Mike,
8 lbs extra sound right over no tank in right side, but I am guessing it's really only a couple pounds over and 11 gal tank. Either

Did you ever get the 2000's on the old Cruiser? I am sure you found out you can't successfully use 18 struts on a 12.....( But God knows many have tryed) To be 100% legal on a certified airplane you...
Interesting no one mentioned how much they like Airstreaks! They bite right thru them. We figured out back in the 70's when
Cutters came out with 100% deet fly dope,
Spraying them down with that...

Anyone that thinks any of these penatration type skis, with rear mounted

Not sure what kinda true HP Steve's plane is creating in that Highlander but if acceleration ' out of the hole' is any indication it may be approaching 300!
His holeshot is amazing. But the fact he...
Just had a friend in Idaho get his Cub back from a two year restoration, that included the PSTOL flaps, he loves the plane now, and confirmed the lesser nose angle with them on final: but simply...
When the FAA came out with their new policy's to include "no more field approvals

Well first of all this corrosion condition on 73 year old 12 Airframes isn't going away.
Trying to decide weather to dive into a massive welding project or simply buy a new 4130 airframe is not...
