-production float technology, offering flexibility for operators seeking both land and water capability.
