Some dumb ass "mechanics" cut off the left rear rudder pedal partially on our SC way back rather than just fix the thing correctly. Didn't matter to me as we made new rudder pedals and cables during...
We have the Cubcrafters STC to install a 160 hp O-320 in a Super Cub.
Does the Lycon STC cover narrow deck engines?
We rebuilt our narrow deck engine from 150 to 160 hp in 2003. So, perhaps the FAA has published or revised some rules in the last ten years. Back then, I called Bob Lutz who had (and possibly still...
We changed to 160 hp with a log book entry. All inside the TCDS - minor change, wide or narrow deck.
I'm curious why you want a 70 amp alternator. Does your max electrical load add up to near 80% of the 70 amp capacity? (56 amps?). Are you running a heated seat or something like that which takes a...
To install a 160hp O-320 in a Super Cub using the Cubcrafters STC, the carb required is a -32, with a straight riser.
There is no advantage to a narrow deck and no particular disadvantage. Lycoming...
Wondering what sort of loading would pull that apart - on skis?
It is correct to stamp a "C" when making a change without an STC. Don't know about what happens with an STC. Basically, the "C" tells folks to look at the log book for more details.
Yes, right it was at Everts. Has that one been restored?
It doesn't require an STC to go from 150 to 160 hp, narrow or wide deck. Just re-stamp the data plate and make a log book entry. Both variations are on the same TCDS -- no STC required. But it does...
Is this the plane that was on the North side of Fairbanks airport a few years ago in the cargo plane area?
I have a combined 1.25 degree toe in on a PA-18. Should be zero. Wore out a pair of 8.5x6 tires unevenly in about 600 landings on pavement. I figure not worth trying to strong arm it to alignment....
Thanks for the comment Mike. See you Sunday afternoon.
I use #6 screws in nut plates, about 70 of them around the stainless steel Atlee Dodge firewall.
Make a poster board pattern then cut the aluminum out of 5052 or 2024 aluminum, I like 5052 with top piece .032 thick, side/bottom pieces .025 thick. I like the three piece version and one that you...
Original 1950 Super Cub -- not rewelded. Sorry, these are the best I have. Hope they are useful.

SJ's rule of thumb would work perfectly if the brake specific fuel consumption were 0.40 lb/(hp-hr) and the % power were 75%. The rule is the same as saying that the fuel burn in US gallons is .05...
Still, most updated SCs I've seen have welded on shoulder harness brackets. I once called Atlee to ask about his bolt on bracket. I had talked to him before and he knew the plane was apart. He said,...
Can I get a poster size copy of that picture?
The inspiration seems to be a marriage of the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch gear & wing with a Cub fuselage - not a bad idea.
Just saw this on the AOPA Website. Pretty Impressive!

Sorry I can't help. It turns out that Windonhisnose has some other brand of Oil Filter - not an Airwolf.
