    What to do in Alaska?

    So I've been planning this trip to Alaska... I've wanted to go for years. I thought of going to the May day fly-in, however, the timing is bad for this year. If I go to AK anyway, though, what would I do? Can anyone suggest some fun reason(s) to go up there? destinations, goals, any ideas are...

    Questions about travel to AK

    Can someone point me to a thread, book, discussion - anything! I'm looking for info about flying my Cub to AK. The questions I have are about the following: 1. Route(s) 2. Weather Issues - what to expect for spring and/or summer 3. Fuel - How hard is it to find AvGas up there? Should I pack...

    Tundra tires or skis?

    Apologies not necessary by any means, but the long answer does indeed help shed light on a subject that at once is obvious and not so obvious. One story I keep hearing is that when you have skis, you can get just as stuck in the snow - if it's deeper than you thought, you put down on it - won't...

    Tundra tires or skis?

    No, I'm asking for actual information, not affirmation or denial of an idea. Not sure why it's so hard to get see the difference...

    Tundra tires or skis?

    Seriously? you want to track my N# to see if I crash? that's so nice of you... I didn't say I don't have anywhere to land on skis - I live in wyoming on the border of idaho - there's plenty of room around here, but to my knowledge, no dedicated strips - I would have to take a chance and land...

    Tundra tires or skis?

    I beg to differ. There are plenty of replies that imply that if those asking "knew better" they would not have asked. I'm specifically reacting to #26: "...a person who would ask the initial question asked in this thread is not the person who should be evaluating whether a snowy LZ is safe for...

    Tundra tires or skis?

    Bought some 31s. Will have them in January. I don't have a ski instructor around here, and I don't know where to land with skis anyway, but I do have plenty of places I can land with 31" tires... I'll stay off the snow for the meanwhile, and if I can afford skis next year and can find some place...

    Tundra tires or skis?

    You know, it's funny about this forum - there are those that can answer a question straight, and those that think that every question is a soap box from where they can pontificate... it's near impossible to ask a question here without the latter chiming in with warnings and doomsday scenarios...

    Tundra tires or skis?

    I found where I got the idea of 35" on a 6" wheel: http://www.akbushwheel.com/index.php?option=com_rokquickcart&view=rokquickcart&Itemid=58 Tires listed on the AK Bushwheel store: 35”x15”x6” (PN: 351510.R1) - $3750.00/pair 35"x15"x10" (PN: 351510.R) - $4450.00/pair

    Tundra tires or skis?

    I stand corrected - I saw 35x6 somewhere, but it must have been in my dreams because I can't find it now! in any case, I think 31" tires are more then adequate for my use based on everything I'm hearing here. These will be going on a Carbon Cub Kit, with a 180+ hp engine. Thanks to all of you...

    Tundra tires or skis?

    The 35" tires come in two wheel sizes - 6" or 10". I assume the 6" is the same 6" wheel I already have.

    Tundra tires or skis?

    I do have one more question, given how helpful you've been. The cost difference between 31 and 35" tires is small, should I go 35"? Wouldn't the bigger tire allow more landing choices? Thanks again, Gal Bar-or

    Tundra tires or skis?

    Hi all, I have a >>very<< limited budget, and can afford to buy EITHER skis or bushwheels - AK bushwheels, 31". Since I don't expect to be landing on snow the rest of the year, I was wondering if I spent my money on bushwheels, can I land on snow with those? I understand, in my limited...

    I'd take any issues at all, but especially the ones from 1998... I just think someone should make the resource available for other pilots. The subjects look great and still very timely!

    Like I thought I said in my first post, the backissue channels are all non-existent. When You try to get any, they are not in biz or have no issues. What I néed is an individual with copies he can lend or sell...
