Could have been, anything is possible. The aircraft had the Madras droop tips removed and a more "Hornier" type tip installed and performance was improved.

I agree with the aft CG is better. My experience is that aft CG gives higher speed for the same power and it also flys better slow and can land slower too. The problem with 99% of the mods on cubs is...
You will never regret buying 31's
I have landed with a flat tire before and it's not a big deal. Other than user inflicted damage I have not seen any major failures. Great support from the gang...
Get a copy of the PA-18 parts book, Get the northland CD, And use this website for some of the drawings http://www.supercubproject.com/drawings/default.aspx, and go look at every supercub you can and...
Jerry Burr has proved many times over the years that HP alone does not win STOL contests. His 0-200 powered cub is quite impressive.

The "ANY OTHER" part of the TCDS does not allow for non certified props, sorry guys...... :-( What it means is that you can install any other certified wood prop even if it's not on the TCDS for...
Yup, same parts
An O-360 has the same bore diameter but has a different case, camshaft, crankshaft, sump, and carb. The 320-360 conversion is called an engine swap :)
If you want an 180hp 0-340 like the carbon...
I think the stud kit is up to around $1200 now. When using the banana plates on the narrow deck engines you need longer cylinder hold down studs. All 160hp and up narrow deck engines have the banana...
all 8.5:1 (160 hp) and higher compression ratio engines have chrome or nitrated cylinders. The standard steel cylinders do not hold up that long with high compression cylinders before you begin to...
Huh.... I thought only the 0-290 D2 135hp was the smallest Lyc the Borer prop was approved on.

Not that big of a deal. A good Tig welder can fix that with out any fabric work required. The broken ends can be tacked back into place and then a strap welded over them. A better but more time...
On the big continentals I have no experience but for the small lycomings it seems to be an improvement
Not sure about approval but that is how mine was repaired and yellow tagged many years ago...
Ummm.... I think the decimal point is in the wrong place. Should be $50. No way it takes more than 1/2 hr, more like 15 min. You can do that standing on a bushwheel using the crappy screw driver on...
I'd say thats good news but the root of the problem related to accidents is not lack of instrumentation it's lack of training and poor decision making skills.
I'll am still of the opinion that...
Try putting a load on when the noise appears. Do straight up pull and a turn and pull.
Do you have an external vacuum Venturi? those whistle at certain speeds too. Is it just noise or is there a...
Check the windshield side retaining strips for looseness. If you're missing a screw or some have backed out those strips will buzz or make "air noise" if loose. Also look for loose inspection covers...
I have seen some OK looking alum floors and thought I would like to try it to see if i can improve on what I have seen. I have some ideas for a removable .020" top floor board skin that sits on a...
look for a specialty plywood supply or cabinet shop in your town. The high end furniture/cabinet shops usually have some good 5 or 7 ply clear 1/4" plywood. Or you can put a metal floor board in....
I took the filter off and went back to the screen. Put the tail wheel on a barrel so the engine is somewhat level or nose down and the oil drains back into the case from the screen housing. You also...
I'm with Glenn on this one. Never cared for electric anything when related to flight controls. Just like most people prefer manual to electric flaps I prefer manual to electric trim.
I don't like...
It's not recommended to use superseam glue on tapes. The iron will stick it back down. If anything brush either butyrate thinner or MEK over the area to soften the dope and work the tape smooth first...
Finishing tapes should be applied to the surface as if they were just like masking tape with the inside of the rolled surface face down. The natural curve of the tape will help to avoid having the...
I think the colors you are looking for are Juneau White and Pontiac Red which is what most of the 60's cubs had.
Insignia white is the super bright white and Tennessee Red is heading towards the...
