Backcountry Pilot

I bought this for a Zenith CH701 I was building. I'm no longer flying and the 701 was sold. Brand new in box. I don't remember how to use image code. Ping for photo. $500.00 shipped USA only....

I am sad to relate to all that knew him that Holger "Jorgy" Jorgensen passed away from complications of a flu like illness on April 4th at the hospital in Fairbanks. He was tested for Covid-19 but the...

Man you can see this coming. wWrG3_YqGZc

This is quite the software isn't it? I was so grateful to find that the manual had only 334 pages. I was fearful in the extreme that it might be a long one. Like, maybe, 334 pages or so. I'm not very...

When I am shopping for a new ride the very first thing I do is look up the N number on the FAA's search database. Sellers frequently do everything they can to obscure the N number in photographs and descriptions...

Jorgy, legendary Alaska bush pilot, for those who know him, just turned 91 years. Still kicking. Still telling tales. https://i.imgur.com/9MobyEk.jpg On his birthday just about to blow out the...

Well: Terms and conditions agreed to. Price settled. Inspection and transfer of cash to be arranged. Not a project. Registration screwed up yes I know. I talked to the feds on Wednesday. Title not...

I'm looking at a PA-11 clear across the country from my location and I don't want to make a mistake here. Last airplane I bought was a Luscombe that I felt ultimately didn't fulfill my expectations and...

I know many of you have been frothing at the mouth to get ahold of some of our rare and interesting land here in the great state of Nevada. Well here's your chance. Many wonderful homes and homesites...

I've got three wrist bands for all week with pit passes. PM me. Dan

Changing plans. I'm fixing to sell the CH701 kit and am better than 50% sure it will go this weekend. I'm going to buy an already built airplane from somebody someplace. There is a Rans S6ES...

I think I'll just go ahead any order that Super STOL stretch tomorrow anyhow. At least I'll have a way to get off the planet before it's too late. I mean, who gives a you know? The bank will just have...

Probably not many interested in this but here goes anyway. I've got a foot, measured, of brand new snow deposited in my yard over-night. Elevation here is about 4600' MSL. It's still snowing. Rain...

I once heard from a US Naval Flight Surgeon that it was highly recommended, and even perhaps absolutely necessary, to suppress or remove all brain cognitive function from the heads of helicopter pilots....

I'm watching "Cloudstreets" on PBS in Reno at the moment. Great film about long distance soaring in the "Great Basin". It will probably show up on PBS stations elsewhere from time to time. Well worth...

I think it's a little late to dig up the old coffee thread. So I'll just mention here a new discovery. Coffee is like wine I think. You know, the right weather during the growing of the beans, the...

I'll be posting most of the details of this engine change and airframe refresh on another forum but I thought I'd share the invoice for my engine build. It's not any more than a junk yard motor with logs...
