I would point out that virtually ALL “training” we normally do in these planes is with a far forward CG. In fact, I suspect, a lot of it is done...

Geeezzz, Gary --- Here all these years I just assumed it was me.... MTV

Which is one justification for three pointing it in some circumstances. MTV

Okay, forgive me, but this thread has taken on a really shitty odor......:Gcloppy: From wind to, errr, gas..... MTV

Yes, those temps shouldn't be a problem. I've used the "Zero Start" (used to be "little buddy") heaters down to -40, but always listen to them when...

Jeff, Good for you for cleaning up the "stuff" inside those floats. I'm not sure about the gooey stuff that EDO used on those eye bolts, but I'll...

If the cabin heater you’re using is a fan type, be absolutely certain that fan will actually start spinning if it’s really cold. May not apply to...

Whatever you do, I'd secure those "garages" down REALLY, REALLY well to protect in wind. Looks like an invitation to spend a lot of spring weather...

Whatever you do, make certain you have a whistle slot somewhere up in the warm part of the engine compartment. In my experience, vent tubes that...

Fuel tanks: I’d vote for Dakota Cub tanks. MAYBE Cubcrafters headerless system with off/R/L/Both selector. Small battery under seat. Reverse...

The safety record of the Navy’s nuclear program was built on Rickovers hard ass approach, and his running the program, instead of a commission. MTV

Until someone finds some sort of HUGE power generating capability that has fewer issues, nuclear plants would seem to be a better solution in many...

It's not a debate according to the FAA......you can USE it, you just don't get credit toward the 51 %. And, there are folks doing Experimental...

This is the one that came to mind right off in this thread. Yes, a 7GC CAN be made to perform. Exp vs Certified: I’d talk to whomever will...

Have you called Don’s and asked them what was done? Or asked the previous owner if a work order came with the engine? Is Don’s still in business?...

The Baumann 2100 floats are simply the best performing floats of similar size I’ve ever flown. Too bad the company was bought and put out of...

Absolutely, met towers are dangerous. good for you for helping take them down! MTV

I bought a set of the smooth 8.50 x 10 tires, thinking I’d switch when these treaded tires are worn out. I may not live that long….. The smooth...

Ummmm, nope. Yes, Fairbanks has air quality issues, but only in winter, with hard inversions holding pollutants down low. Of course, the problem...

Actually, the tips of those blades are moving at in excess of 300 mph. The issue with birds is yes they can see the blades, but they LOOK like...

Denny, I believe the lightweight 10 inch wheel is approved only for the 35 Bushwheel. It’s a 8.5 x 10, not a 10 x 10. MTV

I am well aware of the FAA’s position and recent actions, thank you. Specifically where in his tome did he specify 100% disability? Did I miss...

Actually THAT is BS. There are disabilities, and then there are disabilities. The VA categorizes disability by percentages, and each type of...

Yes, sorry, they are McReary, sold by Desser. MTV

Cardiff, I like these 8.50 x 10. Primary reason they’re on this plane, however, is there is NO approvals for anything bigger than 7.00 on this...
