I have VG's on the wings but not under the tail. I didn't want rocks knocking the VG's off the tail and taking the paint and fabric with it. I flew my cub like that for about 300hrs.

I put the...

Thanks Gordon. Glad you and Steve made the trip. Nice job on your -12. Here's a picture of Jim Pekola's tailwheel. Nice and light!

I ordered an experimental set today.

DW's been recommending them for a while now. I have vg's on my wings but I didn't put the vg's under the tail. I didn't want rocks knocking them off under...

Glad your coming Gunny. The only thing better than one Marine is three Marines! Man, that was fun last year.

Carey has his eye on me this year. He wasn't very impressed with the way I introduced...

The Northwest Aviation Conference and trade show is big this year.

That was a great time!! Here's one of the spots you landed with my fat behind aboard. Your the master.
Thanks for a great time.

Sounds like fun. I'm in for Sunday.

My ECI cylinders came with a note saying something like:
" this cylinder is ready to install, but if you think you know more about our cylinders than we do, do your thing."

I resisted the...

I just wanted to give credit to Craig Catto for taking it on himself to change out my 82x41 prop.
I had one of the originals and it was a great prop without any problems with the exception of the...

" it will indicate 92 mph at 2450 rpm and 105 mph at 2700 rpm"

Interesting Darrel, I have a 160hp, 82/41 Catto prop, 31" bushwheels, vinyl bungee covers, and this exhaust.
I get 92mph at 2450 and...

I'm happy flying off the last 20%. I love worn out bushwheels!

Binty. Be careful not to get anything on the float balls. They can stick causing a straw effect. Your gauges could show 1/4 tank of fuel remaining after you have demonstrated your gliding skills. My...

I'm glad the damage was minor. I've been told it is better to run off the end of a gravel bar into the water than it is to nose over in the gravel. This one flipped in the water and didn't get hurt...

They won't mind if we bomb the flowers will they?

Hard to know for sure. They didn't seem very impressed when I introduced them to a couple of fine Marines like yourselves. Thanks for the excellent gift. We almost polished it off. Steve made it out...

Damn that was fun! Might have been a little drunk out. :oops: Made some new friends. Always great to see you guys! Thanks.

Not a problem. My hangar is heated and Carey's hangar has room also. Not to mention the house. Gunny, don't worry about bringing anything except what you plan to sip on.
Are you flying down Bill?...

We are looking forward to a great turnout for the annual BBQ at Thun field Sat. Feb 25th. Spencer Aircraft has new owners and will be providing the shuttle service to and from the fair grounds. In...

I dislike the wiggling motorcycle headlights a little bit more than the harsh blinking LED wig wag lights. Both of them kind of bug me for some reason. The slow wig wag lights with stock lamps look...

A bunch of us used to go to SnF every year when I lived in the southeast. We would make plans months ahead. We had a ball and it seemed like every year was better than the last one. Then, all of a...

Another great thing about the stock location is the bug line is lower on the L.E. wing so they VG's don't collect bugs. I am sure they did alot of testing but they use the PA-18 template on other...

I've always wondered why the FAA doesn't just certify the manufacturing companies. If the engineering, manufacturing and testing departments are up to snuff, the company should be able to build away....

Lol! I had forgotten how that guy hounded me to buy his flap handle for my cub! Some guys just beg you to show them your a$$.

Beautiful!!!

I agree with that because the flap can be overstressed very easily.
