Winter flight in AMF-S14 Maranda, homebuilt, experimental airplane

Flying in January 2009
We flew from Brampton to Hanover and later to Collingwood.

AMF-S14 Maranda is a plans built wood & fabric airplane, this one was completed in 1978. It has been our toy sine 2000.
It has a Lycoming O-290D2B with a 72" Warp Drive (carbon fiber) propeller. It has a basic day/night VFR pannel. Cruise is about 100 MPH economy setting. The wing has no flaps but it has full-span ailerons, which helps out with cross-wind landings. We can carry 140 liters of fuel in the two wing tanks. Fuel burn is about 22L/h economy power setting. The airplane is a charm to fly, very responsive on all controls. The two main tires are 8.00-6 and a Scott fully-steerable tail wheel.
One draw back is it has only one door on the passenger side. This makes it little cumbersome to get in or out, but once you get use to it, no problems.
