Search - Seattle World Cruiser. This is their second project. First was a mostly stock PA-18. Had fuel problems in Russia. Would make things a lot easier to go diesel power. Fuel everywhere. Jerry B.

Yes it has been tested. And I would say there is no pat answer. The same aircraft in different configurations ( build-ups, mods) likes different answers. You find the coarse answer then fine tune...
I run into this issue every fall / winter. Maybe you are finally getting some of the same crappy car gas that we have to live with down here. The bottom of my cowl is stained yellow from all the gas...
Hi Randy. If you want the numbers for YOUR aircraft I would suggest. "Performance Flight Testing" By Hubert "SKIP" Smith. TAB Books Inc. Modern Aviation Series. Copyright 1982. ISBN 0-8306-2340-X ...
Thanks Steve. As you can see the oil temp in galley feeding the engine never changes,(at a constant power setting ) even when the screen gage says it's 30 degrees colder. The other thing that...
I think Piper was trying to make the Fed feel better. It looked good and no one checked it. I ran one for many years, even had a control to limit the cold air and keep the temp right on 190 deg. The...
Hi Dave. The oil screen baffle only changes the temp on the gage. Doesn't change the oil temp one degree. If it makes you feel better by all means use it. Can send you the data. Was posted on here...
Looking for someone close to Trukee to recieve a resupply box and deliver it to us in June on the Pacific Crest Trail. Couldn't find any other thread close to this need. Jerry B. flycubs at...
Tempdoug. Can't make it. We are going to backpack the northern 1/2 of Calif. Pacific Crest trail this summer. From Yosemite to the Oregon border. 760 miles in 42 days. Not much time to do anything...
The simple and accurate method is to paint a white stripe on the inside of your left tire. Fasten a small camera on your right gear looking at the left tire. Pencil or sports type camera. Measure the...
Via Jet at BVS. ( Bayview / Skagit Regional ) has LL now. Cheaper than at Corporate Air. Jerry B.
Hi Ryan. I have two things you may think about. With a short pitchy prop you have large power pulses ( air pulses ) going past a rather flat sided airframe. Above a certain rpm it will set up a...
I would vote for door #1. The 90 cam has a rounder profile and therefore milder valve action. The pointey O-200 cam will give more upper cyl wear per turn. The only way I know to increase duration is...
Up swept versus Down swept tips.
I had some of these same questions a while back and came up with these answers. If anyone else has done similar research on the matter I would be glad to read it....
If the Husky test pilot actually felt that a different tip on each wing was a valid test, I seriously doubt any data that comes from Aviat. Dave Calkins is correct. Jerry B.
How about you guys go fly a Cessna. Jerry B.
Some different suggestions. Forget the car. Light sleeping bag. (some mornings are cold) Light 1 or 2 man tent. (privacy) Jet Boil (use only to heat water, no clean up) 1 spoon (all you need)...
12 Geezer. Front center
Nimpo Cub. I'd be guessing. I have never had anything to do with floats. Sorry. Jerry B.
12 Geezer. I try to keep it simple. Two squares, a 24" and a little carpenter. Lay the long side of the big one up against the bottom of the wing and slide it back till it hits the leading edge. Then...
Tempdoug. I haven't taken the time to learn how to post pictures. It's a Cal Center cuff, with Micro's at 1.1% of chord. The rpm's have changed over the years. Used to be 1800 then 900 with a foray...
Skywagon8a. V.G.’s are no benefit anywhere around the Cub flaps. For one thing, there is minimal air through the slot. It doesn’t work like it looks like it should. At partial flap settings there...
Hi Folks. I have spoken to this subject before, but I guess that thread is long gone as it was many years ago. On the subject of V.G.’s. There are many reliable sources, experts and people who know...
Hi Dick. I guess it's time for me to get in on this. You are correct. With the BLR V.G.'s back at 10% of the chord you're not going to need V.G.'s under the tail or seals on the elevators and the...
Hi. If she is willing to make her life easier by getting good gear, I suggest you get used to spending the money or look for a different girlfriend. I just spent the $300 for the quart sized sleeping...
Becky may have lost her wallet at the NWSC Fly-in at Concrete on Friday evening. It is just a slim red leather credit card holder. ID inside would say Rebecca Goodell, just in case someone found it...
