    Good article. I just recently bought a 172 with an O-360 Pen Yen conversion and am in the process of installing the Airglas fork and 8.50 nose wheel. I am also going with the 26" Goodyear on the mains. I'm interest to see how this combination works out. The 172 will be my back-and-forth airplane

    I'll be up in your area (plan to anyway) early August. Would welcome the opportunity to bring you some beer (what kind?) and stop in to say hello! Ted SQ-2

    Excellent trip report. Wish you could have had better weather in the McCarthy area. It is usually quite good for back country flying. Looks like you had a good time exploring this great country.

  • Nizina created a new forum topic Mt. Bona - I think I need a GoPro
    I went flying off of Benard Glacier and turned up toward Mt. Bona and tried to capture the splendor with my hand held iphone -- crude. Mt Bona is a 16,600 peak in the St. Elias mountains here in Alaska. WXxaASHwSnU

    Two super cubs had a mid air in the Mat-Su, Ak airspace yesterday. Miraculously both planes were totaled, but the two pilots survived: Photos: http://www.adn.com/slideshow/photos-ntsb-investigates-airplane-collision-near-wasilla News...

  • Nizina added a new comment in Photo pilot: Six questions with Arturo Polo-Ena
    Very nice interview. Arturo has carved out a nice lifestyle to go along with his two passions and talents -- photography and backcountry flying. Our airstrip is just 15 miles away on the other side of McCall ridge on the Nizina River. I could learn a lot from him and hope to get acquainted. Eric

  • Nizina replied in forum topic Aircraft on Malaspina Glacier?
    Looks to be a twin, my best guess is that it is ACE Cargo in a 1900. I don't know about its size and it could be a twin, but it could also be a taildragger on its back. It is indeed a big glacier....

    ^^^^ Hand propping a little Cub on skis in snow is like on floats. No big deal. From behind and feet apart and as stable as possible, and with a good grip on the door frame with the left hand, use the...
