"epoxy varnish" is a misnomer. Don't get me wrong, the Polyfiber product in particular is an excellent product. In my understanding, it is an epoxy resin formulated with relatively low viscosity for...

...Hi Bill, a couple of things come to mind.

1. is that a removable front panel for your upper baggage? ...or is it permanent fabric stretched across there? ...point is......I know if I bought...

..."dangerous", in that unconventional handling can get one in trouble.

....dragging the tails on landing, and takeoff.

.....step taxi handling oddities.

.....plow-taxi/transition handling...

......to the detriment of takeoff performance.

......and with some unconventional, and dare I say, even dangerous handling traits.

Hi Dale. I have the drawings and a couple of the doublers.

I am on my rotation at Kulik Lodge for several more days, but will be back in town next week. It's Saturday evening as I write this.

......I'm just glad that the aluminum Husky gear leg fairings will acceptably "cloodge" onto 3" extended Cub gear. :)

I have a set of Husky gear leg fairings. They are very simple sheet metal...seems like about .020" thick aluminum.

The photo of the yellow J3 that "docstory" shared, above, also shows a short...

Hey, I own the EXACT SAME COUCH!!

...not sure I can make it, but it sounds like some more fun and a reason and place to be.

Super Koropon.......anyone can walk into the local auto-refinisher paint store and buy it off the shelf in Anchorage.....We are blessed :)

..good point SB.
You 19 are different than mine.
okay.....half of my 19 are arrivals to the same place you call home. The others are often rough and sometimes off camber.....whatever.

Still....

Sometimes I'll dump flaps on a 180/185 when I'm still 6 inches off the ground. ...gotta get that SPOT.....cause there might not be very much runway up ahead.........and, hey, accuracy is cool!,...

EDIT: Rob, I painted the wings, so I will be carrying that weight.

Some of us like so much rudder and elevator travel that we make them bigger than the stock ones. :)

The answer to my trick question is:

...why are you looking at the ASI on short final? .....and I was wondering why it took 50 feet to get stopped, too! No offense....aktahoe! Maybe it was high...

PS.....that was a trick question! :)

....what was your airspeed on short final?????

To clarify my statement.........I agree wholeheartedly that fairing that tube will reduce drag.

The question becomes.."...with the the front and rear tubes of the gear vee in tandem as they are on...

Not sure about the efficacy of this when there are multiple tubes lined up with each other in our cub legs....Seems like covering the whole vee would do the trick of fairing it as well as...

I shouldn't bother to get into it with our host about dumping or not.

The 180 flap ratchet system will eventually wear and could allow the flaps to drop after you've retracted them. It could also...
