Was there ever a Super Clipper?

Was there ever a Super Clipper?

Yes! It is called a Pacer.

Just kidding.

I have never heard of a Super Clipper but, I'll bet there are some fairly "suped" 😀 up Clippers. Then there some beautiful ones like Gilbert's.

I saw this on Barnstormer's, highly modified and highly priced, but I suppose you can't build one like it yourself for less, http://www.eliteairservice.com/listi...nnumber=N676SC

Those chrome sticks look great

I'd like to see a bone stock Clipper with the Trimmer 180HP upgrade STC with climb prop.

It would look like Grandpas airplane; Brown interior, stock Cream color boring paint scheme but blows the doors off the Supercubs at Johnson Creek. That would be a show ID like to personally see!

Nice looking Clipper. would like to see the paperwork on the balanced tail feathers.

Robert Bach (writer, photographer, son of Richard Bach, aviation book writer)had a Super Clipper at Brodhead, WI last year. I think it was at Blakesburg, too, but I wasn't there.

It's got a Pacer cowl.
Experimental. built by Joe Strouse from KY I believe. Saw it years ago at Sun n Fun.
Note the extended wings and jury struts.

Looked up that Michigan bird, Feds think it has a -290 in it.

I'm not sure that that engine info listed on faa.gov ever changes unless there is a new airworthiness certificate issued. Just looked up another Clipper that has had an O-320 in it for a decade via field approval, faa website still shows O-235 and A/W dated 1956

I've been trying to decide what engine to use, thought about the Trimmer O-360 STC, but I understand I would have to modify my cowling to fit the 360 in it, not sure just read that somewhere, and would like to keep the cowling original. I also believe an O-320 saves 10 or 20 pounds, so my other idea is an O-320 using the Cedric Abbott STC, low compression engine with Lycon ported / polished cylinders to increase to 170 or so hp, and a prop that takes a big enough bite of air so it wont over rev the engine at full throttle.
