Practice and you can dump them petty quick. Having worked on a hydraulic flap dump system that got stock was an eye opener. Yu could pull the flaps but you couldn't dump them. Fixed with a few o'rings but would be a bad day if you need to get rid of them.The hydraulic flap system has been removed, and replaced with a standard handle now. I am curious what it would have been like with that system. I am flying into a lot of short stuff with it, and can see how the the dump button would have been nice.
A common misconception. There are many of all financial means who play this game. All it takes is a desire.the game of rich men. Crazy

My first wife drove me to drink. I never thanked her for that.3 of us took our wives bar hopping yeasterday. They took the "bar hopping" seriously and made Mimosa's. Two of them are pilots as well so we became the designated pilots. 8)

My airplane cost less than any of my neighbors cars....... It’s all about choices, and the freedom to make the ones you want to. And besides, even if some on here are “rich”, good for them. I’m kinda tired of people slamming those who have worked hard, found a career that’s fulfilling and pays well, and now enjoy what they’ve earned. I’ve been on my own since I was 15, couldn’t afford college, worked multiple jobs to pay for an aviation education and ended up doing well with my career. I don’t feel the need to apologize to anyone. Sorry for the rant, I’m done now.
That's good news. That is the only DC-3 I have ever flown in, off and on the water! A memorable ride.Flew up to Greenville to check out the status of Folsom's DC3 on amphibs. It hasn't flown in several years but they are making great progress getting it airworthy again. One could say that the Cub Special in this picture really makes the shot.

Nice Tom! I heard rumors that you picked up some floats, glad to see they were true!
They are so much damn fun. They will be going on early next year and stay on the airplane all summer.
