GONE WEST
Nikiski Alaska
A couple of tips that have helped me in rebuilding my Cub. Doing the tear down of my Cub I started at the the spinner and worked back from there(you need a place to start). Get a box of Zip Lock sandwich bags and a permanet marker. Put all the screws, bolts etc. for a given assembly in a Zip lock and lable it i.e. "landing gear bolts", "spinner screws", "wing attachment bolts" etc.. I assemble each bolt with it's nut and washers just as it came off the plane before putting it in the bag. This way you'll know what type of nut (heat or nylock) was on the bolt along with how many washers (thick or thin). Some time when you're wanting a break from painting or something, sit down with all your bags of bolts and an AN bolt size guage and make a list of all the hardware in each bag. Then go on the internet and place an order with Aircraft Spruce. In two days you'll have a 10 lb box show up with all the hardware for your plane. Replace the hardware in the zip lock bags with the new stuff (assembled, like for like). When you get ready to re-assemble the plane, it goes a lot faster with all the marked bags containing the correct hardware for a given assembly. Be sure to always use "AN" or "Mill Spec" hardware on your certified aircraft. Crash
