Not to mention that step looks pretty high, must be a good stretch to get from the top of the float up onto it.
I have a bar mid way up the strut and a peg up higher to step onto when fueling.

after 40+ years of being in the cub in hip boots - usually canvas topped - I made the change to some SIMMS gortex pants and whatever shoe I want to wear. So much lighter, and easier. These come up...

Until you have spent a week at Denali high camp at 17,200 feet stuck in a winter storm and praying your tent holds together with 70mph+ winds, you really won't know what your tent will survive. For...

We have a c/s Hartzell on the cub, came off a cherokee 6 years ago and was cut down, rounded, cut some more, squared, rounded etc until it would spin up.

I have a little recorder, stores the last 15 seconds of whatever my headset hears. So a tower call, a transmission etc. Doesn't matter, it will store the last 15 seconds. Hit a button and it will...

Once you see one of those jacks slip and go through the wing you'll wonder why you didn't use a axle jack. Just make sure that base is on solid solid ground.
I now use a ratcheting jack with a bent...

Wow, that story of the missing 401 in Chulitna Pass got me. I have communication microwave sites through there and fly to them in R44's quite often. Sometimes we cruise along at 100 and sometimes...

They are still listed on their website. Select products then on the right side "fuel systems" and the header tank is right there.

When I was a kid, for about the time I was born to late HS my dad had a twin comanche with speed mods. As I was growing up he flew that all over the place, Anchorage to St Thomas and Nassau in the...

What should be coming is augmented reality vision

We are doing things like that with equipment now. Roll along a area late in the summer when you can take high resolution video with GPS...

No wing struts, looks like a 210

I had the Edo 2000's re-lacquered a couple of years ago. A guy in Wasilla did that work. He destroyed the fairings when he took them off. I got them back in a box but all torn up. I ordered...

Tell you what,, been parked on the south shore of Lake Spenard since 1985. I have watched thousands of ops on and off the water. It's almost never the float that is the performance factor. My...

Like I said earlier, this isn't anything new, it just got attention now because the video landed on social media this time. I'm sure many of us remember watching the video of Alice balling up her...

Heard a red and white cub went down over in the Pt McKenzie area last night about 7:30, two souls on board were transported to a Anch hospital. I don't know the severity but prayers non the less...

Marian Beck has been screwing around like this for years. This isn't the first incident. This time got a little traction because the video got posted and went viral. Her father, Clem Tillion was...

One of the owners or the Saltry in Halibut Cove.
There are other videos of this incident floating around.

By brother was involved in one of those ridiculous suits when he first went into practice. I don't recall the specifics but it named all 14 doctors in the practice even though he never saw the...

Everyone is different with their comfort level and life situation. For me, I look at how a loss will impact my life. I am at the point where the material loss of a plane would be a aww shucks event...

525 feet is close, but Dominics 180 was much closer at the end of the finger. 77AV. Glad his wasn't involved.

Not disagreeing with any of the recent comments but as a student on a x-c if I remember right, I had to be signed off and the instructor wanted to be involved in all go/no go decisions.
Unless this...
