I’ll be heading back west on vacation between Sept 9 and 15. I’ll spend a couple days in Whistler initially, 3-4 days on the Island then back to Vancouver on the 14. Any pilots out there who fly regularly? I’d love to hitch a ride and see BC the way it’s meant to be seen! Fuel’s on me! Pm if...

Huh?? fuel have been known to swell shut enough to cause an engine failure on takeoff. Can you eleborate on this, not sure I follow? :dunno:

Any details on fuel line type and tank materials that might be problematic with 100LL?? And what produces it?

I initially thought that 100LL should always be considered as a last resort for the Rotax 912... (Never owned one). But the more I read the more I hear about guys using it almost exclusively or very often without any significant downside apart from the 25hr oil change. Some suggest...

Mo gas availability for cross country ferry flight in Canada? Planning a ferry flight later this summer where I'll be taking my newly purchased plane back home to Quebec from the Calgary area. Lacking experience in that department so I'm calling on fellow pilots to get some insight on mo...

:hairraise: I'd freeze to death! I'm in Quebec :eek:

750 Cuizer I like. But not fast by any means... Pipistrel is great, but mucho $$. The alpha trainer might be more affordable, but close to 100K CAD anyway... ouch.

Re: Forgetting something? Aircraft suggestions welcomed! Nice plane, but again; it's a tail dragger and a tandem config :) ...

"-Rotax power or 5gal/h or less, owner maintainable power plant?"

As I said in the requirements, I would prefer tricycle gear. First and foremost for visibility, and side by side configuration. But, I'm open for suggestions, going tailwheel would require training.

Catalina is an interesting aircraft, but just not my cup of tea...

Love the RV12, but a little tight for me. When I sat in one, It felt tighter than my RV6 which isn't what I'm looking for. Sitting in the Sportcruiser or the CTLS/SW was night and day. Lots of space and very confortable... With just 5-6" more width

Interesting looking bird! I'd probably need to get a kit or a partially built one to get in the air... From what I've seen online, they tend to be 75/80K + which isn't the money I'm looking to spend on a kit plane anyway... Especially one with a 100mph cruise. But still an option.

@ Cap'n Ron, thx for your insight on the CTSW gear

@Florida Cracker; Great Suggestion on the A22 LS. Keep them coming guys. I should also mention that I'd like an all metal aircraft. (Or composite)

Forgetting something? Aircraft suggestions welcomed! Hey Guys! Been out of the game for 2 years now since I sold my beloved RV-6 in 2013. Lots of work, renovations and a construction left no time to enjoy the aircraft at that time. All that behind me now so let's get back in the air :yesnod...

5193 Hours :confused:

Gotta say, the Orcas Island/San Juan region is pretty awesome too... Lots of small airstrip and general aviation airports... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwhDg24lyx8

watching this definitely makes me want to visit Oregon :yes: http://youtu.be/R1zQebhrOGg

BTW, just remembered a friend having only great things to say about Basin Harbor Club in VT. It's on Lake Champlain... There's an airstrip right on site.
