Re: TOP 10 BEST Bush planes with floats 5 seats or less

If I could make a choice..... piston. it would be a helio courier with an IO520-d and edo 3430 floats. Or the PA-18 180 with a fixed pitch seaplane prop and cap 2000's. Or i'd just say @#$! it, wake up and buy a beaver.

Re: Slipping turns.

... If you're teaching people how to fly, you should probly be knowledgable and comfortable enough in the aircraft to know when and where to use slipping turns, IMO slipping is great and should be used more, It's alot easier than using flaps, plus if you're a little high, you'll always be able to ma...

And get it all in 7 hours - oh, i mean 15. No wa...
