MN Flyer magazine 12 2020:

The Holiday Season is a time to reflect on the past and to take time to put things into perspective, and to celebrate life, friends and family. It is also a...

I don't know, Glenn, but it is surely possible. Tom is very methodical and thorough. The fact that there were no noticeable "exhaust stains" near the defect makes me think it to be a very recent...

Thanks for this note. I assume this explanation also applies for why the back seat is relatively cold. I modified a blanket that extends from the aft top of the cockpit down and behind the rear...

Mike, this is a really important point. I cringe when I see some folks (particularly when they are giving kids rides) do the big pull-up on takeoff. Thanks for pointing this out!

By the way, the Sutton's are a real joy to work with. It is a great family operation, and they have always been very receptive to my calls and questions.

I'm going to call them today and order...

Glenn, thank YOU for your advice on rigging the skis. I appreciate your expertise very much!

I don't think so, but didn't take a chance....I rebuilt all the cables! Learned about swaging stainless steel cables...despite what Aircraft Spruce says, one needs to use tin plated sleeves on...

Recently Julie and I were flying the CT210 down to southwest MN on Christmas Day to see the grandkids and when we took off we both heard a clicking sound coming from the right side of the instrument...

In November of 2019 Grant Wallace was kind enough to install the Sutton exhaust system in Santa's PA18. Shortly after that we installed the Federal 2200 hydraulic skis, just as we have for many...

I just spoke to Jason at Atlee's and am glad I did.

It may be just blissful luck that I haven't had any problems with the skis since putting on the extended gear. He encouraged me to re-rig the...

I am replacing the springs on my Federal 2200 hydraulic skis and need to make up new cables that go from the spring to the toe of the skis. I discovered that I did not make any adjustment when we...

Crash, Jr, and all...thanks for the responses. Very helpful.

I was unaware of the problem with autogas and the seams...that would be a problem.

Thanks!

I am considering purchasing fuel bags and am looking at Airframes AK website and see their "Liquid Containment Bag"...I assume it will carry fuel. Does anyone have an estimate as to the quantity of...

You da best Cloudy! Da very best!

Agree with Ted, Bill. Inspiring, instructional, heart-warming...it just doesn't get better than your presentation. Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for all you do to make dreams come true for...

There are so many parallels with what you folks describe and what I do professionally.

I remember how badly I felt when I had just completed my fellowship and had a patient request records to be...

Wish it worked that way in medicine...

Way to go, Henny! Happy to hear that you checked that box. Wow, that time went fast! Congratulations!

I have been a fan of Bold Method website (www.boldmethods.com)...they are very good with offering insights aimed at improving our flying skills...but...

Tonight I watched a video of how to make a...

I remember when Mick Capouch came to New Holstein for the first time with his wife, Rose, and they were sportin' bushwheels. When asked how she liked them she replied "Landing with those Bushwheels...

Thanks to you folks for joining in. I hope that some useful information was gained. If nothing else, you were likely able to get in an hour nap!

Simply insert this between the right side of the cabin and the rudder cable. Works great. I put pencil, kneeboard, etc in it. Would easily...

Thanks for the suggestion to check with courierguy, Stewart. I had missed his previous post, which I reference above. He also responded to me with further explanation.

It was my plan,...

Care to elaborate, Mike? I would appreciate something more than a discredit for what appears to be a safe and appropriate design. Wimpy? Look at the specs on the round hardware. The math I see...
