    This is really good news, I wish Mark the best! When will he start accepting orders for some parts I'd like to get? Bill Hansen

    So glad you're home Joey in time for Thanksgiving and I too really enjoy all your videos. I look forward to seeing you soon when you venture back up north.

    Hey Joey,
    I'm looking for brakes, wheels and tires. If they are hydraulic brakes.

    Hi Joey,
    That Moses Lake plane has quite a history. You are right, it sold about 3 or 4 years ago with a 582. The seat might not be the colors you like but it as comfortable as a recliner. Since it was sold I have no knowledge of what the new owner has done except to change the engine. That's all I care to say in the open forum, if you want more, PM me.

    Thanks for this great article Doug. The seat pan looks very similar to the one I just completed and now I hope my cushions will be half as comfortable as yours look to be. I'll follow your instructions..

    I want to first say thanks to all of you that replied, I always get great answers and guidance from this forum, After some close inspection of the history and the logs as well as the plane itself, we reached a price that I feel was very fair and made my 400 mile drive worthwhile. Thanks again all!

    I am in town looking at this plane. The logs are a mess. Tomorrow I talk with the seller. Question for all of you, have you ever heard of coating the bush tires with some kind of bedliner? Rhino spray in from auto parts house. Owner claims this protects the rubber bush tires... Also, does there need to be a weight and balance for both tires and floats?
    Thanks guys,

    I too have a new leak in my STOL 9 gallon tank. I just found 6 plastic tanks that are for sale that were ordered for the Magnum. Does anybody know if the tanks for a Magnum will fit in STOL wings?

    I'm sure that he does know how to W&B too, It was all in fun. I did forget to mention his calculation with "USABLE" fuel as opposed to unusable fuel. But I don't carry any unusable fuel. Mine flies until the fuel is all gone, then I have to switch tanks.
    (I attached the link in case anyone wanted more W&B info)

    I sure hope that these are not the numbers you are using for your weight and balance. If they are, you sure need to work on getting the plane to fly level. LOL The tail needs to be raised to the level-flight attitude.

    I'm leaving your answer because that was exactly what I was looking for. I hope others find your answer very helpful so we can help Leni fill the server with pics and vids. I too use XP so I'll get the program you suggested.
    Thanks all
