Not much info coming out of the STOL accident. Any more news?

Some of us live at 5000’+ and live with summer DA’s in the mid 8000’s in the summer every day. Best to learn to lean when appropriate.

My home airport is KHCR, renowned as one of the most disliked in the USA, but we have a great airport manager and he set up a parallel grass strip marked by cones several years ago. He is super GA...

Icing? Could have caused an event on the second approach. Just guessing, you guys know more then I will ever know

I had a USB/cigarette lighter unit, it created lots of noise when I used it to power my GoPro that had the plane audio hooked up. Maybe I was just unlucky

Here is an example of the noise: ...

Don’t bet on that, mine was supposed to ship Feb 28th, they are a least a month behind as mine might ship in the next couple of weeks. I think the experimental market is keeping them busy at the...

There is an old saying, “look out for the old guy who only owns one gun as he probably knows how to use it”

What is the best defense gun? Hands down a 12 ga.

My EDC is a 19+1 9mm with a red...

Carrying anytime is not about size, it’s about hitting the target

Might be a bit tough at the moment, although I am a lot closer ;) as this was from 2 months ago

Im not headed to Alaska anytime soon, but I do like looking at all the possibilities. Barrow is a bucket list destination for me

Hoping to have my build done by the end of the year

Does Alaska have a “content pack” like UBCP of non-FAA airstrips? FlyOZ also has a great backcountry pack, both load on Foreflight.
Here is an example of the UBCP content pack:

Pistons/compression

I had to give up 5 hp

L-R-Both fuel selector —-> gascolator —-> firewall —-> red or gold cube —-> carburetor

Is that what you’re asking? I’m a complete novice on engines!!! It’s a O-360 angle valve set up...

I will have a gravity fed system, when I called EI they told me to use the gold cube, but you guys are saying red cube for all

I have a 195hp O-360

Thoughts?

#mesquitelivesmatter :lol:

I’ll be saving $134.75 (based on current prices this week) per 55 gallon (full tanks) fill up

MoGas is a no brainer for me

I can live with the 5hp loss for my engine being built for MoGas
...

Mine is going on a 195hp Bearhawk Companion

Steve, any updates?

My 82” is ordered and should ship end of March, but I am looking forward to hearing about performance

I just had a O-360 angle valve 195hp engine built for me that is set up for 91UL. I’m not really a gear head so don’t know the compression ratio, but I could ask if you need to know.

I am proud of you for posting the story. I have a full video of a screw up I made in Idaho last fall. No metal got bent, but my ego was bruised for a long time! Short story, I had to make a go...

Great write up and thanks for sharing. I am sure your recap will help others down the road, so that is a great way to pay it forward.

As others have said, you will rebuild and make it better....

The part for the window arrived today, I should have photos tomorrow night.

Pete, when are you gonna post some progress photos?

Poor Dave :lol:

On another note, I think I found a better way to do the windows on the Companion.

You two are next to each other?
