Steve, there are no seat belt attach points in the baggage compartment, and the POH doesn’t suggest three seats, but the main baggage is listed at...

It was a rhetorical question, Stewart, not a challenge, MTV

Yep, that’s the story I was told as well. MTV

That’s what I thought when I read this thread as well: the 11 struts are different from the J 3 struts MTV

Do you have access to natural gas? MTV

I dunno, I’ve landed in winds I couldn’t safely taxi in, while running “oversized” tires (not 35 inch Bushwheels). Not fun, but mostly it’s an...

Bob, who said anything about landing both tires simultaneously in a crosswind? What you’re describing is initial spool up of the tire on the upwind...

Dave, It's a fire position, so an applicant has to show substantial fire fighting experience. I'm not too sure how anal the evaluators get about...

I'm not sure why that is the case, Bob. Personally, I much prefer Bushwheels in crosswinds, because they STICK where you plant them. It's really...

That argument was tried a while back, and FAA said nope, or Catto said not really, or? But anyway, the idea was shot down. But, seemed logical to...

Ah so, I’d forgotten about the wood propellers, thanks. MTV

For clarification, are you saying the ferry pilot removed the steering springs and reconnected with a solid cable? That’s a uniquely bad idea if so....

A 76 inch prop on a PA-11? Field approval, STC or ??? MTV

Snowed ten inches plus here on Saturday, and -10F this morning. I think I can put the lawn mower away.... MTV

I guess if all I did was fly in Bravo airspace, I might not care about compass accuracy. :rolleyes::rolleyes: MTV

Yukon Flats taught me the value of a good compass as well. MTV

b Buy a SIRS compass and mount it high in the windshield. Contrary to popular legend, it is possible to get an accurate compass in a Cub. MTV

Try using that in 2 miles or less visibility.....or in North Dakota, where section lines provide a straight line.....cept they run both North/South...

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
