  • It is my understanding of the regulations that our Stinsons can use just about any battery you want. These old planes general have a statement in the original paperwork some like 12V battery. It does not say anywhere in there that yo must use a Gill 35 or a Concorde or whatever, it only says a 12V battery.

  • I have talked to several people but have no commitment yet. Where did you cross the border? Any issues? Do you have the time to make the trip with me? Leaving around the 7th or so. Planning 3 - 5 days

    shorton I planned to cross at sweetgrass montana. I have everything except current medical. The plane has no transponder so I have to file for exemption waiver, but that requires me to list anyone who may be in plane on the waiver form.
