    I like the pictures of the experimental Stinson you posted. Do you know where it is located and/or how to get in contact with the owner? I have a bunch of Stinson parts and am interested in building an experimental.

    Thanks,

    Russ

    Hi Shane, I really enjoyed your writeup on your sheep hunt. I too have a 47 Stinson and I am planning to go sheep hunting in it with my son. Did you ever get a sheep? Thanks, Russ

    Does anyone on this forum have any experience with beech landings on Kodiak Island? I'd like to go there on a deer hunt next fall. I've heard you can do it but don't know any specifics about exactly...
