I've also noticed that with polyfiber/stitts if you spray the pink or even silver on a little too heavy is dissolves the layers below, causing the tape edges to unstick. I had to do touch up work...
1. I've been flying in Alaska going on 15 years now, never flown a Cub of any kind.
2. Yes, I think they're highly over priced, UNLESS you plan to go bouncing off tiny gravel bars, mountainsides...
Had my compressor fired up for another project last night, so I decided to test it's capacity with the HVLP. Per Jason's recommendations I set the regulator to 75psi (I have a portable compressor,...

Just got my Finishline 4 kit from Stewarts and picked up a couple quarts of paint from Tamarack. Can't wait to try them out!

Pasted together some new and old footage from my HD170 last night.

Matt, that's not bad at all. Can't really see the quality difference on Youtube.

Ahh, Looking at his full video channel I see how he's using motors to flap the wings. The Wii controllers are just so the motors synch to his movements. I've seen rubber band powered ornithoper...
I also find this very hard to believe. That's considerably smaller than a typical hang glider wing, though some of the rigid glider wings are pretty small. Also, anyone else notice the tire tracks...
funny, I just got off the phone with my 70 year old dad. He was talking about how he wants to go spend some time at the GPAA camp in Nome.

Do you know the title of the book? Sounds like something I'd like to read.

Dang! Were they trying to carrier certify it?!

Doug, those are some of the prime reason I chose a plane that was intended to be built from plans. Everything on the Patrol is either standard off the shelf hardware, or something I can fabricate...
The cost estimates were definitly based on new engines, new props, new high end avionics etc etc. I'm sure if you could find a good deal on a used engine and prop, and very basic VFR...
Yeah, in deep virgin snow the little 26" shoes I've got are worse than plain boots. Not only do I sink down to my knees with them, but the snow falls in on top of them making it that much harder to...
I'll definitly check out those bindings. I've got the traditional leather straps and they're a pain to get into, especially in deep snow.
I've also got a set of Powder Wings compact shoes. ...
My mission is in between. I don't need Cub off airport performance, but do want to go into some slightly rough shorter strips. But I want to do cross countries in a reasonable time too. That's why...
I just have a pair of the old military suplus ones, but thought I'd post a picture of them in my Challenger for for laughs. :)

My resources list the Husky airfoil as the Clark Y/USA 35B? Does it change across the span? But I've seen both the Husky and Cubs listed as a "modified Clark Y" before, which is what the USA series...
It certainly does make it easier to retrieve dropped hardware. Not to mention control inspections and lubrication. But I'm always paranoid I'm going to put a foot through the fabric, or bend a...
I don't know about easier....
Back to the original issue, has anyone talked with the FBO pilots who recommended closing it? As stated before, they probably have no tailwheel time. And who knows, maybe they do have a valid...
Holy Cow! can you come do my place next?
Phil
You know, most of use could probably save more pilot weight with a little effort than we could trim off our planes. Certainly true in my case! ;)
Phil
My current plane doesn't have floor boards at all. Just heel cups on the base of the rudder pedals. :D
