Nanook, another factor for the mental exercise, my 180 has lots of camber in the gear. I have access to a boom truck so that's how I lift it and it...

4 ply shaved Air Hawks mounted with tubes on ABW 10" wheels- 49.8#. New 29" Bushwheels mounted on 6" Clevelands with two syringes of No-Tubes added-...

The lack of interest was my own. Cheers.

It's hard to beat PS Engineering's tech support. If you're still stumped on Monday give them a call.

A day made for boys and dogs. The snow makes the dog act like a puppy. Me? Not as much but I may as well try to enjoy it.

Positive thought of the day. The mosquitoes aren't nearly as bad as usual for this time of year. :-)

A thought for a rainy... ahem, snowy afternoon. In a little over a month the days will start getting shorter. ;-)

Radar guns and other speed trap equipment are pretty common these days. It seems like a well conducted acceleration test would tell that tale. It'd...

And if you aren't expecting high winds or flying insect problems it's hard to beat a sil tarp, a couple of trekking poles, some parachute cord, and...

My Hilleberg Jannu is still my lightweight favorite. Very weather-worthy and easy to erect in a storm. Nothing wrong with an REI or equal dome tent....

And here I already put my wing covers away. :crazyeyes:

I do. I'd love to have a good A36,but it doesn't fit my Alaskan mission profile very well. Great airplane.

Sean/Shawn (sp?) is indeed a nice guy. And he does hire great people. I had the pleasure of telling him that in person today. Jason and Heather...

The clinking of those hollow icicles in a light breeze is one of my favorite sounds. Listening to ice flowing by on a river is another. Simple...

Sounds like your mind's made up. Give us a pirep after you've flown it awhile. Good thing you didn't sit next to a Socata rep on that flight!

If I needed an XC machine that was faster and climbed better and off airport damage wasn't a concern? I'd buy a Bonanza. :-) If speed is the goal...

50-ish temps and rain. This is what we've been needing to make winter go away.

I'm not much of a fan of empty airplane STOL contests but all things considered, from the class winning totals I heard about? Congratulations to Rudi...

What got that family through the ordeal doesn't come in a survival kit. That's one tough man. And it's clear he loves his wife and kids. My kind of...

1) Pull the pin out a little and put a slight kink in it. Drive it back into place. Friction fit made easy. 2) Pull the pin out a little from what...

A follow-up comment. I've noticed more prop damage with the Air Hawks than I was used to through the years on 29' Bushwheels. I know it's the...

Dave, I wanted to let Valdez have it's day. The Big Su is my stomping grounds. It's time is arriving. The lower river, below Anderson Creek, is...

The photo of the rejected rods indicate the beams have been ground. I've had rods balance matched and they've never been ground there. The link...
