John, nice looking plane! Looking forward to meeting you in McCall.
John,
I also like the plane, though in my mind being based where you are, You are one lucky man. and with that in mind, you have the right airplane. I have flown your way on a couple of occasions when we used to fly our annual group Idaho Back Country trips. I recall flying the flatlands then diving down into the river gorge to land at Orofino. Treasured memories.
John,
Welcome aboard, very nice looking plane.
Beautiful airplane. It looks like the color that I am painting mine right now. My color is from Stewart Systems and is Pontiac Red, but my trim will be AC Yellow. I am located at Felts Field, Spokane, WA. Not too far from you. Look forward to meeting up with you sometime. Not sure when I will be flying though. I am at that 90% done and 90% to go. :)
Nice plane. Please tell us more about your bird, engine, prop, avionics, etc...
John,
That's a very nice looking aircraft!
Hey Guys thanks for all the nice compliments. I don't have many photos yet, but I will have soon.
Here,s some of the the good stuff. 26 in Alaska Bush Wheels, AK tail wheel. Electric horizon trim. Tannis engine heater.
It's a 2003 with 400 hrs. Rotax 912 100 hp. Warp drive ground adjustable Prop. The panel is real basic, just the necessities.
Iv'e only had this a little over a month and put 35 hrs on it. Upgraded the oil cooler to the new style the one mounted in front of the water radiator.
I owned a 1955 Cessna 170B for the last 16 years and I always wished that I would have gone the Experimental route . Now that I have, i'm sure having a lot of fun.
John
Is it the Alaskan Bush tail wheel or the Baby Bush Tail wheel. Just a beautiful plane.
