I have the Flight Case and it is a must have! The shape matches the
slope contour of the seat back so it snugs up behind the seat and
protrudes minimally into the baggage compartment leaving lots of room.
It has numerous zippered pockets, pleated pockets for pens or pencils,
flashlight, fuel tester, etc. Store you canopy cover, tie downs, tool
kit, extra quart of oil, headsets, and whatever with ease. Absolutely
unclutters your baggage compartment!! These are very high quality
proffessionally made units and worth every penny.
And the usual, I am a customer and don't profit from this prouduct.

Hello All,
Had some RV specific bags I have been selling and thought I would drop
the info on the list if anyone is interested. I've pasted the
information below. If you are interested in either of these products
please email me at BisonMountain@yahoo.com and I'll get an order form
emailed back to you. Thanks!

Bison Mountain Chart Case:
As you know, the key to keeping everything you need within reach in a
small cockpit can be a challenge to say the least. Our new Chart Case
is designed to fit on the floor, between the pilot and passenger, of
your RV or production aircraft. It allows your approach charts,
enroute charts, sectionals, WAC's, pencils, flashlights, hand held
radios, and other miscellaneous items to be stored in easy reach
without having to climb over your seat to reach items in your cargo
area. The Chart Case is 10.5 inches long, 8.75 in high, and 4.5 in
wide and weighs 1 pound, 4 oz. The main compartment has a durable
double zipper that allows full access to the interior. The Chart Case
has 410 cubic inches of storage area and comes with a divider that can
be adjusted to hold any combination of items. The divider is adjustable
to any number of dimensions and will create 2 interior pockets as small
as 2 inches on one side and 8 on the other and every dimension in
between. The divider can also be removed to make the bag one large
compartment. The interior divider and main compartment double zipper
also allows one top compartment to remain open for often used items
(approach charts), and the remaining compartment zipped closed. The
extra portion of the top cover is tucked neatly next to the divider and
less used items are out of view and your cockpit will look sharp and
organized. .The Chart Case has two side map pockets designed to fit
checklists, flight computers, calculators, sectionals, WAC's, and
Jeppesen or NOS enroute charts. Both of these pockets have Velcro straps
to keep your items locked in while transporting the Chart Case. The
rear pocket of the Chart Case has a zippered 4 inch by 6.5 inch pocket
for just about anything. The front of the Chart Case has a
multi-purpose holder for pens, pencils, smaller flashlights, and fuel
strainers. Attached to the front of the case is a durable carrying
handle that makes inserting and removing the Chart Case simple. A
removable over the shoulder carrying strap is also included. The chart
case is made of the same durable Curdura material found in our RV Flight
Bags and is also available in grey and black. The Bison Mountain Chart
Case sells for $49

Bison Mountain RV Flight Bag
Our RV Flight Bag was designed to fit behind the pilots and co-pilots
seat of the RV-6/7/9. It fits over the flap actuator bar and makes
maximum use of the area behind your seat. This keeps the CG as far
forward as possible and maximizes remaining cargo space. The RV Flight
Bag is 18 inches high and 12.5 inches wide. It has a very large main
cargo area easily accessible with a large zipper flap. There are two
side pockets, one 10" x 4 " and a 7" x 5.5" map pocket. The rear side
of the bag has a pencil/flashlight/fuel tester pocket, a 10 inch x 7
inch headset pocket, and a 6"x 5 =BC" pocket for small tools. The
material and zippers are heavy duty and will last a long time. The bag
is made of durable Curdura and is resistant to liquids. It has a nice
carrying handle and comes with two straps that can be attached to your
seat back to clip the bag to your seat to minimize movement. It also
comes with a removable shoulder strap. The RV Flight Bag sells for $89
plus shipping. Two bags or more are $85 each. They are available in
black and gray. It's a nice way to clean up the cargo area and looks
great too.

It seems like alot of people are waiting for these props and can not
contact the manufacture. How did you ever get a hold of him to order the
prop, I'm guessing a web site? Then you sent him $1000 without ever
talking to him and getting a estimated delivery date? It seems like all
the orders do finally get delivered but I would really want to talk to
him and get a realistic delivery date from him before sending him a
check up front.
I sent money up front for my interior from Classic Aero but I talked to
the manufacture on the phone and was given a delivery date each time I
ordered something from him. I received order within a couple days of the
date I was given, usally before. He also answered the phone every time I
called to place the order.
If I was going to order a Cato prop I would call to order it, if no one
ever answered the phone I would think real hard about sending money to him.
Yes this is just my opinion :-)

| Subject: | 3 Blade Wooden Props |
I had an Aymar Demuth prop and always parked it in the horizontal
position to prevent moisture from migrating to the low end. I am just
wondering what you do with a 3-blade wooden prop and if anyone has
noticed any balance changes over time.

Here is what you can do: You write little numbers on each blade (1+2+3).
Every time the prop stops you put it into a Y position. That way the
moisture from the upper two blades runs down to the vertical bottom
blade and eventually drops to the ground by gravity. You alternate the
bottom blade between 1, 2, 3 every time the engine stops. All you have
to do is remember which blade # is due at the next shutdown.
Or, just don't worry about it at all...

Catto seals his props in a layer of fiberglass and bonds an aluminum plate on
the back where it bolts up. They are well sealed and he told me you don't
really need to check it every xx hours for bolt torque. I have checked mine
after Phase I and each annual, and the bolts have never loosened. Seems like a
waste of safety wire...
Can't speak for other brands, but Performance Props was the only other
builder of wood 3-blades when I got my Catto, but there may be others-

Why don't you try a Sterba two blade wood prop. Ed makes a pretty darn good
prop at approximately one third the price of the Catto and his lead times
last year were only a couple months. His phone number: 941-778-3103
