Congrats! I may get crap from the mainlanders (....am I a cheechako now that I've moved outside???) but Sitka is the most beautiful town in the state of Alaska. Have a beer at the brewing company and enjoy a look at that beautiful harbor for me! Jimmy Buffet may have been talking about the...

Hey Guys (Sorry for the late reply!). She is a legit L-16A (cool, but doesn't make/break the deal for me). Great advice to give the wings a good look over. Tim, yep, 6 month old daughter! I take her to the hangar, put her in her play pen, and work away! Can't wait till she gets old enough to...

Right wing has no damage. On the left I plan to remove the fabric and do a good looksie what what lies underneath. If it's damaged, repair and replace as needed. Luckily for parts, Aircraft Spruce is 5 minutes from from front door...now Univair is a bit further!

Hey Guys 'n Gals, Long story short, It looks like I might be able to get a damaged Aeronca L-16A for a great price. Lost power, put into a gas line right of way, a couple longerons were bent and the engine quick stopped. C-85-8 with low time up front, left wing tip has slight impact damage (just...

Tim, The cub will be about 15 west of oshkosh on my buddies cousin's farm. If the weather is good and I can stick around the area a day or two, I'll drop into New Holstein in the Super Cub for a bit and say hello before heading south!

Whats all this talk about speed? We fly cubs. If you want speed, go cheat on Piper and get yourself one of those spam cans!

Nice info on that Starke County! Looks like a perfect first stop. I called Lee Bottom. The goal, for now, is to mosy on down to Lee Bottom, camp out for a night, then surf the Appalachians down to Hotlanta!

Congrats!

2450 on an -320 gets me 88mph with 31's and a cargo pod, so no complaints here...but I did upgrade from a tired (understatement!) 65hp franklin j3 so anything better than 60mph is mind blowingly fast!

Going to miss it? I already do! I don't miss the workplace but I sure do miss those sunrises (when I got to see them...the radar room has a few disadvantages!) over the Chugach sipping a hot mug of coffee in the tower. I don't miss working those heavy connie -200's! They didn't get eastbound...

Gary, I was a controller at Anchorage Approach/Departure for the past 5 years, just transferred to Atlanta Approach/Departure. I kept the cub on Lake Hood while living there. A buddy of mine is flying her to Airventure-Oshkosh where I am picking her up and bringing her back to Senoia. I bet...

Gary, Great chatting with you quickly at SnF! I'll send pictures as soon as I can. My cub is sitting up on Lake Hood. Yeah the strip is a little short for the Pitts guys (2,000) but a great place to enjoy a quiet evening! Anyone on here is welcome to drop in for some sweet tea or stronger...

I may have missed it (I miss everything according to my wife, but thats another ball game) but the mod I love the most is the battery under the seat from Atlee Dodge. Knocked a few pounds off my cub when I did that last year. I also like adding a chart tray (which was done to mine prior to me...

Hey Yall, Just wondering if anyone has some good grass airports that have gas between Oshkosh and Atlanta? My buddy is flying my cub to Oshkosh from AK, I'm picking her up there and bringing her to her new home at Big T Airpark. If the weather is good, I'll plan on doing it in 2 days so looking...
