    BushCat is watching - thanks so much for the interest in our aircraft.
    There is a gas lifter kit available for the doors.
    Operating the flaps becomes 2nd nature after a few touch and goes - the motion of swapping arms around to deploy or retract flaps is known as “the BushCat shuffle “ - I will ask BushCatTom to consider demonstrating this on one of his videos.

    That zebra-stripe paint job is just so striking. Whichever company designer physically threatened the bean-counters to allow for that cost deserves an award.
    Hoping for a Republic Sea-Bee episode! I love that little nugget.

    I bought a “Booshcat” and I absolutely love it! Super sturdy construction, handles great in wind, big roomy cockpit, STOL, inexpensive to maintain. Yes sir, it’s the “Booshcat” for me!😆

    Not sure if you will see this but concerning your transmit issue, If it has not done it before I would pull the radios and clean the pins in the radios and the trays. If moisture got into the radios take them out and dry them. I would also check the sheilding on the antenna cable and make sure its not grounding to the inner cable. Have a good look around the antenna coax connections for corrosion. Any green nasty corrosion needs to be addressed as it will screw with everything. A multi meter will be your friend

      Radios are bourgeois, I simply roll down my window and yell instructions or if I'm outside of AYR (Aeronautical Yelling Range) I will politely ask a goose to relay the message.

      @@CompleteWalkaround Get a contact cleaner from an auto parts place , spray can. Blow it out with compressed air. The radios are held into the trays with a hex key located on the face of the unit, they will feed out as you turn the screw. Electronics can be a pain in the ass.

      They're very nice aircraft and there's plenty of room for hauling meatballs. There was, as I'm sure you're aware, an Airworthiness Directive was issued due to potential catastrophic interaction between the rudervator and meatballs containing >5% horsemeat with the V-tail cousins.
