please post it. I missed it :(

Don't judge me :D

Thanks Dave. Remember that very snowy Christmas when we hiked over to the hangar just so you could see the avionics? I'm going to ugly cry when she sells and flies away without us in it. Every airplane has some personality, but she is special. It has been the best 8 years, I hope she can...

Currently in Rapid City, SD. I will add that to my post :)

Our beloved 182RG is hitting the market. It is currently located in Rapid City, SD TTAF: 2100 SMOH: 325 Prop: 325 Paint: 7.5/10 Interior: 9.5/10 (Done in 2014) Avionics: Garmin GTN750, GTX345 Transponder (ADSB in/out), Cessna 300 nav-o-matic, HSI Complete gear restoration 2019: All...

Fuel control unit is a known weakness on the PC12. He said he still had NG so one can speculate it could have been another FCU failure.

Wow, just wow.

The 182RG is the best. It sips gas, goes reasonably fast and is overall reliable. Out of our six airplanes the 182 is the only one that isn't "for sale". Gear specific maintenance is pretty little, but we had some leaky o-rings last winter so we went ahead and rebuilt the entire system since it...

Stockade is good too! Hoping to find more smaller lakes this summer. I will still try to avoid Pactola and Sherdian. Too many crazy boaters. Driving the Scout up there is so much fun and gets so many looks.

Haven't been there with the kayaks yet. The boaters are pretty aggressive up there and last summer was the first year with the kayaks so we stayed on either lakes without motorized watercraft or small lakes with more pontoon boat types. Sylvan and Center lake were our favorites.

We have a Scout. It was my Grandpa's and he used it to tow snowmobiles, not sure how many pounds that would have been though. We use it now to haul our kayaks. It's a blast but in the summer we have to be cautious of the heat because it doesn't have an overdrive gear and we go up several...

Yes. And as the poster above me we go through a lot of training on the manual override lever and its operation in case of a fuel control unit failure. Regardless of what happened looks like the crew did a stellar job and the airplane may even be reusable after a little work.

Unfortunately they weren't sent to me, just showed to me. One of my friends/customers had a connection with the airport in Chamberlain.

I saw photos of the aircraft today, the day of departure. A lot of ice/snow on the wings. They were attempting to clean off the wings, but did they have a 12 foot ladder for the tail? And did they get the wings completely clear with the rubbing alcohol? Who knows...

Full disclosure: I don't fly the NG, just the older ones. Not having the inertial separator on could do it. Maybe he wanted the probes and prop on and didn't want pusher ice mode activated? Or maybe it was a true mechanical failure of the PT6.. we don't know yet. We won't for quite awhile. The...

If it will fit through the nose door or the cargo door, it will fly. We usually only keep 5 seats in ours but even with 6 the room for baggage is incredible. I don't know a ton about the 320, but flying the 310R is a real treat and I enjoy it every flight. I don't particularly enjoy the fuel...

Spectacular! :)

It's hard to see in the photo but this is what we hauled in the 310R this weekend to Reno. 4 peoples worth of stuff and we hauled some extra for friends taking the airlines. Included but not limited to... 2 hard sided Yeti 65 coolers 1 soft sided Yeti 18 cooler 1 approximately 1 gallon Yeti...

They do make non-turbo twins ;) Our 310 is non-turbo and it works well for our mission. We are in Reno right now... four people and TONS of stuff (three Yeti coolers is just the beginning) and enough gas to fly here from PHX. If the Cherokee Six is what you're going for get the 300hp. You will...
