Pundy...I have not finished (or started for that matter) the strip. I'm unsure of the regulations for beach landings but many of them are remote so I wouldn't worry about it too much. The west...

Pundy, I have a place in Cape Breton, about 20 minutes from CYPD (Port Hawkesbury) which has a 5000' runway and avgas. You will absolutely want to fly around the Cabot Trail. Amazing scenery. Plenty...

Obviously he has a good trainer. Well done Rene....to both of you!!

I run my 26" Goodyears tubeless with two piece matco rims. Matco also sells the valve and o ring. You need to use several ounces of notubes sealant which is sold by ABW. I run at 7 lbs, never...

Took me 5 years to build my plane and one of these days I'll total up all the Aircraft Spruce receipts. I swear I kept them afloat for a few years. I can't say enough about the great service...never...

Copilot to Pilot: "May Day, May Day...no strip in sight...all I can see is the valley between the mountains..."

I spent some time on David Ellis' website today and Gunny was kind enough to answer a couple of questions I had...called me all the way from the west coast...gotta love this forum;-)

Then I spent...

That chart looks wild today with all that tornado activity in the midwest...would hate to be in that funnel you can now see there.

Tom, in that first video, was the low fly by, Zinck Airfield?

Thx

Clark, thanks for the pics...the next time my cowl is off I'll get some pics and post them of my current set-up. Looking at your pics again I'm not sure your set-up will work with my carb. The...

Hi Clark,

Could you do me a favor and measure the distance between your firewall and the aft most bolt that holds your carb to the oil sump? I wrestled mightily with how to do these connections...

Mine are tubeless and I keep them at about 8 psi...that seems to work really well for me. I'm at about 1500 pounds with full fuel.

I have the 26”goodyears and don't noticeany grab. I also use them tubeless with 6 inch Matco, two part rims. Matco sells a “tubeless“ kit for two part rims that is essentially an O ring and a valve....

Outstanding photos, music and presentation. Well done.

Steve,

The problem with Vans bracket and the O 235 and O 290 is not so much the oil sump but the carb. You can see in the pic you posted above the indentation in the O 235 oil sump. The O 290 is...

The bracket from Vans will not fit an O 235. The bottom of the O 235 oil sump that the bracket sits against is different than an O 320, there are also a few other subtle differences. The brackets...

Craig and Deb, great job I know the feeling!!!

Stan's stuff from www.notubes.com really works!! It just so happened that I had just mounted a set of 26" Goodyears on my 6" Matco rims a few days before this thread was started. Matco sells a simple...

...OK it's not a Cub, but this is a great story. Clarence "Stearnie" Stearns flew a B-17 in WWII, got shot down and was a POW. In his late 80's he decided he wanted to build a plane...so he did...a...

Sam, great job and excellent video of the adventure. Keep those dreams alive...

I have turbine products as well. Nice system. get the full face fresh air mask. Also get plenty of the plastic mask covers that keep the spray off the mask. You will use one or two each time you...

If you haven't painted be very careful with silicone, you wil never get paint to adhere. Try a polyurethane sealant like PL: http://www.stickwithpl.com/products/detail.asp?PLProductID=21

You can...

I have the Caspar Labs version on my O 235-L2C. Fit was no problem, no spacer needed. My kit came complete with a Champion filter which was not the short version but you can use one of those if you...

I don't know much about painting but I do know that the Graco 3800 Turbine made the stuff I painted look like it was done by a pro. I used an epoxy undercoat and ranthane paint...came out really...
