Thanks, and congratulations on your good-looking Taylorcraft! As you probably saw, mine was 29873, and was a 1941 BC12D. From the logs it seemed that it started out as a WWII trainer. I'm sorry to say that after I sold it it was damaged in a wind storm and I very much doubt that it was ever...
You could apply this thread title to a lot of things, but here it refers to BCP. In huge measure, BCP is a special place due to the site moderation. Or more accurately, cultivating a community where moderation...
Was thinking about the latest iPhone (14) feature that is supposed to send an emergency alert in the event of a driving accident. Guessing that it 1) requires cellular service, 2) might be integrated with...
Zane thanks for the incentive to go re-take that photo with the new 180HP, MT, Sportsman, engine-driven vacuum, custom cowling and cleaned-up antennas!
Hi- my camera isn't the latest or greatest- it's a Pilot HD360, but like I said, the price was right! I'd appreciate any tips specific to its use, but I also figured a general update on the advent of 360-degree cameras might benefit a range of BCP users. Thanks.
I recently won a 360-degree video camera as a door prize at an event. These seem to be increasingly available and popular in GA applications. I'd welcome an update to this article that covers them, if anyone were to do so. Thanks.
Thoroughly enjoyed your images and write-up. I've only dabbled around Tebay- It's beautiful, but barely scratches the surface of the region. For any who might be interested in more of the flying history of the region, Alaska's Skyboys delves into it. Thanks!
Wondering if anybody else here regularly flies backcountry with a pulse oximeter. There have been times I have thought it would be useful to have one in flight. When Draco was at the Great Alaska Aviation...
Looking for help from the braintrust here: If you flew into a wooded or mountainous location with friends and split up to explore for an afternoon, what would be your 2-way hand-held radio of choice for...
Removed from my 170B for recent upgrades. Working flawlessly at time of removal, and during the entire time I've owned them. Radio was bought new. GPS was bought from a fellow BCP'er. Includes accessories...
I thought I'd share some avionics upgrades that are in the works. I've been tire-kicking some of this stuff for a while, and it just sort of all came together this winter. The patient is a VFR C-170B...
denalipilotCrowley in Galena confirmed availability of 100LL from a truck on the field. They said to call their Anchorage dispatch with an ETA to have the driver ready. 907-656-1852. Bettles Lodge confirmed good quantity of 100LL as of today. Thanks!
