www.roseaircraft.com NEW!

I realize Seabee Owner’s Club members have access to a lot of type specific information and favorite local shops that specialize in amphibians. However, we have a few options for Seabee owner/pilots. So, we would like to offer any Seabee Owner’s Club member in good standing 10% off any singular maintenance request to any combination of maintenance,  paint, and interior refurbishment. This could be a substantial savings for someone wanting an outside source to complete a restoration. No request too small or too large.  Where we really can help is interior fabrication. We have the capability to custom design seat upgrades, interior sidewalls, headliners, instrument panel overlays, and install a fair amount of glass as well. Need components painted?  Give us a call.
