Well, flying does seem to get kinda sporty occasionally, at least based on a quick review of Youtube.... MTV

An electrical system is a real luxury. I had a no electric Cub for five or so years. Propping an airplane doesn’t scare me, but I’ll tell you, the...

You might be surprised. I'm at 4500ish and summer DAs are regularly well over 7000. I flew a Piper PA-11 out of here for five years and never...

It’d be interesting to see how that wing performs for short/soft field. It’s really pretty short. I understood why Randy shortened the wing,...

I wouldn’t go to extended gear. If you can get the 29 inch Airstreak field approved, I’d go there in a heartbeat. If not, probably 29 inch BW. ...

Frankly, I’m amazed the FAA let him keep his DPE. Instructing in an unairworthy plane, etc.... MTV

If you’re doing much off airport work, the Bushwheels are great. I’d stop right about there. MTV

Thanks to you folks for joining in. I hope that some useful information was gained. If nothing else, you were likely able to get in an hour nap! ...

Cracks can be and are welded all the time. Most recently I’ve used Acorn. MTV

Forecast is for below zero (F) temps for lows here this weekend. Trimmed the posies yesterday......and loaded the car for winter. MTV

Randy Rubbert can make yours like new. And better, actually. MTV

I agree with Web on the circuit breakers vs fuses in small aircraft. I've had circuit breakers trip, waited a few minutes after checking systems and...

Man, it seems crazy to me that Center is kicking you over to Approach that far out. That's a lot to ask of a low powered aircraft VHF radio. And,...

John, Yes, all 2005 model Huskys have the new wing, but all were A-1Bs. All Bs had a gross weight of 2000. The C model started in 2007 or...

John, The “new wing” Husky was introduced in 2005. It was a great improvement, and not just due to the elimination of the “airodynamic...

That is a GREAT looking interior! MTV

Kydex. MTV

When I was oerating a Beaver on amphibs and a Cud on straight floats in Kodiak, I was advised by our old timer Chief of Maintenance to apply lots of...

Yes, that inactivity for several years would be a huge red flag for me. Unless they did a good job of pickling that engine, you're likely going to...

Yup, paralketone is the best plan. Otherwise, nothing special. If you do get in salt, wash down with fresh water as soon as practical. MTV

Groan.... MTV

Stewart, The OP did specify any A-1 Huskys. Those started production in late 80s. Not $300 K airplanes. MTV
