When you do the Kenmore Kit, you need a non-linear rudder centering system. If you had an old model rudder centering system and the aileron rudder interconnect these needed to be removed. I am needing the cable and springs and clamps for the aileron rudder interconnect. If you have these...

Hey all, Was just headed out to the hangar to put on the skis and was thinking back to the great weather we had this summer for our Alaska trip. My wife took several thousand photos and managed to narrow it down to a few hundred to share with folks. Here is the link if you had some time to...

From Boise spent a couple great days at Moose Creek then on into Canada. Tried the abandoned rail route from Fort St. James, but got turned back when the ceilings went to ground. Made it up the Cassiar with a nice stop overnight in Stewart, BC. From Dease Lake jumped over to the Inklin and...

The wife and kids and I are headed out late May to early July. I have the Alaska Airmen's Logbook. I have read many previous trip reports and requests for information here and on the Backcountry Pilots site and will be talking further with some pilots who have made the trek. The Canadian and...

I posted this on the skywagon forum too, but as this tends to be an awfully active forum with lots of Skywagon drivers I'd thought I'd ask. I continue my search for a 180 and am keen on using it for float ops and as such have been looking for Auto gas capable planes. Was wondering if there is...

So I'm off floats and now on the skis and having a blast! I am wondering if anyone has had an 80" prop on a spring geared 7GCBC. My additional problem is that the Aeroskis' I'm on require 6" tires. Just looking for a little more git up'n go in the deep snow - not that there's been much of...

Hey all, I have searched the archives without luck, so... My dual exhaust '72 GCBC has a leak where the exhaust manifold slides into the muffler. At this joint, there is a two piece circular clamp with a stud that maintains alignment. When leak checking the exhaust system, this is the only...

Hey Dano and others who fly with kids, I have also been wanting to continue with flying my daughter around now that the plane is on floats. She gets so excited about flying that at 23 months old she runs into the hangar and, BY HERSELF, pulls the pin out of the hangar door and PUSHES open...

The Mixture control on the spam can has been slowly spinning counter clockwise on me after I lean at altitude. The first time or two that it happened, I did a double take as I knew I hadn't leaned THAT much. No movement when it's closed down tight in the full rich position. Without ever...

I'm looking for a set of wheel penetration skis for my Citabria. Operating out of Boise where the snow never stays. I would appreciate any insight from the group on these thoughts as well as leads on any available skis for sale. I was considering the Schneider 4000's as top on the list...

My transponder started acting up in that it does not reply to the radar interrogation. The unit powers on just fine and the ident light will show when I turn it on or hit the ident button. However, even with ident, tower states they are getting no indication/reply. As with many older planes, my...
