I am crying!!! Right now I am selling my beloved cub. It is at Dan's in Anchorage
I had so much fun but I lost the enthusiasm. If you pay a lot of money to keep it in flying condition and fly it a max of 10-15 hrs a year. My knees are not as they were years ago. When I'll camp and sit down...
Hi friends. I am happy to have the Attlee Dodge tanks. Since than I never ran short on fuel accidentaly. I guess I never could have made my long flight through the arctic Canada 2008
When I flew 2008 from Canada to the Atlantic crosscountry through the canadian arctic, I had an Iridium Satphone. It was my backbone doing this magnificance trip
My experience with winterflying in remote aeras in deep snow: When you are down taxy several times up and down to make a "runway". And think about the skis freeze over night to the ground. Even some little twigs help you next day to go
I would ferry it myself. With such a little Bomber you'll have a lott of fun and adventures. I flew 2008 through Canada with my little Cub. It was an adventure of a life
Well friends! Survivalgear does not contain only camping gear. What is you are going down land safe on a gravel or something else and need only a srew, a peace of wire or else. Had that kind of occasion not only once. And I was happy not only having a nice camp but also could repair and fly out...
Do it!
I flew 2008 from Fairbanks Alaska to New Foundland and had the 2000# grosweightincrease. I was realy happy. How offen did I fiy overgross becouse of the fuel I needed. Canadaa is huge. Same in Alaska. I flew FAI to the north east Colleen River and back. Needed because of bad weather back...
I wonder: About 30 years ago there used to be an outfit in AK they resurfaced the ballonies with rubberbandages. My 26"ers started showing material. So I send them to that outfit. They very nicely glued rubberpieces arround the surface. I ran them until I bought my 31"ers. The abrasion in that...
Well on a fishing trip I went fishing and a little damn blacky visited my camp: ripped open my tent and tried my right tire. So I had a flat tire with two punctures. I was glad to have a tube of wonder glue. I carved two little woodplugges and glued them in. In Namibia/Africa on my car I had a...
Well, look here in Supercub.org for "The wandering raven" and you'll find everithing you need for your voyage. I traveld the North of Canada 2008. 100LL is somtimes a hassel. So always ask for the Notams. But the Minister for Fuel in Nunavut decided: High octane avgas NO alkohol in it after...
When I got my cub 30 or so years ago I started to take 10# flowerbags and marked my landingplaces 360´ + 60' escape on an gravelbar. And exercised it 200-300 times a day, because I wanted to make bushflying. I am still doing it today when I starte the season. I was young better younger and took...
OK here is a question concerning the grossweight of a cub. I made 2008 a 10000mls long trip through Canada. My grossweight is legaly 2000# and I have Attlee Dodge tanks. To perform the very long flights in Canada I had to take extra fuel with me and exceeded very often my grossweight. I heard...
