My good friend just bought a Stinson and we plan on having some great fun with it. I know that alot of you guys have a ton more time around them then I do. Is there any advice or tips that should be passed on to him? Thanks. |

Great plane. The only thing unusual is the gear that walks out when landing. Just "plant it" so both sides walk out equal and it is a big kittie cat. |

Good luck with it. I have a freind with one, he hasn't flown it in years. He always complained about the fuel consumption. Still, a neat airplane...I'd like a 108-3 with the "Station Wagon" option. |

My Dad taught some of my kids in his 108-2 Station Wagon. Roll them on one wheel at a time, three point it, push it up on the mains for a wheelie, they're all just as easy as can be. Slow, stately, great sounding engine, so smooth. I still fly it sometimes. Chris... |
