    Default Short wing at a Super Cub gathering

    Super Cub gathering at Johnson Creek Idaho this weekend.

    Greeted by frost three of the four mornings, I knew to take my winter bag

    Backcountry Tripacer at Root Ranch for breakfast, this is a private in-holding in the Frank Church wilderness

    Another breakfast morning at the Sulphur Creek Ranch, another private in-holding. I'm parked next to Stephens Super Pacer that he has been working on.

    A relaxing evening at the Johnson Creek strip next to the Backcountry Tripacer.

    A Tripacer can fly in and above the mountains in the Idaho wilderness.

    Johnson Creek, Root Ranch, Sulphur Creek Ranch, all have an elevation of around 5800', if flown early in the morning before 11:00 and stay light you can have a great time and stay safe in your Short-wing.

    Nice report, RobertC. We expect a full TR on the model of the back-to-school essay, "How I Spent My Summer Vacation, by Robert"

    Thanks. cubscout

    I’ll be there in September. Frost in the middle of June! I better bring warm sleeping gear for September. Nice pictures, beautiful country.

    Camped next to Bob and his son's (Morris and Paul, both pilots) kept me entertained. I tested out the new Marble Creek strip. Steve Henery and Pops told me that Cato props are junk. The new ground adjustable Sensenich prop is the way to go. Unfortunately, they are at least a year or more away from an STC for the short wings.
