I started same way with my T-craft, generator power Lear LTRA6, flying the beam across northern Maine 50-plus years ago!

My new Sky-Tec starter was returned to the company last spring after 15 hours, repaired for "corrosion." and returned to me. I was flying my 0360 Bushmaster in 50-50 fresh and salt water. No-go...

I'm prejudiced toward Taylorcraft. Mine cruised easy 100 on 65 hp and taught me practically everything about landing consistently with the wheels planted firmly on the ground, hot days, turbulence,...

My first plane BC12D. A floater unlike what I learned on J3. Same wings?

Mr. Riblett made no special claims for his rib in a conversation with me---"they're just a clean-up" of a common design---and an Aviation Consumer article said there were no particular advantages...

We built our Bushmaster---stretched PA22 with Smith wings, 4130 steel, 15 per cent bigger tail feathers, as two-place. Just my opinion, and I consider the SC ideal, but a little extra weight is no...

I remember talking to Richard when he rolled out the RV3. He cringed. What struck me particularly about him was that he hyped nothing; you knew you were getting the straight goods.

He was a low-key man. When musing about a rib, I called him. He made no claims for his rib. "It was really just a clean-up of a...." He gave the NACA or NASA number but I forgot it. What I do...

One of my father's closest friends, George Harsh, who spent half his life on a Georgia chain gang, went to Canada to join the RCAF after being pardoned, led his gunnery class and was posted overseas,...

Three generations of my family were pilots, beginning before the Second World War. My son is chief pilot of major corporation who can't keep his hands off our float-equipped Bushmaster when he comes...

Larry, my friend was inquiring about someone to weld-up his son's bent PA-12 fuselage up there. I'll ask my son, McCain's chief pilot, what's progressing with Transport Canada and Air Navigation Pro...

I heard Air Navigation Pro will cover additional regions when Transport Canada completes digital sectionals, perhaps 2013. For a one-time cost of $40 down here in the Maritimes it's a good deal. Mine...

You're a good bunch, good company anywhere. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Instrument panel? Old school I put steam gauges in my experimental, older overhauled of my other aircraft, had a couple failures and consequent under-panel torture, took out vacuum system, put in 2.2...

Don't forget: Lee Wulff first came to Newfoundland for flying fishing in a J3 and put Portland Creek on the world angling map!

lowrider, my experience is similar to yours except aviation has never been my craft. I started reading at the top of this thread. I'm 81 with nearly 60 in small aircraft ownership and probably...

My way has always been MTV's.

I asked What is Aerocross and now I know. It's not for me. I'm another against haste in the cockpit. To me, airmanship isn't derring-do. Valdez is another thing, entirely. Valdez is more like my...

What's Aerocross? From the pic, clear approach, should land itself.

Google Eddy Peck in Nova Scotia. He makes great 2250 floats which are on my stretched PA22 180hp Bushmaster. He'll have what you need, floats, gear, fittings, advice.

Thank you for that, Mr. Flinn. One of Canada's most distinguished English professors asked that question when I used the word as a young reporter 60 years ago. I haven't forgotten it.

The word...

GeeBee, you're one of those angels who relayed message "safe in woods" to Halifax Centre to my wife when weathered-in on hunting and fishing trips! The Speedbirds (BOAC) signed off with a cheery...

Now, GeeBee, all the above is genuine: (1) no one can knock the SC for joy and (2) there are lots of wonderful people and places to go to. Have you considered a sort-of mini-Alaska without the...

"Bounty captain talked about chasing hurricanes," Halifax Chronicle Herald reported front page Friday with YouTube picture and parts of interview.

"Capt. Robin Walbridge stood on the deck of the...
