Backcountry Pilot

Our Antique club in Boulder is restoring a side by side Taylorcraft with the help of supervised students. Since the plane was a basketcase(almost ready to fly now) there are no wooden strips with the...

The last few years, 175's came w/ CS props. In looking at GO-300's in 175's, I found prop tip backlash measurements from .375" to 1.5"

I brought a bunch of firewood last year, Lizard Lee wasn't there to chat with.

It will be interesting to see how crowded the hot springs are, just before Thanksgiving, I called the Inyo County Rd. Dept., they were working on the N road, not done yet, S road was worse than last year,...

Wasn't there here a collapsable sling seat for Cessna's here that was rather unobtrusive to anything in the back area?

Hey, come on, just because they are in the rust belt with no mountains, don't be so hord on them. They might come to their senses some day.

It would be a lot more attractive if fuel could be obtainable.

Don't forget, there's an AD on the 4 engine mounts-the part inside the airframe that the steel tube engine mount in the engine compartment attaches to, just behind the firewall, Cessna wants $1,000. for...

Many people who cannot tolerate the said politics, etc., w/ the land of fruits and nuts(CA), hop over the Sierra and land in the Carson Valley.

Last Nov. when I was there, there was a semi-official Ranger camped in a permanent dwelling, but he was on vacation, out of the valley, so I didn't get to meet him. It will be interesting to visit with...

58Skylane, The Saline Valley portion of the monument is not gated nor manned(womaned?). Only one car road in from the south, north, frequently not passable to cars(as like today) some other 4WD roads....
