G'day mates!

I own a Super Cub in Alaska and have a good feel for what they are worth, given condition and mods. I don't know the market in Australia though, and I would like to know what Super...

I agree Alex. It looks like Jen did a great job. The tracks indicate she was heading to the high beach to the left of where the plane came to rest. If she hadn't caught soft sand, perhaps they...

Shaun Lunt is having some fun! I really enjoyed the picture show.

Steve,

I didn't realize you were standing there with Jay and Sandy. By the way, I came to your booth three times at the AK Trade Show to meet you, but no luck. I'll catch you another time.

tempdoug ~ I can't blame the wind for what happened to me. It was just part of the circumstances of the situation. The Carbon Cub really was exceptional and would be with wind or no wind.

It was me who put my cub on its nose. It was and is very embarrassing. I'm sorry to all who were there. As I was exiting from the temporary STOL area to taxi, I turned and the good headwind became...

Sounds like good advise. How do I get it out? By removing the floor boards?

6" gear puts a lot of stress on the attach points.

My right brake pedal (in a Super Cub) is apparently bent from force, perhaps 3/4" forward. What's the easiest way to bend it back. The pedal assembly is not very accessible, so I'd like a method to...

Use the search engine on this site. 'nough said.

You want Jay Baldwin of Alaska's Cub Training Specialists in Palmer. He flies 747's for his "day" job and Cubs for fun.

Have fun, Erik

The Thrustline mod corrects the "nose down" of the engine/prop and puts it roughly in-line with the fuselage. Does the Pacer have the same problem as the PA-18?

That is for sure Gulkana Airport near Glennallen, Alaska

I'd just go put the darn thing on a scale and get the actual weight and balance if there are any doubts.

I had one mechanic try to use a different datum (yep, there are official references to the...

In Alaska we have a new program called "The Medallion Foundation". They provide a 6 hr orientation course. One thing they use is the actual recording of a Super Cub flight here in Alaska back in...

High Country - I think your pricing structure as a generalization is pretty good. Low time (in years and tach on engine and airframe) made a huge difference for me, and I paid a premium for that...

Mike,

Actually 1R and the Ski at FAI are what I've been using for the past year. I guess I can see how a hard bounce in on a landing or maybe a hard side load are worse on the hard surfaces than...

I looked for a cub for about 9 months. I thought everything was too high in price for what it was or I just wasn't interested in a project at the price offered. The longer it took the more...

Why do people think that asphalt is worse than gravel on tires? If the gravel is loose and rounded, then I can see it. But if the gravel is hard pack and crushed (i.e. sharp-edged), then I think...

Thanks Mike. Francie is actually my local choice. We are scheduled to begin training at the end of March (I now have the knowledge test out of the way). I suppose the decision is really easy now,...

Sounds about right.

Thanks RB. That makes sense. I'll give Sheble's a call.

Put it on ebay.

Is quick a necessity? Don't you need your own aircraft with PIC?

What if you have a good hometown instructor. Do you still think Sheble's is the way to go? I just passed my instrument knowledge test and I can go either way. I'm leaning towards the hometown...
