@savagepandax1 7 ай бұрын
I miss that plane coming into dillingham. We still get it once in a while but damn that plane is amazing. Boosters are on for sure. Worst part is the belly have to lay in them to unload. And when you use a fork the tail is slightly down. But when it starts up you just can't help but smile. Such an amazing plane with all the gyros and tech from those days

They used to re-blow them every set. Not enough room aboard the ship. There’s really big ones used for long line Bouy. We used to find jap gear all the time well, long ling for halibut. Born and raised Kodiak Aska.

Great to see the flying footage Rob. Now that you’ve been flying it for a bit, what kind of specs are you getting? Cruise speed, stall speed, takeoff and landing distances? I really like all the mods you put on the new version of your Pacer and want to include many of your choices into my Pacer upgrade. I had a 1954 PA22/20 Pacer for 3-1/2 years and took to the 2023 Oshkosh airshow week. But I ground-looped it in Fort Dodge Iowa on my way back to Washington. So I ended up finding a replacement, a 1956 PA22/20 Pacer with half the hours TT, and it has the larger Lycoming O-320 engine, and the Stewart wingtip mod like you have on Pinto Bean 2. There is a lot more I need to do on it, and you have inspired me to forge ahead… it can be done! Hope to someday visit you up there at your northern fly-in. Thanks for sharing your stuff. Rusty Johnson

no , they could not have melted glass out at sea, takes to much space for wood plus could burn the boat up
