Don't have any stories about that Stewart, but ask me sometime about jumping out on the float and hand propping a hot IO-520 three bladed 185 floating backwards down a narrow fast brush and spruce...

Well suppose to be a fun BBQ not a medivac and retrieval party. :-).

This is kind of late notice, but the Skwentna Roadhouse is putting on their second annual Flyin June 1 and 2, 2013. This year they got all the permissions in place to have a STOL competition and...

Add me to the group of leaving here. MTV get over yourself.

I have hangar storage available at my hangar at ACE Hangars at Merrill. Guy on lift is only here until May

You will not need to have a phone/tablet with the new inReach to send two-way text and emails. It has a screen and keyboard.

I have a SpiderTracks, 406ELT, and have been carrying a Irridum sat phone. I also have Spot original, Spot Connect (used a lot on my prior PA-12) and recently bought a DeLorme inReach for my wife. ...

X2 on Naviator... nice Ap, very flexible for getting background maps in. In some ways I like it better than Fore Flight that I have on the iOS iPad. Have the Naviator Ap on my Android phone that is...

Sick engine.

Sorry to hear this, wow. A great guy, always willing to help someone out on this forum. RIP and godspeed Don.

I should have took photos of putting my new AeroLift up in my hangar. No injuries but our McGuyver rigging had lots of potential for bad things. Forklift and ladders involved.

Dalec... Try running it with partial choke on when it gets below -20. The air is so dense you need really to re-jet, but putting 1/4 choke on will enrichen it enough so they run. SOP for me, mine...

You are mis-informed on that. I have started my Honda 1000 at -40 with full synthetic oil in it. Usually run 5W-20W Mobil 1 synthetic. Routinely start it at -20. Stewart is right, as long as the...

hey I recognize that door! It's mine. :-)

Just ask Mike-MCS about Imron he sprayed on my wings in 1997. In my case it was over a Ditzler field approved process fabric done in 1984. 15 years after the Imron went on and they looked perfect...

Ursa Mike its a unit at Ace Hangars.

Great stories Arctic, I think those of us in Alaska can definitely relate to your experience.

After tieing airplanes down outside for 39 years in Anchorage (primarily Merrill and Lake Hood), and...

Definitely the PA-18 tail is needed, and required as said for the 150hp and higher hp, and the Gross Weight increase. Would also say if you put a big baggage in, having the big tail is needed. Plan...

Take offs are optional, landings are mandatory.

Always make round trips.

Always park plane like it is ready to leave, you don't know when you will have to in a hurry.

Planes are...

Carburetor ice in part lead to the demise of 79H. That -12, which I had for 34 years and 3900 hours was always very very prone to carb ice, visible moisture or not. I learned to mitigate it by...

VERY nice Mike!

Stewart is right. Very easy and inexpensive to add hangar liability & property damage to AVEMCO aircraft policy. My new hangar is at Merrill.

Yepper, and I love SB's strategy in rebuilding. Its a wonderful PA-12, balance surprised me as I expected much tail heavier with the short mount.
