Float Season starts on May 13, 2013 after the Valdez Fly In and Air Show

ACME Cub will attend the Valdez Fly In and Air Show this year.  Jacob is flying N7461L and I will fly N8977D.  We will be camping on the ramp at the Valdez airport.  We will plan a dinnertime fly-out to a gravel bar for dinner.  Come join us and help us gather fire wood.  Bring your own camp chairs.

We will return to Anchorage on May 12.   Floats Alaska will remove the Bushwheels on N8977D and install EDO 2000 floats on the morning of May 13th.   The 2013 float training season at the Lake Hood seaplane base will begin.

Airframes Alaska

ACME Cub Training purchased the fuselage to rebuild N8976D from Airframes Alaska.  The new fuselage weighs103 pounds with powder coating.  Our goal is to have this Cub weigh less than 1100 pounds on 31" Bushwheels with a 0-360 engine.   Airframes Alaska makes this goal achievable.
