I am a confirmed tailwheel nut, about 95% of my time is in them, but I have to point out that there's plenty of nosedraggers flying in the...

I checked Spruce prices...looks like Grove pads are about halfway between Rapco & Cleveland. I've been using Rapco pads for years...maybe next time...

Insurance is wierd. When I got my first taildragger (C170), I had maybe 300 hours in C150s & 152s. So they wanted me to get a 5 hour 170 checkout....

A guy at my airport has an old set of C150 wings stashed behind his hangar-- I think about that Badlands Traveller every time I see them.....

I installed a SkyTec Flyweight starter on my old 320-powered C150TD-- worked great (much better than the stock Prestolite), no problems. I ran it...

All (but one) of the airline guys I know are GA pilots, who fly a lot-- usually they own a Skywagon or Cub of some sort (sometimes both). That's...

About 15 years ago, Maule introduced their M4-180V-- a round-tailed, 2 seat (side by side) taildragger. It was very attractively priced-- just...

That's a bummer. I bought a cargo net from them a few years ago-- they have an amazing variety of sizes available, for very reasonable prices. It...

"Future hobby"....I'm curious about when was the last time you flew an airplane that didn't burn jet A? If it was before you started flying...

Depends on the discs you have. I just bought a et of 40-75B wheels to mount my 26" GY's on. The seller ran 26" GY's on them, & installed disc...

Here's a link to the Flybaby webpage. There's links to some Stromberg articles by Neal Wright. Also a link to Harry Fenton's site, all about 4...

Competition for Dusty. I hope things work out for you, for a series of those books.

A few years ago, I noticed a kind of ticking sound in my 180. Eventually I looked up into the (dual) exhausts-- one muffler had been missing the...

Or mix with 100LL.

I had flown into Tieton state airstrip at the east end of Rimrock Lake, east of Yakima WA, & was walking around with some friends when we thought we...

Friend of mine owns a Cessna with a tail number ending in Kilo Yankee. I call it "Jelly".

I would think that would be a non-event, if it's registration is still in effect. File a bill of sale & application for registration showing the new...

Well, it sounds like you're half owner-- why not put the 800x4 set-up back on your half of the airplane?

Is non-skid really what you want there? I would think something smooth so your feet can move back & forth freely.

It kinda doesn't matter what anyone thinks is a reasonable rate. What matters is what you are quoted. Call around & see where the quotes come in....

Bob, just which tires (and wheels?) did you install? (and pics please)

I assume that you're either a first responder, or in a high-risk category. I'm looking forward to getting a vaccination, but I don't quite fit into...

I run at least 75% e-zero mogas, so plugs run extremely clean-- so lead clinkers to dig out. All I need to do is give them a quick blast. Check &...

The link floatsalaska provided in post #113 8.50-10 6 Ply Aero Classic Smooth Tundra lightweight (desser.com) shows a price of $340. Doesn't...

Thanks for posting the old school phonetic alphabet. Only 4-1/2 of them are still used today-- 5 if you cound "fox" as being close enough to...

Looking at a pic I took of the airplane, I think you must be right. For some reason, I had it in mind that they were 31's. They did look like a...

That's one landing every ten minutes. Back to math class for you....

x2. Depends on how your feet ride on the pedals, but I'd think maybe the bump should be on the bottom. I needed to add to the bottom of the pedals...
