I installed the 4-point BAS system in my SkyMaster and it worked fine. I would change to the rotary buckle instead of the 4-piece attachment. The 4-piece is mechanically simpler, but is harder for...

421s are absolutely fantastic, until overhaul. Those engines are much more reliable than you hear, but they're just not cheap to overhaul. If you can overlook that, they're the top of the traveling...

I was just talking to someone in Alaska who said there is a still a 336 up there on floats. I didn't get a chance to see it personally, so I can't confirm.

These have been talced. I'll upload photos of the tube later today. There's no wear on the outside; it's a manufacturing failure. I'll also cut it open to look at the inside.
