Hello!
By way of introduction ... I had run across an old thread wherein there was some back and forth about someone building a Loening C2H Air Yacht ... and it's the one aircraft that's missing from my CNAC hangar (and boy, it leaves a BIG HOLE).
Anyone out there have a clue? I'd sure like to discuss it. |

It was 2007 that Alexander Belov was posting about the Air Yacht. As far as I can determine, it never happened. Alex hasn't logged in since May of 2013 so I don't know if it ever will happen. Unless the GAS guys decide to do it...

Thanks, Tom!
I was hoping that by "poking the nest" I'd arouse some latent interest in this wonderful aircraft. ALEX ... if you're out there ... check in. GAS or Lionheart or anyone who builds aircraft (especially those with 2 or more wings) ... check out the Loening C-2H ... you'll see where Grumman got the idea for the J2F Duck ... this is it's parent.

Hi to all.
Just wanted to post this bit of information:
I have a copy of Model Airplane News from October 1958 that has two pages of detailed print drawings of the Loening C2H Air Yacht.
I also have a copy of "AMPHIBIAN, The Story of the Loening Biplane" by Grover Loening himself! Has three SOLID chapters on the later Air Yachts. Great exterior and interior shots.
So ... any of you builders out there who want to take a crack at this amazing aircraft ... let me know and I'll get some scans for you.
