Back Country Tool Kit

You can follow Bumper, but just do as he says, not as he does. At least while landing after water-skiing.

And no, you will NEVER live this down Bumper.

I do believe you are right, at least as long as I have good freinds on this forum!!

Thinking about a hand held radio, the price of Sporty's SP-400 has been reduced. Any recomendations?

 

[Proteus]

I can really reccomend the yaesu airband. I've carried one in my flight bag and at home for at least 8 years. No issues with it.

Just getting my tool kit sorted
Any need for a jack to change a main wheel tube ? Or just a strap to pull the other wing down?
Regards
Daryl

Good strap with tiedowns and two telescopic tubes with holes and a pin. Put them under the gear for a wheelchange, to unload the strap

 

[tbienz]

Or buy “real” bush tires that don’t use tubes (just kidding)

I read an advertisement for a new "multi-tool" in the American Rifleman magazine. Called the Combar, it can do everything..... Including slicing bread!

It is a little pricey though.......

On filling brake cylinder, don't need a needle or to remove the screw. Just turn the brake reservoir counter clockwise until loose, then slide down the shaft exposing the entire open top. Fill up, pull back up and retighten. less messy too.
