dave, thanks for putting this together once again--it's always a great time.

We just got Girlscout's schedule, and she can't make it this year, but I'm planning to head out for Johnson Crick next...

All these years, I thought "Logger Rita" must be the sweetheart of the logging camp :wink:. Turns out it's "LaGarita". I've got word in to one of my friends from The Valley for a local translation...

This is a good discussion. Jason, I've had the same experience with elastic stop nuts backing off, and requiring re-torquing. What torque value do you use with the castle nuts?

Thanks. cubscout

This is really GREAT news. Despite all the interest in back country flying, there has been a paucity of available airstrips in Colorado. BIG shoutout to all who've been quietly working away at...

There have been some very informative discussions of 406 ELT's on this website and elsewhere. So as to not highjack those threads, I'm starting a new one.

From what I gather from other threads,...

Agreed, good thread going here. Always interested in new and improved materials and techniques.

Jason, thanks for researching that. Just for reference, what would comparable weights be for more...

Thanks. cubscout
