    5 inches of ice across the lake here in MN now.
    Back out again!  Gotta zoom on second pic.  It shows landing track (skip in shadow) looping around to TO track in the snow.
    Winter performance sure is nice!!   TO runs today about 150-200 ft which aint bad for a floatplane

    That manual (that I once had) sure had a nice pic of the cannon plug with each pin labeled.
    Sure hope someone here with that manual can post that up for you.

    Sounds like a great project there!   Kind of a "Heavy" Kitfox Lite
     
    As far as mods its clear you know your stuff and have already done a lot of research so I won't be of any help except to say that the one thing I wished for on my KF2 was a wider and taller gear stance.
     
    Looking forward to seeing your plane come together!

    Good job with this guy!   Always cool to see a good "rescue plane" story with someone willing to bring one back to airworthiness.

    Yeah and that's why I should put my ear plugs in and not talk to anyone when I'm swinging wings and hooking up flaperons..

    Looks good.  Much like the one KF sells that I put in.
    Had mine go off once when I still had 4 gall of wing gas left but was flying with that wing low for a period of time (fuel sloshed away from tank outlet).. The warning horn mighta saved me from a possible fuel starvation when I thought I was doing good.

  14. Yamma-Fox added a post in a topic STOL pilot's competition in Mn this weekend   

    Yeah yeah yeah!  We've done this arm wrestling  before .   No way to settle it but you are sure right on some points:  Any avg pilot can take off in 6ft with the right plane, power, and headwind.  And also these guys are recreational pilots..  and not Bush Pilots, who deserve their own respect on different levels.
    But there are some pretty good displays (yep YouTube displays) of backcountry landings by these "pretty boys" that deserve a nod for superb aviating, and anyone that can consistently land in a 6ft box and hammer the brakes to a stop with the prop tickling the ground also deserves a bit more credit than you're offering...  IMHO  
    STOL is but a competition. Bush flying certainly has more depth.  But in the frame of STOL competition these guys have the record to prove their place.  Anyone out there is invited to come take it from them.  Some guys out there could, and watching that showdown sure would be fun to see!

    Yep, no pics but it was really laid back and quiet (which I like!).  I got there late and missed the competition flying but had a better time sitting under the wing of Steve's plane for an hour or so "shootin the shit" with him and Jason Busat as Hal Stockman ran the pattern practicing up for the next day's finals.
    Three of the best STOL guys on the planet, right here in little old BRD MN.  Sure wish everyone in this game were as down to earth and humble as those guys!!
