True dat…….and harder to detect. MTV

First, the term “missing logs” can imply different things. Is one entire logbook (as in “logbook number three of five”) missing, or is there simply...

Dang, Bob, that’s good intel! I’ll start working on that “look” right away, but my neighbors are lazier than me…. Stay warm! MTV

I saw that one earlier today. I’ve never seen a plane that badly balled up in a “landing accident”. Gotta be more to this story. Terrible deal in...

The 10 x 10 wheel is approved for 8.50 x 10 or 29 x 11 x 10 tires on the stc. The Desser smooth tire is listed as a “29 x 11 x 10” tire. To me,...

I was led to believe that the stock PA-11 landing gear was the same part number as the early SC gear. I had to verify that for installation of ABW...

Years ago, when I owned a 90 hp J-3 in Kodiak, I was in ANC and stopped at Atlee’s place to inquire about J-3 mods. I’d never met Atlee, but had...

I see on Airglas’ website that the attachments and welding are part of the sales price of a set of those skis. They obviously don’t want to be...

Im pretty sure Atlee had an STC to adapt the SC top deck to the J-3/PA-11, with early SC style wings. Atlee had a bunch (20 +, I recall) of STCs...

Wow! That company sure went downhill from the way it was when owned by Wes and Gary…..miss thipose guys. MTV

Never underestimate the raw skills of pilots doing stupid things in aircraft, you might be surprised. MTV

My 11 had a Super Cub seat, installed per the STC. It did indeed put my head pretty close to the spars up above. I'm 5 foot 8, and it didn't bother...

Flying floats teaches you mighty quick two things: 1. Never lay a gas cap on a wing while fueling 2. Always carry a spare in the plane. Been...
