Hey Adam Just wanted to clarify. Maybe you inserted Ed's name where it should have been Brad. When Diz read this she said "what the heck?" Ed was just laughing about it. Ed did not open North Fox Island Airstrip and he is not working on The Two Hearted Airstrip. The person doing that or leading...

6Y9 is now ready for the May 15th opener for 2016. The cones have been placed and the runway rolled.

Flying under the Bridge at Mackinac would put you in the category of being a "Flying Troll" FAA rules would probably be severe;) If jail time was levied you would probably serve time behind bars with a Mount'in Troll---ouch!!

6Y9 will open May 15th as usual( windsock is up now, cones out on the May 15th , although it never seems to be completely dried out until June 1st. It snowed 9 in. last week there, hopefully that will be out of its system soon:eek: I'll be up there just before the 15th so will post conditions,I...

Flight plan? What's that?:confused::rofl: The rear seats weigh next to nothing and I never fly even close to gross whenever I put the" bulky items" in(I strap them down not the dog though). If they needed to be there to be legal they should have bolted them in and put a placard in...

For my PA 28-180 G Cherokee: All I can find in my POH is that "the rear seats may be removed for easy loading of bulky items." There is a chart for standard and utility W+B in the back of the book with no further explanation as to when or why. That leads me to believe it's legal to take out...

I have a 1972 PA-28 180 G No tools needed for rear seat remove, front legs slide into slotted hardware rear legs have arrow head type ends that clip into the hardware in the 1/2" plywood floor. Battery not under rear seat but behind baggage area rear bulkhead access panel. I flew all last...

Just saw a 9000 Lynx in trade a plane for $7,995 installed, they are coming down:lol:

Lynx 9000 is $6,800 for new transponder, weather and traffic ADS B in and out With install its $9,800. So you're close at 10K If they were 4K with install they'd be 7K

Got to be one up near Traverse City/Frankfurt Mi..

I'm sure it will get better. We will do some dethatching next year. This airstrip has been used since about 1960. The former owner/builder flew a Bonanza and a twin Comanche out of there. This airstrip has been pretty much unused since 1997,so it will take awhile to get it totally back in...

Thanks Michael ,it is remote as to it's location in the Lake, but is really only 12nm. from SJX Beaver Islands paved runway with fuel and an AWOS. Problem is communication and no walking home.

Also to date as close as I can recall this season we've had these plane on 6Y3 Cherokee 180 Piper Arrow 200 hp. Lake Amphibians Mooney - ( that started his roll on Sun. by not taxing to the end but 450ft. short of the end so in essence took off on 2550 ft. and had no problem. 150 Cessna...

Concerning the sinking : The airstrip has spent many years uncut and has developed a thick root system that creates this sinking that is being spoken about. Also it rained Fri. night - Sat. morning which did not helpthose that arrived Sunday. There are places on the sides of the runway further...

FYI Cook Shack and Fire Hub courtesy of the Recreational Aviation Foundation. www.theraf.org Project they did a couple years ago.

Pusher prop would turn that Cardinal into a tailwheel Canard:yesnod:

You know your aircraft better than anyone. It is always safer to stay on the conservative side of the curve. I'm not trying to talk you or anyone else in going there. As a MDOT Aeronautics "Unimproved Airport" and lists "land at your own risk" in the airport regs. By the way what Hp. is your...

There are no wood chucks on the island,no deer, maybe one lonely coyote. This time of year watch for migrating ducks and geese. The ants build hills very slowly and we have removed them when we cut the tall grass. You may call me for updates as I am Airport Manager for N. Fox 6Y3 Watch and...

I think you all have it figured out but here's what it is: The total runway length is 3,000 ft. marked with cones 200 ft apart. From runway 7 there is a 1,000ft displaced threshhold leaving 2,000 from where you are suggested to touchdown (20 to 1 angle). From runway 25 there is an 800 ft...
