Jim, I have a Super Cub fuselage, all aluminum 14 rib wing, one 18 gallon tank in the left wing and absolutely bare bones on everything. I used univair drawings and used the stock piper airfoil. I...

Bob barrows told me a few years back that he didn't like to have to re trim after adding flaps and that is why he uses a plain flap design. If you can add flaps and not have to retrim, that tells me...
I'm all about saving weight! I might have to save a little money I guess and just get the Oratex. An extra 1,500$ to save 5-8 lbs would make a big difference on an lsa.
If you go by what the book says and use 10 gallons of poly brush, 10 gallons of poly spray and use aero thane to finish painting it I can easily see a 60 lb cover job. I used the minimum on mine and...
A friend gave this to me. Not all of the fabric systems are listed but it is interesting. It looks like the oratex is hands down the winner weight wise. Kind of spendy though.
Jim, Its good to see another person building a 90 supercub. I have never heard of anyone that ever had or has a 90 supercub/pa11 that doesn't speak very highly of it. I sure have enjoyed the one I...
Here are some pics of the Clyde Ice book.
A good friend of mine that passed away last year had a career in aerial hunting. He told me that he started out with a 65hp j-3 right after WW2 and worked his way up to a 150 supercub. It sure was...
. Clint, we may need you to probe Ellsworth AFB radar and defenses. Can you do it?[/QUOTE]
At least one time! And if I make it back, I'll let you know where thier weak spots are!
A guy I know down here had an old VHS video of hunting "flea bags" The video quality was bad but it was sure fun to watch. That guys gunner could shoot 2-3 shots in front of the struts and 1 from...
According to the kitplanes article, he modified the bottom of the 2412 from being flat to having a slight convex. I guess I will have to ask him next time I see him.
So here's a thought to start some wild controversy: If I understand correctly, the Maule airfoil is the same as the cub, only the bottom is exactly flat? Why not take that one step further and add...
How about a demonstration on how we take care of coyotes up here?!?!?! !!!;-)
I also have an o-320 a2b that I hope has more time on it, but I am considering upgrading it to a b2b. About what kind of cost will Gann do it for?
Hi Bill, It is a bit late in the game for you on seats, but you may consider the seats out of a rans S-7. If I remember right, they weigh around 4 lbs all up, are really comfy, and could be...
Dan, I sure would like to, but it will be hard to say. I wanted to go in the worst way last year, and watching everyone leave from Spearfish and not going along was tough! Ray, any praire dog hunting...
Hi Ray, I'm sure that me and Larry will probably come, Let me know if you need help. Clint
Don't worry, I'm trying to razz SJ !!!

It has a variable speed rheostat so any speed that you need. I'm using an 80 grit belt right now and higher speeds seem to be better with it. I've been really surprized how many times I have used it....
I recently got this knife makers 2X72 belt sander from Beaumont Metal Works.You can get profiling wheels from 1/2" up to 8". It really made quick work coping out the joint for this set of gear that I...
I have the c-85 pistons in my c-90 and always have so I don't have much experience with any other setup, but the biggest performance gain I say was in going away from the 2-into-1 sytle exhaust and...
