Hello all. Long time lurker from the great, white, north here. Just wanted to show how for a couple days a year when the ice lifts, my 150 gets to pretend it's a bush plane!

Neat picture!!!!

Great pic Hozer. Where up here are you from?

Very nice! Great to see another 150 out there.

Washington and Katahdin haven’t shed their winter coats (April 24) but the PK factory is humming

Nice winter shots Ches!

Oh I know it's real. I did my training in Steinbach. Live in Hythe Alberta.

Flew to Alaska for the first time. This count as bush flying?

Welcome! I trust you were presented with the official bush pilot certification upon arrival?

Wait...I’m confused. Great Alaskan Bush Company is a place to drink and sit on ones hands due to close proximity of T&A.

Great picture Hozer! That sure is fun flying off that kind of ice on tires. I have flown over Flin Flon many times.

Been flying my new Carbon Cub everywhere getting my 40 hours in. What an aircraft. Im 6'3" tall and she fits great and I'm still comfortable after yet another 10 plus hour day in the saddle. Also feels pretty good cruising around at 100mph with 31's on burning 7-8g an hour.

Very cool, welcome to the fast low fuel burn world! How big are your CC tanks? What does she weigh?

Im surprised that the CC and the SQ spinners are the same height, I would have thought the SQ would have been taller than the CC.

Surprised me to, but it think the thrust line change on the SQ drops the spinner where as the CC thrust line looks to be unchanged from the -18.

That explains it....

Did my 40 hours and now homeward bound! I'll start a new thread about the Carbon Cub vs BCSC Rev2. Both very different.

Up to Breezy Point on Saturday:




(170's attract Maltese...)








doors!



Float change time!

I recognize Rimrock Lake (Tieton) in your other photo, but where's this?

Just finished rebuilding this Scout this week so had to make it for a couple test flights to check rigging this morning. Felt good to get up in the air, its been a while.
