[QUOTE=12Geezer2;565717], I recently delivered one for a fellow that was an overweight PIG. (too many bells and whistles)

bet you won't think its a pig now Dan,,,,,

mix 25-30% butasolve with the pigmanted paint then thin and spray. Works great everytime if the old dope is bonded and clean. We usually go over the whole job with water and ajax to remove any old...

Glen, Your exactly right except that you guys mostly fly in deep snow on lakes. We fly on hard drifted snow that is more like pressure ridges than snow after it has blown around then thawed then...

I put 3" extended on my 90 hp -18 just because I fly on skis at times. With 31s you get pretty good AOA on stock gear but go to Skis and you can't get her to claw out of the snow near as well...

Screw it,,,just do it!!!!! :lol:

Metal Ailerons do not seem to be a effective as fabric and the thinking is it is due to the non flat surface of the the skins. Flaps should work about the same IMO since they are more of a air dam.
...

Tal, It should be a non issue if you have used all piper parts or as is my case Dakota cub and piper. Anyone who says flaps don't help a 90 hp cub either don't like flaps or has not flown one with...

Those scratches if only on the top side of the pistons when they are installed are caused from dry starts. When you let the engine sit to long all the oil will drain off the tops and when you start...

Brian, I thought you were building a -11 ? My -90 is about ready that would be a fun trip taking it back to its home country.

Alan Kasemodel "Kase" in Billings Mt might be interested.

Dave

Yeah but we have been to a few that tried!

She is shopping the wrong crowd if thats what she is looking for:lol:

Dave

looks like maybe it needs to move forward a bit to me also. You might have to move your brake lines a bit but I think I have mine almost touching the back side of the cabane.

The real question is where to store 5 boxes of shotgun shells where they wont spill and be in easy reach when you get in a flurry!!

Learned to fly in a Super Cub Sprayed a couple years with one and have hunted coyotes for over 25 years with one...Never shut both switches off but I have killed one mag a couple times. Never had a...

Big fire 30 miles South of me has now burned 255,000 acres over 20 homes some cattle to many Barns and out buildings to mention and thousands of miles of fence. Bet I'm busy with the cub looking for...

106 here today with SE winds 20-30k The big fire just south of me was at 200,000 acres as of this morning. Can't wait for this summer to be OVER or for it to rain, I'll take -30 over this any day....

As long as you have enough battery to run the boost pump the big Continentals will hand prop I just hate the 2 cylinders that come up at 12-6 or there abouts. One thing you do want is a fire...

Slips are fun BUT when its cold out and your just puttering around looking for this and that on the ground its real nice to have flaps so you can keep the heater up front making heat and not carb...

Steve you had a stuck valve here also and it was 111 last week here. Highest temp ever recorded in Miles City. 100 feels cool this year!
Dave

Yes the fuselage on a 18-95 has all the cable fittings in place for flaps. You will need flaps,bell cranks, cables and pulleys and a flap handle. You also have to cut the fabric behind the tank...

Mike that looks like a 5 cylinder radial of some kind,,,Doubt you could index that prop so it would always come up on compression horizontal,,, I hand prop R-985 quite a bit and with a low wing spray...

What county?

dave

Steve check to make sure the Balance Tube across the fromt of the engine has tight clamps and something didn't rub a hole in it.. Had that happen on a Ag-Truck once and it ran fine but had weird...

Deano & company make it out ? Its blowing 30-40 here but the vis & ceiling is good so far... BBQ ribs are about done,,,,guess I know what I'll be eating for the next few days,,,,Oh Darn!!!!!
