Backcountry Pilot

WTB: The local Flying club is looking to replace the straight skis on their Cub. If anyone has any they are not using, or know of some for sale, please let me know. Thank you.

Think this is what I need for those pesky wolves. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=SNPJMk2fgJU

It looks like a great place for someone to rent or learn to fly. Steve

Over regulation has to be a big factor in airplane values. The cost to the manufacturer to get parts/airplanes certified, is ridicules, that is passed on to the consumer which is not allowed to use uncertified...

We have a prop hanging in our hallway. Were lucky enough to have one donated to us from friend in Alberta, it came out of his father-in-laws barn who were not airplane people. They said there is the...
