You’re getting into the rainy season in the amazon. Weather could be more of a problem. Then there’s the Amazon low, a year-round E-W front, moving N and S, stretching from ground level to 35K, that must be taken into account. If possible follow rivers, bring a pack raft: your best chance @...

Here’s a couple of pics from a trip in a PA-16 thru S.America in the 70’s: Seattle, NY, Florida, over the islands to Venezuela, Angel Falls, Columbia, down the West Coast etc. on to Punta Arenas, where I got permission from Chilean navy to stop at Puerto Williams (1st pic) to add some fuel, fly...

Who does reasonable back-hauls? About how much for a set of 2000's? Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

got lucky in PADL on Sunday w/ my 14 in a moderate NE blow (steady 35, gusts peaking @ 49kn. Checked my lines and a Claw 2 feet back from tail, chocks on the wheels. Seemed like it was blowing harder, so back to airport to check again; found the plane turned sideways! The transient tie-down...

Whenever plane is out and unattended, I have gust locks on ailerons and flaps (4) and (1) on elevator/horizontal stab; normally leave the stick alone (neutral). It's a PA-14, so fore & aft seat belts holding it neutral, would be my choice, but maybe try some combination with Velcro to seat and...

I use a foam+plywood gust lock on elevator/horizontal stabilizer, but what's the best solution for the rudder/vertical stabilizer on a cub or none at all? Tail wheel springs enough to dampen a violent gust? Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org

Do u use a lock on a balanced Cub rudder or just let tail-wheel springs handle side/tail winds?

Thanks, Mike and Randy for ur response. Fishing in BBay. When it slows down, I'll be off. From fishing in Norton Sound, I'm familiar with the coast up to Nome, having flown around with my herring spotter pilots. Aniak has fuel, I think; plane holds 60ga + 3 bags. My goal is to explore the...

Anyone flying coast Dillingham to Nome with stops along the way, arrive Serpentine H.S.? Then north, tips & strips w/lat-long? Driving a PA-14. Thanks,pfm 1423P, new to the north.

How tough was it to install the GRT magnetometer,any tips or pics? What did u install it in? I've got a PA-14. Sent from my iPad using SuperCub.Org mobile app

Anyone have experience with G-5, D-2 or the GRT Mini-GA, Mini-X. I like that it has terrain and an optional magnetometer. I'm driving a pa-14, all electric, no AH or gyrocompass. Have Foreflight on a Mini I-pad w/ Stratus 2-S ( Appareo is in the future) and two empty holes infront of me...
