    I saw your post wondering what Idaho charges for the state license.
    They charge .03 cents/ # gross weight.
    So, if your Gross weight is 1250# like my BC12-D, the license is $37.50/ year.
    Have a great time this summer

  • Hi Whee,

    Great build thread. I noticed you were involved in a Stinson o-540 mount situation. Do you know what the tube sizes and thickness were?

    Thanks
    Marcus

    whee I didn’t have anything to do with a 540 mount. I designed my own TCM IO360 mount and got some pics of a 470 Stinson mount but that’s all.

  • Hi whee,
    I´m doing a u206f for flight simulator and I´m searching useful information about if it is "possible-logical-anything" fixing the lap belts ends to the seat rails… until now, the most close to this I got is your attempt to do something similar, posted here: FAA approved Carabiner? Shackle? My question is: do you succeed?
    Thanks in advance!

    Guinart Thanks very much by the answer Whee,
    Yes, it matters a lot for many developers (as I) and users... Many of my users are actual pilots, as you, other are aspirants or just enthusiast, but still most of them wants a replica of the real thing; and some are not much empathic with unprecedented arrangements. :)
    Thanks again!
