I’m an old bush pilot from northern Canada. Beavers, otters, B-18 and the like. My memories are in black and white, your videos turn those memories into full colour. Thank you.

Fantastic. I’m glad to hear it. I also fly turbine Otters and piston beavers for a commercial operation 👍

I’ve been severely injured in extremely inhospitable remote backcountry. Therefore I wear mine(among other items) on my belt when I’m out of civilization.

Thank you

Thank you

Decades of hard work. Starting with being a laborer, then swinging a hammer as a carpenter and pouring concrete. Then building homes and brokering real estate which I now have spent over 20 years doing. I’m also a commercial floatplane pilot and airline pilot. Also buying and fixing up multiple airplanes then selling them over the past 15 years. I traded for this project with a kit airplane I built myself. Then restored this one. Nothing but hard work and determination.

The approach allows for a go around. If you come in the other way your only option is to land. If the wind is favoring a landing towards the mountain then there’s also a lot of wind driving down onto the lake and not worth the risks. There’s been a few accidents there unfortunately

Still pictures were from late last summer

😅 by the way i like a lot this videos

@@pierfullart thank you

Yes on the engine. Stock airplane besides VG’s and propeller. We lost some weight with the original avionics replaced and vacuum system removed. The floats are Wipline 3730’s.

Absolutely. The tire sticks out the front amphibious floats

@@klpilotah that’s very interesting, I’m thinking about getting my float rating sometime in the future.

Cool! Thank you will do

That’s the retracted position. Watch the ramping video to see how they work 👍

Fish is fantastic on these lakes. They come any try and bite your toes

Depending on the DA and load plus the terrain/trees on the far end… and wind it can get pretty small.

I've had a nervous departure in a Super Cub and it wasn't even that bad of a day, just the wind coming up from the valley and rolling over the lip stopped our climb for a scary moment right before clearing the trees.
