I "repaired" the turtle back on my A model, back to PA-18 specs using Piper drawings XYZ (don't remember which"). Log book entry. Did this 15 years ago and don't remember that it caused any problems,...

My stock 1989 Supercub was 20 MPH slower than my stock 2005 A-1B Husky, both in normal cruise. My 1995 Husky on Amphibs was the same speed as the Supercub on wheels (850X6). Flew the Supercub for 700...
Thanks SB, I've never seen the flush hatch. Anyone have any idea who in Big Lake is installing/building the flush hatches? I contacted EDO and I'm waiting on their info. I'd like to see photo's of...
Couldn't start a new thread so I'll ask here. Does anyone have drawings or photos on installing fish hatches or lockers in EDO floats? I'd like to put them in a set of 2960's we have on a 180....
Actually it was a SGS-233 that I had for 20 years. Damn, gittin old is not all it's cracked up to be!
A glider rating makes a more aware pilot. Got mine in the mid 70's in Caddo Mills Tx. from Ace Williams. Bought a SGS-232 from him and flew it for 20 years. A good rating! Bill
Don't know how to post photos on the Supercub site, never could figure it out. I will e-mail photos to anyone who knows how to post them. That amphib sure looks good, what kind of floats are they? ...
The Cub is for the fresh water marshes, swamps and bayou's. We use a Cessna 180 for salt water surf fishing off the barrier Islands (a factory corrosion protected floatplane) We use a lot of LPS3 and...
I can e-mail photos to anyone who knows how to put them on the Supercub site. Never could figure out how to do it. Bill
After several years of building and 10 hours on wheels, we put the Cub on Baumann 1500 floats. It has an 0-200', 76"x 38" Mac and doors on both sides. Weighs 816lbs on wheels and 954 on floats. At...
Silver float lacquer in a rattle can makes it easy to stay on top of scratches and rub marks. Blends with the existing lacquer and keeps the floats looking great. Matching colors on painted floats is...
I guess I should have asked about "front rudder pedal assemblies". I plan to push it around with my John Deere tractor when I finish it.
If I work a bit every day, In a year or so I might have a Stearman parked with my Cubs. Just thought I'd check to see if anyone had a set of front rudder assemblies for a Stearman laying around their...
Clay, how much did he cut the legs of the SC seat when he put it in the J3? Bill
Gators will eat anything that stinks or will stink. When we shoot coyotes (preditor control) we put the carcasses in the marsh alongside our mud boat trails. The gators clean them up within a few...
Yes, that's the gator photo that was posted for me before. If anyone wants to see the bigger one from last Sept. I'll email it to you so you can post it. I don't think you would want to dump it, I...
No, but someone did post a photo of me and the 10 1/2 foot gator I got a couple of years ago. I have a photo of the 11 1/2 footer I got last Sept. Still don't know how to post a photo. I need to...
Anybody have a J3 or a PA-18 front seat for sale? Bill
I have not recieved a notice for reregistration of either of my planes. Do we just have to "know" to do it or do we wait for a notice? Bill
Army air corps became a separate service when the the United States Air force was formed in 1947. Bill
I built a boot cowl for my J3 the way Steve describes, using aluminum angle and a shrinker. Bill
Best weather will be late June thru July for the trip. It's been a few years since I've made the trip so my memory might be lacking about a publication called the Mileposts. I think that's the name...
I run a Lyc 0-360 behind a MT prop. I find the MT recomendation of 1950 rpm and 23" MP gives me a good compromise between speed and fuel burn. These settings fall well within the Lyc approved range....
Ten years ago I used 2 part epoxy on my shop at home. Fifteen years ago I used a different name brand 2 part epoxy on my hangar floor. Both have held up with no staining, peeling, or other issues....
I installed an Airwolf kit on my O-320 Cub and found it easy to change with no mess. Bill
