Jim just handed me the stick this morning. Trust me, you aren't going to break that thing with any force that won't destroy the...

This ^^^ Unless someone has field approved it, VGs under the tail AND the strake are not legal. Someone may have installed parts of both kits,...

The Montana floats are great performing floats, and that’s a nice price for amphibs. MTV

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...

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...
