Hydraulics shops use JIC fittings because they’re steel. AN fittings are aluminum. I order AN3 or 4 and get steel fittings on the hoses. I’ve had no...

I just ran a sample W&B. If I’m sitting up front, I have 75# of gear in the second seat, 30 gallons of gas, and 500# in cargo? I’m a couple of inches...

Installing slats moves the aft CG limit 1”. This airplane likes weight aft. I keep about 50# of stuff shoved all the way back to make it more...

The thing that tipped the scales for myself when I had the same questions as Johnny. Never mind that it lands so slow.

He must not have very good Cub drivers around. I can get my 180 in and out of places Cubs won’t go in certain conditions, but to make that a blanket...

Any time. I’m sure with a phone call we can go see a Mackey SQ-12 under construction, too.

So now there are two of us who own what we recommend! Attributes I’m unwilling to compromise on- TK-1 suspension Keller flaps Backcountry...

Backcountry Rev. Performance, space, useful load, huge cargo door.

Cabin life. Waist deep snow. When the chore of getting sleds unstuck is finished and walking is required? My 36” Atlas shoes cruised easily across...

My happy place. But mine’s a toy box, not a tool for work. I have a big shop and no desire to hang out there. Big difference and perhaps a factor to...

I’d much rather have wood frame than a metal building. I had a hard time convincing my insurer to cover my metal shop building in Bryan. Apparently...

My question was specific to strobes since a previous poster asked about it. I didn’t synch my Orion strobes because it wasn’t worth pulling a wire to...

There’s no point in long range recognition. It’s just a distraction that takes your eyes away from what’s more important. I need to see planes on a...

What’s the point in synchronizing strobe lights? Does anyone think it improves visibility? Has anyone seen any data that one brand of LED strobe has...

From the perspective of a Skywagon guy..... 29" Air Hawks on 10" ABW wheels can be run pretty low on pressure with ABW's improved bead. Not Bushwheel...

Do you mean 29" Air Hawks?

Interesting that yours are 6# lighter than mine in the pic on the previous page of this thread.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. I'd think MGL could diagnose your problem from your description. Side story- I was struggling with a function...

I know several folks who were affected by the weather last week and some lost mist of what they owned. None has asked for anything. Your comment is...

Wife face timed this evening as she got back to TX. 75* and lovely on the back porch. Texas winter. Still cold and slick here in AK!

My Atlas shoes work great. Too great for current conditions!

Funny you say that. I'm thinking of buying some smaller, more maneuverable shoes this week. The snow in the valley this year is layers of snow and...

I don’t understand your EFIS display in the pics. What MP are you seeing?

I’ll admit I’m curious about your prop. Very interesting.

My house and the daughter’s house did fine. Not a single issue between us. Our offices didn’t fare so well. Somebody turned the water off at the...

What cruise speeds are you seeing?
