Transport Canada suing

Yes, you read that right. Transport Canada is suing the District of Muskoka (owner operator of CYQA Muskoka Airport) and papers are filed. The reason appears total mismanagement, harassment of tenants, ignoring the conditions in tenant leases and the abusive use of their authority on the tenants. If...

Re: PAL Aerospace

Keep away from them. They took my money to approve an STC and they produced nothing. A total rip off and no money to sue.

Amateur built aircraft

Question - Are you able to obtain a private pilot license when all flying is done in an Amateur Built Aircraft with a qualified flight instructor?
Yes I'm lazy.

Re: amateur built floatplane question

Bede - Everything I've said is IMHO. I did not call him out as you suggest. It's goes with the territory that the instructor has control of the situation. Ask an insurance company. Incidentally I have known Jim longer than you have probably been alive and he has been to my facility many times. As a ...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

PilotDAR - what world are you living in? Would be nice if the whole industry complied like you suggest must, but.......... I would think that there is not an aircraft flying that meets regulations 100% - the industry would be grounded in a heartbeat if that were true. I wonder if everyone flew the a...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

Pleasant Sunday morning chat, strong crosswind drifting us off topic. TeePee - I'm not modifying a Cessna 170 on wheel skis - my event, in that aircraft, happened probably 20 years before you were born but that result has left an impression. Whatever you do close to the ground other than straight an...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

Read my lips TeePee - IMHO don't slip on floats (especially when carrying a boat or canoe or is it ok then too) or skis. You have an opinion but I've experienced an unexpected moment that when side slipping a Cessna 170 on wheel skis. You know what they are, huh? Ask PilotDAR about unexpected happen...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

As for a ventral fin, or finlets on the H stab, perhaps your plane would benefit from them. I can say from experience that the testing you'll need to do to know for sure really should involve slips, it's part of the testing.... ---------- ADS ----------- Sooooo I test a side slip on floats with flap...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

Like some 172's, the 170B has the outboard end of the flap coincidentally located such that in a slip, a wake off the extended flap can burble over the horizontal tail, and momentarily reduce its effectiveness. It is a thing, and I have done it a number of times. That's why some 172's are placarded ...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

from PilotDAR - cannot speak for non certified planes. For any certified type, in any landing gear configuration, has to show compliance to full rudder sideslips. Stalling with full rudder applied is a poor idea, but down to 1.2Vs, a slip should not be overly concerning Can you really trust your air...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

IMHO - do not side slip a seaplane or ski plane. I did with a Cessna 170 on wheel skis and I was taught in a Champ on wheels so I'm sure everything is okay to play around in other planes. I say again - never...........

Re: amateur built floatplane question

IMHO - do not side slip a float plane or ski plane - maybe a test pilot can demonstrate but I'm not one. Floats and skis offer lots of drag - not necessary to side slip but maybe one wants to show off. Side slips are done close to ground - very unforgiving they say. There is a strong possibility tha...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

Wow - much more than I bargained for. Thank you everyone. I've got some reading to do. I new the forum had lots to give - never underestimate a forum, huh? My thought right now is to extend the "rudderlets" and test fly. Changing rudders size is more challenging but I think it will have to be done d...

Re: amateur built floatplane question

It's amateur built and a one off so knowing what it is won't help. I've flown it a lot and yes it has a recent more power upgrade of the engine. Just the way it flies, tracks, handles crosswind seems to me that a little more control from the tail might help. Larger rudder would really help also. Don...
