Wish I didn't have to work....

See if you can find a meatier oring before you head to the machine shop.

Agree with TJ. I have seen factory rods with material removed. The airworthiness criteria is obviously cracks, twist, stretch, and ends dimensionally. An overly heavy rod would have material removed...

I have one broke on the spring end... Right in the ninety degree angle over the spring... Had the big tailwheel tire on....

Go with the short mount and the 160 or whatever hp 0-320... With that combo and some survival gear in the back... Makes a nice slow flying ( read "not nose heavy" ) cub or cruiser..... Pain in the...

I must say, in 30 years of working on cubs,(in Alaska) it has been at least 25 years since I have had to deal with 4" wheels and or expander tube brakes. Also the Goodyear floating disc type brakes...

Glenn, I wouldn't want to be your mechanic, if you are still using expander tube brakes.

Who is they? The Germans? Is there an American company associated with Oratex? Maybe Lars can chime in and state where they are at in the certification process...

Is this process STC'd?

N3243A, what would be the problem with hooking a travel trailer on the back of your surplus fuel truck and parking it in Northway for the summer. Skip the land lease acquisition. This is a mobile...

The cub that was tippy had extended wings with heavy drooped tips. The fuel tanks were the 30.5 dodge. Tires were early ABW 31" bias. The cub was tippy on the longitudinal axis. (side to side towards...

The 6" gear is tippy. I've had the unpleasant experience of flying for an operator that had a 180hp cub on 6" gear, put about 400hrs on it and it was unstable on uneven/soft ground.(tundra). The only...

You don't want to put the 6" gear on anything. Even Dodge admitted that after selling 6" gear for a few years. His comment to me was, "the geometry is wrong"..... He quit making and selling 6"...

Good post, also good review and reminder to check your work... If you aren't sure about what you are doing when welding structural or moving parts. Hire someone who does....

These things are turning into (have already) flying computers. Sit back push buttons, turn dials and input data... When the **** hits the fan, not only are you far removed from how the airplane is...

Dump the crappy extended droopy wings...worst thing anybody ever did to a cub...what an abomination...

Den, most muni-public, state, and Federal pension programs are under-funded....the health care side of things has exploded in cost... This represents trillions of dollars that need to come from...

Den, we should retire IA's so the Feds don't have to work so hard!!! Wow what planet are you living on? What did you earn your pension doing? You sound like a true bureaucrat. I'll take the tea party...

The D party is in office....operating without a budget for how many years now? Spend Spend Spend.....why would we want to curtail all that spending with a budget....

I think you could use any system that Piper(except 7600) was using regardless of what year your cub was built. Most people are using an STC'd process that spells out what your options are. The fabric...

I've been using the Bose X since 05, wore one set of ear cups out. Now I've broken the Y piece holding the left ear piece. Bose won't sell you the Y piece, they want you to send them in for repair....

Quite a few diff versions lowrider, dodge may have a picture of a clamp on, same idea.

You guys are restoring my opinion of "New Yorkers", all we ever hear up here is the liberal crap that comes out of the City.
give-em hell... Make them wish that they had never brought up the 2nd...

Most cubs in Alaska have the X braced floor, 180lb baggage beef up. I can't say that I have ever seen a person back there. You do have to put the seatbelt attach tabs in as part of the STC. Most...

Fortysix12, I like that country down around Lakeland, was there for a week in 05 Oct. went down to PA31-T2 school at Flightsafety. Have yet to make it to Sun & Fun though...
do you have cub gear?...
