I believe the engine on the R-44 is connected to the transmission via drive belts. MTV

Exactly. I owned a 79 Super Cub that I put on Gar Aero adapters and 8.50 X 10 tires like this is equipped with. I have never heard of anyone...

I don't think that's a standard 185 part, but I've not flown every model year either..... MTV

Yes, and an open bifold door doesn’t like a lot of rotor wash, I’m guessing. Just dumb on several levels...one of which was videoing it. But I’d...

Watch the video, it clearly shows where the rotor hit the door. Duh. Why you’d leave a hangar door open with a helicopter lifting off even close is...

Interesting. The gent I spoke with, as I was experiencing similar problems never suggested I shouldn’t fly the airplane. The instruction not to fly...

Actually, with that attitude, I’d suggest you get started on the restoration yourself. That way, you won’t have to transport it, and won’t have...

Yeah, happy to see this storm head your way.....six inches of nasty wet stuff overnight (second snow of the season) and 15 degrees now (8:00 AM). ...

I'm pretty sure that a B-17 with that light loading should have been quite able to fly away on three engines. Judging from the fact that they were...

And, the ratio between liability and combined hull/liability is the same between what you noted and what Steve noted......The only difference is each...

Dang overachievers......;-) :-P MTV

Yes, that supposed 15% over gross thing for Alaska has been a fairy tale for many years. MTV

Stewart, I insured with AVEMCO in Alaska till I started instructing. I never carried hull, because rates were so high, but I always checked,...

The best argument I’ve heard! MTV

I’ve flown several cubs with three notches of flaps. I found that I never used the first (10 or 15 degree) notch. I think Piper got that right....

Then why is it that hull coverage is the one that takes the big jump? For years, I instructed in my airplane. I always carried liability, but never...

Good to see Jay has adopted the late model Husky Lower door shape. Makes entry/exit a LOT easier for us less flexible types. Nice workmanship on...

Float insurance has always been higher than wheels, in my experience. A loss on floats is often a really expensive recovery/loss. Taildraggers...
