I have a pond behind the house I fly off of and if I am on wheels I fly off a hay field next to the barn. My planes are bush planes big wheels.

Status: offline 		I have a flying question about this plane.  Currently I have a 4 star 40 with an OS 46 ax on the nose.  It is a good flyer and I can handle it just fine.  My question is, How will the US 60 compare in flight to the 4 star?  Other than speed (Im assuming the US 60 will be a bit faster) what should I anticipate on the first few flights?  Thanks in advance for the help.

Status: offline 		I’m having an issue with the fit of my canopy. The back fits well with about a ¼ of an inch of plastic overlap on the side but at the front I only have a 1/16. I made a template of the front block off the plans and shaped the wood to match. Should I continue to remove wood to lower the front of the canopy? Should the overlap be the same from back to front?

Status: offline 		I had the same situation on mine so I put a 1/4 balsa piece and curved it down.  I gives a smoother curve in the cockpit.  I might do it on the headrest piece too.  The photo illustrates what I did.

Agreed, that is the worst thing about the 'status' indicator. A few other members that I liked are also 'offline'. No fun to see that when you run across posts of theirs. Too bad there wasn't an honor term of some sort for these offline members.
