I agree, you are overthinking it. When you put weight into the aircraft, the floats will displace water and it will sit lower. It doesn’t matter where the weight is located, 200lbs is 200lbs. The more of the float that is in the water, the longer it will take to get up on step. You will find that lo...

This thread turned into a total train wreck. A lot of opinions from folks who have never spent a moment in or around an Otter, that much is clear. You get to a good solid dock, tie it down and wait it out. That's all anyone could really do in this sort of situation. What the winds and gusts do is ou...

I wouldn't trust the suction cup mount on the float, the sticky mounts are the way to go. They can be reused as well, just go buy yourself a roll of the 3M tape at an automotive/paint store. The only problem we have run into with the Hero 3 up in the cold is battery life. At -30 you will only get 15...

Better get used to it, I have American tourists ask me if I an old enough to fly on at least a weekly basis. I'm almost 34!!! Now I just look at it as a compliment.

A nice day for cub flying, Northern Ontario.

I have a Garmin 76, good bang for your buck. Mounted on the top of the panel, it's a flip down mount so you can get it out of your way if needed. It does everything I need and more.

I have to agree with CL on this one too. This whole frequency thing around the Nakina area has been a huge frustration for me in the last year or so. I have been here for nearly seven years and up until last winter everyone has been on 22.8. With the busy float and IFR traffic in our area, we really...

Sure is LCW! The top picture is SOX, you must remember her too.

YK is a small town, if someone was flying a new machine everyone would be gossiping about it and so far I haven't heard anything. I didn't see Yellowknife mentioned anywhere in the add. Jumping to some pretty wild conclusions there aren't we. It's truly a rarity to find anything positive or useful ...

Cat Got the new sicky medical today . Still no document booklet applied in September .Had to reapply again today and still not going to be delivered for 2 weeks. I know where I would like to put that sticky. Have to pay again for a temporary license if I want to work in the next 2 weeks. Beech Is t...

CADOR out
Fuel starvation due to leak.

Where does it say that?

As far as I know, there is no place to fuel in Longlac. Be sure to call ahead to any other spots you may have in mind. Should be a great trip, hope the weather improves!!

Not too bad eh? It's the most fun I've had flying in a long time.

Warm January evening in Ontario.

Looking for a set for sale, anyone? Seems like they are hard to come by. Either the Edo's or maybe a set of Baumann 1500's.
