I've had my corbon cub about 6 months now looking forward to some summer flying.



Blu,

Are you involved with LK at Mack? If so hoping to see that bird in person some day. :mrgreen:

We were excited to heli in Silverton — until we saw the bird. Looking like something your stoner uncle built in the garage out of four Meccano sets, a fish tank, and an AMC Pacer, this helicopter seats a pilot plus two only, making it a tricky vehicle, logistics-wise, when your group has 8 people in it.

As of this morning, my new baby. 1961 172B. Just finished getting some dual time with an instructor to be safe. We loaded 140lbs of sand in the rear seats and 70lbs of sand in the baggage compartment to simulate carrying a passenger & gear. It handles a bit differently.


Awesome...glad I dont see any panties on her :lol:

Nice plane! Find a place to hanger it yet or is it still tied up out in the cold?

My fun buggies, a '53 C180, and a '55 cub. Would like to build an RV for a "I need to be there now" ride...

Rob,
Greg has done a little bit. The ground rigs had been taking care of everything, but after all the rain we had they should get some work. Sounds like they are going to be swamped this year. Jones got some additional acres already. Now if only I had enough hours I could do some spraying myself. :D

She came with panties but I like her bare much better and her small numbers.

She needs a serious bath and a dry place to keep her. I'm on a couple waiting lists and still need to make a couple calls. Still getting all the paperwork done (insurance, registration, etc.).

Re: Photo thread: Show Us Your Plane!

I've not posted before, but read many threads. So I thought I'd finally contribute and add a photo from across the pond. Group owned 1991 Maule MX-7-180.

Photo taken last winter.
