Michael Now that be funny:yes: On the mouse problem We use all the above ,they all work to some degree. Also found in my boat if you open up closed spaces they tend not to use those areas ,they like dark quiet places. Poison bait blocks work best,traps next then down the line. My wife...

A couple years ago I met John ,Betty and Jeremy as I was at a workshop at the Sonex factory. Great people!!! You could sense in John he was so very proud that Jeremy had left Boeing as an engineer to return to the family business to run it. The Onex that I bought and am building was pretty much...

I have that programmed in as well,room for 18 more entry codes.

A couple of airports have it here also. Not much in the building, just trying to keep the bikes from coming up missing. Most non pilots don't know what "squawk VFR" is. The ones who really want to get in will either kick the door in or throw a rock through the window. Suppose this day and age...

Just got back from 6Y9. Met with the State Airport inspector. Passed inspection with some good comments, all is good. It was mowed May 22nd but will need it soon with the recent rain and warm weather. New door lock on the pilot shack, the old State supplied mechanical lock was a pain for...

Probably Thurs. for me

I also will be up there by air or by land if the wx gods do not look down on us pleasantly.

Hi Tim Did not see any skunks:rofl:

I was up at 6Y9 this weekend, mowed it ,set the runway cones,walked the runway. All is well and the runway is surprisingly dry for this time of year. Pretty solid and no standing water. Chased off some Canada Geese, so a low pass before landing is probably wise. The 10th 6Y9 Fly In is already...

Congrats, from one Cherokee owner to another. I have a 1972 PA28-180 G, learned to fly in it, still have it, love it,simple and flys easy.(love the johnson bar flaps) Not fast but reliable, great for pavement or grass runways. You mentioned wanting to change the outside lighting. I can...

Tim I see Diz already thanked you but I'll thank you again. I know it's a tremendous amount of work and I know exactly what you mean about "why do I do this".But, I have the same feeling as you said " when that first plane shows up" it is all worth it. Thanks to you and J for a really great...

When I was a kid all I ever dreamed of was fishing at the family cabin and flying someday. My oldest son became a pilot ,CFI then taught me to fly when I was 56. Two planes ( 3rd being built) in the family , son/brother a CFI, I approached my youngest son who works at GRR airport and asked him...

Another note on Lightspeed: They also give back to Aviation. Deserving groups involved in Aviation have received up to $10,000 from Lightspeed. The Recreational Aviation Foundation( RAF) a 501C3,that I volunteer for, has been the recipient a couple of times and that money is put to good use...

You may just have half a quick drain unit:yikes:

Easy fix Let's get rid of the 3rd class medical,have them fly at 0-179 degrees odd +250ft and 180-359 degrees even + 250ft. I know we have some small issues at T.O. and Landing but by percentages we all spend more time enroute. AS my Dad always said about driving " Speed up, you'll have less...

Richard has it right, don't know how many pilot don't use airport name on both ends of transmission. Someday's here in Mi.and in Wi. you can hear 3,4,5 or more airports on 122.8 Heck here in Grand Rapids we can hear Wi and Oh. In. and Mi. all at the same time . Some pilots flying in there own...

I'd love to have one for cutting grass at my airport 6Y9. I could then do some trout fishing, or better yet more flying:yes:

Congrats!!! You now have no excuse for not having a ride to 6Y9.:lol: That is a beautiful bird. Now go out and burn some 100LL:yes: You've got 12 years of catching up to do.

Very nice video, might you be interested in doing some video for N. Fox Island Airstrip?

Also beware of rebuilt to spec (original) or rebuilt to minimum acceptable specs, been there done that. The later does not go to TBO. Very painful to the pocketbook.
