Way to go, Henny! Happy to hear that you checked that box. Wow, that time went fast! Congratulations! Randy

I have one of those kits in my 175, fits great, and is very durable. I'd go there in a heartbeat. I was due for a checkride once in a 206....a...

First, yes, you land wheels down in the snow, and they act sorta like penetration skis there. Then you get out and use a lever to put the skis...

Agreed that a hybrid of some sort MAY be made practical at some point, but in little airplanes?? And, there has never been "big money to be...

Yes it was an equipment “thing”. Remember there’s a reason for the criteria for IFR certification periodically of pitot static system and...

Well, you can do that, but not legally. A fairly recent Chief Counsel opinion said if you file, everything has to be IFR certified. MTV

My understanding of that electric Beaver (a proof of concept) is that, with batteries and a pilot in the airplane, it was very near legal gross...

But the system Stewart posted requires a “third party issued ID”. So, you’d have to apply for one of those, then use that when communicating with...

As a follow up to this discussion, with a bit of a tangent: At least one government agency was operating their CC-18-180 Top Cubs at “night”. The...

Dang, I guess my wife has been right all along....she's always said I was an insensitive kinda guy.......:cry: :lol: MTV

Read the discussions above on this thread and look at the pictures.....there's a heck of a lot more than just compression loads going on in this...

I find it interesting that nobody has mentioned the different metallurgy of the old Piper fuselages vs a new, all 4130 fuselage. That's got to be...

Good information here. I agree with Bill and Crash regarding weights. I once flew a Super Cub (certified, not EX) that had an honest 970 pound...

Ummm, yes, magnaflux is kinda the standard. MTV

Looks like a really nice airplane, Steve, congratulations! MTV

Yes, the Cool School folks were speaking to the lowest common denominator....which, by the way, so are we here on this forum. No doubt there are...

There are several "legacy" retractable wheel skis that may be approved on your plane, depending on what model it is. AWB 2500s, LHD 3000s, ...

Also, if you're pulling the gear legs for paint, have them checked for cracks. Some of these old gear legs (variable to most) have been thumped,...

Axes are far better than hatchets. That said, at Cool School (Air Force Arctic Survival Training) instructors admonished us to consider carrying...

Yow!! MTV
