My transducer was mounted just fwd. of the step, and worked fine in almost all situations. Our maintenance geniuses first mounted it just behind the...

They operate on the principal of sonar. Sound is transmitted and then the receiver “listens” for an echo. Water is dense, so sound transmits...

Yes, and the signal strength you're receiving is very low. I don't think I'd paint any GPS antenna, regardless. But, the manufacturer would be the...

GPS doesn’t like paint. And paint it black, put it on glareshield and it will get HOT. MTV

But, who's counting? The number of craft breweries is also going exponential.....not necessarily a bad thing. Home prices are getting scary...

Montana is full, I hear North Dakota is nice..... MTV

Actually, IF your Super Cub has a stock fuel system, you should always take off and land on the left tank only.....It's the only one with a forward...

Before you dump too much cash into that plane, take a look at the Dynon Skyview PFD. 7 inch and 10 inch. With the 10 inch, you can add engine...

The ducting on the side of the lower cowl works on Huskys and the Carbon Cubs, both of which tend to run warm. The Huskys use a cowl vent like this:...

i knew the fellow with the rifle mounted on the roof of a Super Cub. He flew Mustangs in WW II. The Cub had a sliding hatch in the skylight that...

There have been medevacs I'm aware of where the injured person had survivable (but uncomfortable) injuries, but was killed in the ensuing medevac...

His location is shown as Austria. I’m not sure he needs to worry about the FAA. MTV

I wouldn't want to own one of those outfits and have to pay next year's insurance bill either..... Terrible deals, when these folks are sincerely...

Sounds like an interesting project. What type aircraft, a European built type? I can't answer the first couple of questions, but the rear...

For the price of two of these things, you could buy a 7 inch Dynon PFD and have change. And a display old eyes can actually see. MTV
