I’ve flown a Super Cub home with a broken tie wire. Not a huge deal, really. He could easily have broken something in the float rigging with that...

A float brace wire wasn't what that "caused" that accident. May have happened during the course of that process, but not what caused it. Once...

EZ Heat glues to the oil pan. Buy an insulated engine cover, plug in the night before, good to go in the AM, full engine heated. Or, buy one of...

Woke up to -18 or so, -10 now, just got done 3 miles with the pup. Nice spring weather! MTV

Simple answer to that last question: NO. Ive owned both at various times, and they are both great airplanes, no doubt. But, for utility, useful...

This is being heard in Federal court. So, maybe we should cut the Troopers a little slack...... And, by the way, in this case, it's obvious they...

Steve Harvey in Kodiak likely has more time in Widgeons than anyone in history. He’s been flying “Grumman 481” in air taxi for many decades…..in...

Good catch on the flaps.....I never even looked at them.....I just assume that everyone uses flaps for takeoff on water. One of my favorites...

As I recall, the SCAN Widgeons weren’t corrosion proofed during construction, is that correct, Pete? MTV

This conference is always a great one. It was the inspiration for the Great MN Aviation Gathering, and one that is unique in that it is held...

Good Addition, Bill, thanks! See you all at the Conference. MTV

Boy do I know that feeling! Ouch! MTV

Call these folks: https://alaskawingcovers.com/aircraft-engine-covers/ my preference for something like a Cub is a FAIRLY lightweight insulated...

There is a nice tribute to this gentleman on the inside cover of the 2023 Supercub.org calendar!

Here’s a small start: a link to the website of Norman’s company: https://www.aaon.com/ MTV

Okay, I'll say it......maybe tell him to lose a bit of weight???? Holy cats! MTV

Makes it harder to shoot things....just sayin. MTV

Just as a comment/recommendation: Belts and harnesses do "age", and the process is accelerated by exposure to UV light. Frankly, the few dollars...

Those floats are kind of water lovers, frankly. LOTS of bottom area to reach out and shake hands with the water. I flew a Moose with a Vedenyev...

I edited to correct my earlier post to include the gross weight of the 206 on Wip 4000 floats, with an IO 550, producing 300 hp: 3800 pounds. ...
