Anybody know what type of "warbirds" are participating in the show. The flyer doesn't give any specifics. That's a pretty cool deal for Valdez. Mike-

Rich and Ginger Davidson (Lee Bottom owners) are good friends of mine. Rich has some out-of0the-box insights that would solve a lot of the problems aviation is facing. problem is, they're probably...

WanaB, We're actually staying at the lodge on Elmendorf Friday night and leaving Anchorage Saturday afternoon, so that make it easy for you! I was on a layover at Elmendorf last week for half a day...

My pleasure, after 23 years I'm pretty sure I may be too institutionalized to do anything else. The problem with meeting some genuinely neat folks on our trip is that my wife will then consider it...

Fortunately, that particular Mustang is now owned by airshow pilot Eddie Andreini https://bay157.mail.live.com/default.aspx?moptout=true. I've never flown a 51 (from the front), but have a good...

I've been wearing CEPs since 2002 in helicopters and fixed wing helmets. They can't compare to a nice set of Bose or Zulus, but if you wearing any type of a helmet (Gentex, Gallett) you get much...

SJ,

All the above comments are true, J3-cub.com caters largely to the antique purist, but it has a lot of insitutionalk knowledge and archived value as that. Maybe just an extra room titled...

Dana,

Thanks for the offer, I'll be sure to give you a call after the holidays...when I get home from Afghanistan:o)

Guys,

Thanks for all the useful inputs. Sounds like the only thing I'll be missing is the nostalgia of the J-3, but the PA-18-95 appears to fill our need for simplicity but with a couple more...

I guess I was referring more to the flying characteristics. As I said, my J-3 other than the stock interior is fairly heavy with the 8.50s, Clevelands, Scot 3200, etc. However, it doesn't have the...

And that's the other problem...anyone know of a reputable contact for a good, honest, pre-buy near OSH? WA to WI is too far to go to find out it's not as advertised:o)

Cubbers,

I'm considering coming over to the SC darkside, selling my J-3 for a stock PA-18-95. I'm wondering what kind of performance I can expect from a light 18-95. My J-3 climbs and cruises like...

So in theory, I should get similar performance out of my C-85/O-200 powered J-3 with 26" Airstreaks right? I've got 8.50s and a Scott 3200 that do fine right now, but there's several rough grass...

I know this is a blatant thread drift. but does anyone know of an STC that will allow the installation of a manual flap system on a T-craft F-19 similar to the F-21/22? I'm considering buying this...

I never thought much of T-Crafts, and it would take something significant for me to part with my J-3 that I've put so much work (and money) into. However, I've been hangar sitting a Taylorcraft F-19...

Pete and Rowena Mason at Santa Paula also have a yellow J-3. Rowena's easy to find as she's the airport manager, and Pete has a SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) card and does a fair amount of movie flying,...

The same one Dave, looking forward to meeting you in person. Now I just have to figure out how to get the Cub and Stearman to Thun.

Everything is now set in stone and the website is up! www.thuncubsandclassics.com Come help us paint Thun (KPLU) yellow for our PNW flavored celebration of the 75th anniversary of the J-3 Cub.

I've always used SuperCoat to polish/condition my fabric each season, and like the container of Morton's salt that lasts for a decade, I've had my same bottle of SuperCoat since 2006. I finally ran...

My A-65 spit frothy oil on the gear, and my new C-85/O-200 does the same thing, and I even installed the elbow mod when I put the new engine on.. I just wipe the gear down after each flight. What is...

I know it's a SC forum, but thought some of you local guys might be interested. We've put a date on the wall of Saturday August 18th for the First Annual Thun Field J-3 Cub Fly-In. (KPLU, Puyallup,...
