Your first question should be, "Is there any Canadian or US STC which allows for a 160 hp engine on a 12?"
The only one I know of wouldn't apply to just any old 12.

Yes, but if the polarity gets reversed, isn't the fuselage then "hot"? If so, wouldn't the fuse would be on the wrong side of the diode?
Getting back to the original issue, did you figure out...
Which side of the diode would you put a breaker if either side could be "hot"?
Sorry, but I have to ask, too: Why would you go through the time and expense necessary to rebuild a 21 that has no significant "history," when, at the end of your "years" of labor, you have an...
Just curious, how much do you think it is going to cost you to get it back in the air?
Also, if you don't mind, what did the project cost you so far?
I asked Wip about the "new" floats after I read that they were making "composite" 1450 floats, hoping they would be certified for a Cessna 140A.
"No, they are not making composite floats," and...
I believe a guy named Dale Ferenbach out of the Detroit Lakes area was giving dual in an amphib 12.
You may want to give him a call to see how he got around the weight limitation issues. I think...
Not to be too snarky, but as great as Wips Amphibs are, the weight penalty renders a Wip Amphib equipped PA-12 aircraft virtually useless. The ones I've seen are placcarded by the FAA to restrick...
When I had my auto accident in '08, if EMT didn't get to me within minutes I wouldn't have survived because I was going into shock.
I don't know if your friend had any injuries from the landing,...
Anyone know where it was filmed? What beautiful scenery!
It seems to me that the CC gap seals would trap sand, small stones, and other debris, too. And if debris did get between the seal and the tubing/fabric, wouldn't it act like sandpaper and wear out...
This is probably a dumb question, but if a "Shunt" is a fuse, couldn't you use a circuit breaker in its place?
And another: why do you need a "shunt" at all if you have a breaker sized for the...
Where does one get the cabin insulation that is sticky on one side and aluminum "foil" on the other and aviation application approved? I am restoring a Cessna 140A and would like to insulate the...
You may want to consider putting in some sort of support bracket for back of the radios.
That sure looks like a beautiful place to be laid to rest, or better yet, just laid.
Is this it?

Although I am frequently wrong, I was always under the impression that pa-12s were originally assigned N numbers which always ended with a M or H, as in N3788M or N7979H.
I found a real nice set of 2000 barrels with spreader bars and Areonca Sedan rigging.
i called Erik at Kenmore and he quoted $9,000 for pa-12 rigging.
I'm buying a brand new set of 2000s this...
How would you turn off the strobes in lighting conditions that make their use undesirable if they aren't switched?
Was that a "one-time" STC for 2580M?
Fascinating!!!
A split second would have made a huge difference... Had the prop struck the SUV's roof the driver and his passenger would have been sliced meat.
Light Spray of silicone on the mandrel tip and the fittings' threads worked for me.
Thanks for the quick response.
Does anyone know the original angle of tilt of the PA12 instrument panel as measured when the plane is levelled and the firewall is at 90 degrees? I'm making a new boot cowl and I don't have the...
