Hi All,
Relatively new member - looking for insight.
At a point in life where I can seriously consider aircraft ownership. I live in central Maine and all the weather that goes with the location. Eventually, would like to have a small hangar on a grass/ski strip, but in the interim, how realistic is it to consider purchase of a Supercub to keep outside for a year or two until I can work things out on a hanger location etc. I would like to fly it thru all seasons with floats, wheel and skis dependent on season. My concern is the fabric / maintenance / general wear and tear. I keep thinking -"hell, they do this year'round in Alaska" So, reasonable or not?
Thanks for all/any input!
Cheers!
Dave
