--> Beech-List message posted by: ROBINFLY@aol.com
What happen to Mike Smith?
I read a lot about Mike Smith and his speed conversion in the ABS CD, and it
is simply amazing to be able to gain 20 to 40 knots without increase power.
I understand that Beryl D'Shannon now owns most of Mike Smith's STC. My phone
calls to Beryl D'Shannon lead me to believe that Beryl D'Shannon is not
interested in doing the speed conversion program as Mike Smith did, it is
more interested in selling products and engine STC's.
What happen to Mike Smith and his speed conversion program? If Mike Smith is
no longer in speed conversion business, does any of his employee who has the
know how still doing the speed conversion program? Does anyone know why Mike
Smith got out of the speed conversion business? Last question, where is and
what happen to his famous Bonanza, N111MS?
Regards,
Robin Hou

Last time I saw Mike he was working on an MU2 at his shop in Johnson, KS
near the CO border. Had the largest collection of P-Baron fuselage's ever
seen in one place. Makes you wonder what he's thinking. He still has his
damaged racing Bo. He or someone in his family is into ag spraying. I
bought the 550 core out of his personal A36.

Joe,
Just curious but do you know if Mike is still in business to any extent or is
he completely out of the business? I'm on the opposite side of Kansas but
have often thought about calling him up to see if he has any intrest in doing
work.

It's a shame that D'Shannon buys these things up apparently to get them off
the market. No, I've changed my mind, it absolutely sucks! I've heard that
Mike's son does some things, but JB or Kevin would probably know better.

John,
You might call him or fly out there. Someone at the airport should have his
number.

Power is much less effective at increasing speed than drag reduction. I
look at my Debonair and I see lotsa ways to reduce drag. But 20 to 40
knots??? Skepticism here....
