Yes, it was a difficult day for STOL, with a significant crosswind, as we were using runway 20. However, the pilots did a terrific job of...

The key to keeping a dH airplane flying is lowering the nose. In that video, as Stewart suggested, when the plane appears in the climb, he’s already...

When it comes to fasteners, be sure to consider the galvanic table. Put stainless in contact with aluminum, and IF there’s galvanic corrosion, the...

Jim, This definitely sounds like an impedance mismatch. Most aviation headsets are high impedance, while most non aviation stuff is low impedance....

Spelled Evert’s actually. Great outfit, this delivering 14,500 lbs of building materials to remote lake. MTV

And, of course one should understand that, certainly while carrying passengers for hire, or if you value your own hide, you should NOT be operating...

Would be interesting to know who was flying during the “hard landing”, but no way to know. Pretty bizarre accident in any case. MTV

I have run both Goodyears and Dessers/Airtracs on Cessna 185s. I found that, while the Goodyears cost a bit more, they outlasted the Dessers by...

Christmas is coming early this year! Check out what Santa has arranged for New Holstein!... ...

One other point: The FAA is woefully slow in issuing “permanent” certificates these days. So, it’s possible the gent had a “temporary” Private...

So, we can make a Carbon Cub that sells for, what? $600 K? MTV

Your best bet may be a speaker that someone has removed. If I could remove mine easily, you'd be welcome to it.....useless weight. That said,...

I just saw this thread. A gent from South Africa landed today in Bozeman due to thunderstorms on his route toward Sheridan. He’s moving the plane...

Hmmmm, would this be the former Canadian Bo Bennett, who was once an Olympic gymnast? If so, haven’t heard of or from him in a long time. Glad to...

Original PA-12 tanks were made from terne plate and joints were soldered, I believe. If those tanks didn’t leak, fine, but many that were removed...

Ice Cream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream! Almost every evening after we finish our exquisite dining experiences at the New Holstein...
