I spoke to them yesterday at Sun n Fun.

Yes, they are still working with Canada to develop reciprocity. Like anything with government, it takes time

I think it’s likely like insurance. Nobody will care till something bad happens.

Dave, it depends on context. “Controlled airspace” is generally A,B,C, D, and E airspace. Unless one of thos categories goes to the surface, anything below is “G” airspace, which is defined as...

No Basic Med through Canada.

CC stated in one of their online ads that the airplane was of this new “flavor”. Their words not mine.

Here’s the quote from their FB page:

“CubCrafters announced the new Carbon Cub UL at...

That’s the airplane that landed on the helipad in the Middle East.

I believe that mod adds bladders, rather than a hard tank. Is that your understanding? If it were a hard tank, you’d have to open up the top wing skins. We had bladders outboard on a late 206, by...

I suspect that tank in the baggage compartment would somewhat defeat some of the utility of the extended baggage. And make access to stuff back there harder.

Heck, Charlie Warbelow once flew a Cub from Great Falls to Tok in ONE day.....well, actually, I think he slopped over into the next day enroute. Great story.....needed to show a company a Cub for a...

Trying to avoid the concept of casting stones, George. We all make mistakes, I certainly have made a few. Also, if you sump a tank immediately after filling it, you may not get ALL the water out of...

Yes,

Pete,

I experimented with pumping from both tips to both mains in my 170 at a safe height, and didn't seen any issues. I called Flint at one point, and asked the question. They said FAA was...

Look at a photo with flaps deployed.....

I'm 5 feet 8 inches, if I secure the seat belt and shoulder harness as tight as they should be, my head isn't likely going to hit the wing root. But, that...

In my experience, expecting to do that in five days is reasonable. But, nobody ever suggested that the weather is necessarily “reasonable”. That is arguably a good season to do the trip, though. ...

I had the internal Flint tip tanks installed on my O-360 powered C-170B. The only other option for that airplane at the time was the baggage compartment tank, which was also approved for the early...

Well, you’d better plan on wearing a helmet EVERY time you fly. That handle could do some serious damage to your face in an accident. I agree on ergonomics, but safety trumps ergonomics in my...

Like many wildlife species, they can be very friendly, especially if acclimated to people--right up till they kick the **** out of you. As winter progresses, they get grumpier, just like us.

And,...

Pretty much the same thing Airguide described. With the short lever, when you're trying to dump flaps from full flaps, getting the little bugger to turn loose can require a REALLY hard pull, and the...

And, by the same token, try selling something these days.....lots of Looky-loos out there, who'll waste your time and band width.

I've flown two different Cubs with stock flaps and the shortened handle, and hated both. No way I'd do that to a perfectly good airplane.

A high time C-46 guy told me always thinks “Drive it into the ditch” for aileron use in crosswinds.

The “EZ-Flap” thing went sideways when the guy who designed it claimed that Cessnas and Pipers...

And this relates to the current discussion how?

I don’t like ANYthing that close to my head, helmet or no.

I just finished reading Corwin “Corky” Meyer’s recollection of his career as an Experimental Test Pilot for Grumman. For perspective, he started his career with Grumman in 1942. His first flight...
