Oh Boy!! We're sure going to have some fun..............

Dang, thanks Andrew,
I'd actually say you described many of the guys and gals in this group....at least the hell raising and packing beer part. Sure has been a fun ride.

Ralph and Melissa,
Thanks for all your effort in making a great time, Cow Creek dinner was unreal, flying and scenery super. Bighorn Sheep, Antelope, Deer, Coyotes and every kind of bird to see. ...

Dave, Great Job!
What a awsome fun time. Was great to see old friends again and get to know new people and old friends better. Weather and flying was great, and scenery was mind boggling. ...

fighter,
I think John Mulek and Nick Smith (of Smith Cubs) were putting a kit together for just what you're doing. Saw the airplane at SNF this spring. Looks like a good idea. It was planned...

I have to say that Dave has the nicest riding suburban I've ever driven........er' flown. Didn't even spill my beer. Lesson learned....... #1 These guys in Montana can drive faster on deep snow...

Just spoke to Dean in Miles City and it sounds like Dean, AgPilot Dave, Jr. Hammak, Rick Papp and Old Cubby Jim are telling some pretty good lies in a watering hole in town. They made it in fine from...

Joe,
Yes, the "Yellow Shirt Year" was a good year. Although the skunk works wouldn't have been as successful without the cooling problem help, and our trip for the hair dryer. The mix was a...

Tim, I'll forever laugh about that deal.... and I don't think anyone could have put on an act like you and Grant did that day... hook, line, and sinker :)

Tim, Thanks, but I think I'm going to stay with the 0-320 to keep costs and weight down.

Steve, Thanks, Now I know I can look further into this engine. Did you have to change the engine data...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but couldn't find it. I'm looking for a rebuildable 160 hp 0-320 core and in the process ran accross an 0-320 B1A. What I've read makes reference to the last...

I've been looking for a better auto darkening helmet, with adjustable shade, and the better one's seemed to be running over $300. Found one yesterday that Jackson makes called the "Nitro" (part #...

Jerry,
Kirby has the best and most simple solution to preparing your floor, although it can get expensive, relatively speaking. A minimum cost in our area for an open clear floor is around $.60...

This has been an interesting read. The weight questions finally caused me to weigh mine (thanks for the prod Matt). My 185 is a 61' (serial no. 12) that I bought 15 years ago, 2600 hours TT now. ...

Steve,

Sure had a good time and was great to catch up with everyone. Thanks for the help hauling all the iron up and back from the hanger. Finally had a load the cub couldn't haul. Thanks to Lou...

Stopped by and talked to a pattern maker friend tonight and think there's a real simple fix to it, without making a mold or getting the lathe going. Will let you know.

I just made a call to Plaschem in Anchorage (nice people) to see if they still made some type of spout for the swiss water bags, and a fellow there mentioned that they no longer manufactured them. ...

1st was a 46' J-3 project for $1,750.00 in 1973. Sold it in 1974 for $4,800. 2nd was a 52 PA18-150 in 1975 for $5,200.

Well, that big blender did take a group effert to get the bugs out....Cajon Joe to help pick out the motor cooling unit (hair dryer), Boz's hole saw and scat tube, and of course the install crew. ...

Doug and Sharon have been close friends for many years. It's quite a loss.... Reminds us all to be carefull.
Wilbur

The FAA registry shows that Doug Ward, that owns Log Cabin Airport, owns NC26991. I think he has 4 or 5 cubs that he restored.
Wilbur

Christina,
I'm guessing as Rob mentioned with the racing tires, it's the rubber compound type. For cars or motorcycles, you can buy tires that are softer, more flexible and grip better, that...

Joe,
That looks like a fun idea, although the 10 beer magazine would be a little small....... Also, who in our group could catch them after 2 or 3 ? :drinking:

Wilbur

I'm dying laughing here :lol: I remember you mentioning how it got off better with the mod. And I've used that same braking method.....just wasn't on ski's :D
Wilbur

Brian,
I just re-read and caught something....what did you mean by "what not to do" :D Not sure if I've really learned all of those yet....although I've tried :D
