Hi everyone,
I purchased (did not build) my Rebel Murphy Rebel Amphibious (serial number
0178R) C-GGNB May 20th. The A/C was built in 1994 by D.Lawson and G.Crouse
of New Brunswick. It was later purchased by P.Webb and maintained by
C.Phipps in early 2000 and kept in Brockville Ont. I have flown apx 30 hrs
(on wheels and 14 hrs dual and solo on floats) A/C has now apx 265 total
time.
Just got my float rating this Friday. I love the A/C. My float instructor
(Jacques Dupuis) will only give ratings on solid home builds and this is one
of them. He has over 10,000 hrs on all types of float planes and liked my
aircrafts' performance. Full fuel and both weighing each 185 lbs with second
last notch of flaps (160 hp O-320 engine) we were taking off in apx 11
seconds (in 5 to 8 knts of wind--- with lake elevation of 800 ft ASL). We
were doing cross wind landings and take offs on one float, engine failures
also taking off on one float and in the evening managed to get some glassy
water training.
On the A/C I have since done the annual, replaced wheel bearings, etc. 121.5
ELT certification. I am neighbour to Bob Cressman and am lucky to have him
give me very good advice on both the flying and maintenance of the Murphy
Rebel Amphib. Of course Bob Patterson was also invaluable with advice and
convinced me to join the list (even if the A/C is already built).
Anyways it is an honor to join your group. Hopefully I can contribute if not
I will humbly listen and learn.
Best regards
