Thanks Guys .. you're in there now .. Dan .. your plane is listed as a model "S-18 THORP"???? Always confused by the Model names we all enter ... I always assumed Manufacturer (Builder name) Model "Thorp T-18","Sunderland S-18", "T-18C", or "T-18CW" Here are some of the Models in the registry ... 'S-18', 'S-18T', 'SUNDERLAND S-18', 'SUNDERLAND S18', 'T-18', 'T-18C', 'T-18CW', 'T18J', 'TAYLOR T-18', 'THORP', 'THORP S-18', 'THORP T-18', 'THORP T-18-C', 'THORP T18C', 'THORP-18', 'THORPE T-18', 'T-18-2', 'BURKE THORP T18', 'S-18 THORP' |

I noticed that my friend Joe Gauthier's S-18 wasn't on the map, N22067. The plane is based in Hartford, CT. |

Understood Dan, We're all free to put whatever we want down a the aircraft model ... I'm just pointing out that it's hard to get 100% coverage when people enter odd names ... I was not looking for 'S-18 Thorp' as that just didn't occur to me ... The S-18 is a Sunderland Design (i.e. Sunderland S-18), John Thorp did not want his name associated to that design as the point was to remove him from liability/support as his health began to fade. That's the whole reason the 'Thorp T-18CW' became the 'Sunderland S-18'. Either way as I said, we can put whatever we like in that field ... 'Dan DE-1' is just as legal as 'S-18 Thorp' but some of the one off model names did not get caught on the first pass .. ... If I left anyone else off please let me know! |

It did not occur to me Lee that John Thorp had absolutely no say in the design of the S version of the Thorp, Guess I have been misinformed so sorry for that and the history I studied was incorrect. I have been thinking for the past 10 years that I had built a Thorp, and have actually called it that, when folks asked what it was I always responded with S-18 Thorp. Looks like I have been mistaken.....Dan |

No worries Dan! It's absolutely a Thotp. Just expressing the difficulties with parsing the FAA registry for Thorps. Call it whatever you want ... It's a Thorp! |

To clarify. The S-18 is a T-18CW, it was just rebranded to remove Thorp from involvement. Most plans are the same drawing with just the lower right hand replaced with a Sunderland brand. |
