Backcountry Pilot

I’ve been beating up the internet for many hours and am skunked. I need to replace one or both of the extended range bladders on my G model. The replacement bladders (1200065-5&6 I think) are 22 weeks...

I’m curious what criteria you experienced pilots use to dropping back to VA for turbulence. Defining turbulence is pretty subjective and I’m curious if anybody has a working definition.

Just wanted to brag on EI a little. I just drained and refilled my C-182 tanks for the third time since installing my much loved MVP-50. All three times I have measured the fuel back in, 5 gallons at a...

Looking for a 430W. Hate touch screens! I’m hoping someone who is trading in their old unit on a new install will work a deal with me. Not in a hurry. Text contact is best, 360-333-1240 Thanks Chris...

Getting close to shooting paint. I’ve been fairly successful painting other planes with automotive paints. This time I settled in Ranthane because I had very good luck shooting it on some small but difficult...

We are in the process of sorting out the Sportsman STOL kit parts and pieces. My 182G has flap gap seals already installed. Stene recommends removing them. Has anybody installed a Sportsman with flap...

My Motor, an O470R, was one of the counter weight MSB/AD motors. We just got the cylinder off today and found the suspect clips in place and oriented correctly. The only things left to do before putting...

The hangar has been turned into a strip club but the only curves being exposed are those of a 60 year old 182. Does anybody have a good system for getting around the rivets? I’m putting on paste stripper...

McFarlane MCS1222-6s throttle cable. Fits C182 E, F & G. Bought new in 2021, has ~12 hours on it. New alternator bracket service kit requires a different cable. Paid ~$600. Have receipts. Sell $200 to...

I’m replacing the windows in the 182 and looking for opinions on green or gray tint, or clear. I can’t honestly say I’ve ever really noticed tinting or lack of tinting in any of the aircraft I’ve flown....

Working towards hanging the new motor on my SPW mount. The front Lord Mounts seem perfect but the aft mounts are weird. The spacer for the middle, between the top and bottom halves, is quite a bit shorter...

I have a factory overhauled motor ready to install in my 182. The old alternator mount used one of the case through bolts as an attach point and I am really not liking the idea of using that same attach...

Am curious what sources others use for gate and bathroom codes at unfamiliar airports. I checked the chart supplement and couldn’t find them there.

There is an amazing opportunity to pick up a sweet Forest Service 185 on the Government auction site GSAauctions.gov. I spent an hour on the phone with guy who’s been flying it and it has all the bells...

Over the past week, I've put a lot of effort into calling the Alaska Airmen Association to try and buy raffle tickets. No call backs and the only time I'be gotten through the "system was down". Ticket...
