I'm planning on flying the Cub down to the midwest this fall. Not having done this trip before, I have a number of questions that more experienced forum members might be able help me with. The plan is to leave mid to late September, first heading to NE Montana for a couple weeks of bird hunting. Then, on to northern Indiana where I'll park the plane in a hanger over the winter. I'll fly it back up to Alaska in the spring. After a complete rebuild during the past several years, I'm not really happy letting it sit out in the SW Alaska winters. I'm also spending more and more time in Indiana helping my aging parents, and someone here has to keep an eye on it. It will also be there for me to fly while I'm down there.
So, I'll post a few questions, and appreciate any responses.
I'll likely leave from the Wasilla area and cross the border in Montana. Cruise as I'm set up now (29 in. Gar Aeros and 8241 prop) is 80 to 85 mph.
How many flight hours has it been taking to get from Anchorage to Montana?
I'll add questions to the thread as I get further along in the planning.
