This IO-550 B(4) has heavy engine case with seventh stud. Note the details and workmanship in the engine compartment. This is the more desirable "non canted” engine mount conversion.
Advantages/differences regarding A/B models:
This aircraft is an EX US Air Force “A” model. Prior to it’s extensive restoration by Charlie Nogle it was an Air Force Aero Club aircraft based in Colorado.
The A model has selectable “left” and “Right” fuel tanks unlike the Navy “B” model that transfers fuel from both wings to a center fuselage tank. The “B” system has proven to be troublesome and many convert to this system.
Only the A model is certified in the “ACROBATIC CATEGORY”
Only the A model has a steerable nose wheel.
Only the A model has vertically adjustable seats.
This aircraft has always been hangared here and maintained in "flight ready-squawk free status”
The wheel wells always tell the story of how well an aircraft is maintained and indicate the scope of the restoration.

THE T34 SPAR A.D.
There are several different FAA approved "Alternate Means of Compliance” that return the T34 to flight status. The Aviadesign fail safe “Saunders Strap” is the only one that gives structural redundancy to the main wing spars, main wing attach bolts, main wing attach bolt "bath tub” fittings on the wing and fuselage and to the main spar center section carry through structure.
Click on this link here to see The AOPA summary of this Airworthiness Directive. Note that only the Saunders Strap returns the aircraft to it’s original flight envelope airspeeds and G load limits.
You can see the external strap in this photo. It extends across the center section and fans out (flush riveted out the bottom of the wing panels).
The same basic design has been around for years and is used on Beech 18s, King Airs and many other aircraft. It virtually eliminates wing structure fatigue issues.
Important considerations for the discriminating shopper to consider when comparing the pedigree of "13 Tango" to other T34s:
-This "non canted" reliable 300HP factory reman IO-550 engine conversion is the best engine choice for performance, aesthetics and reliability.
-This Acrobatic Category "A" is the most desirable model.
-This aircraft has been restored to "Oshkosh Winner" standards by renown, highly respected, established T-34 experts that hold multiple STCs.
-All flight controls have been recently overhauled and are perfect.
-Meticulously operated, stored and maintained.
-No corrosion or damage history
-Excellent records.
-Fail safe "Saunders Strap" gives more structural redundancy than all other AD compliance options and does not restrict operational envelope.
-Excellent avionics / autopilot
-Very low total time "Prime Condition Aircraft" with all the right stuff!
