Hey folks, does anyone have any intel on the 14b caribou hunt? I drew a dc590 permit this year and am getting plans together for the hunt next month. I plan to get access with my pa12.

Trent,

I did the 18 tail on my 12. Hands down, the best mod for the 12. It's like putting power steering on your 12! Much better elevator authority. Very easy mod to do. Just get the STC, buy...

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all of your replies regarding the skis....I found a pair. A special thanks to Tony out in Nome....we like the Atlee skis!

Take care,

Hey Folks,

I'm looking for a set of straight skis for my PA12. Anyone got a pair laying around that they would like to part with for a reasonable price?

Thanks,

Charlie Warbelow once told me the Browning Auto 5 was the "ultimate" for wolf/cub hunting.

Has anyone ever seen carbon fiber instrument panels for the 18 or 12? I've seen them on a couple of exp. aircraft and they look great.

Hey SB,

Thanks for taking a look at the STC, I'm curious if it does in fact spec the PA-22 exhaust. All I have right now is a conical O-320 engine and a 12 with a tired O-290. Getting ideas...

Probably the Kenmore STC, I understand its one of the only ones that allows both floats and wheels. Last time I talked to them they only mentioned that it had to be a conical mount 320. Nothing...

I'm installing an O-320 in my PA12. Anyone know if the Sutton system is approved for the 12? Anyone have any other recommendations other that the Sutton.

Hey Scout,

Now thats the kind of idea I was looking for! Real world comments about a realistic autofueling setup. Thanks for the point about weight in the half tons as well. That's what I've...

Hey Low,

Handy unit but only 28 gal? That's not going to get me very far. I've got the Std tanks 19 gal per side so I'll need at least something in the 35 gal. range. Not sure how handy the...

Hey Folks,

I'm debating which direction to go with trying to fuel my PA12 with Autogas. I see some folks with the tank in the back of the truck method and I've seen others with the trailer/tank...

Hey Folks,

In light of losing a great friend (Dave B.) and his family I've come to the conclusion that I and the rest of us need to get on board with getting equipped for the busy airspace that we...

Can you say "PA12"

Hello all,

For those interested in airpark living in the beautiful Flathead Valley of Northwest Montana, I've got my place for sale there. 3000 sq.ft. brand new house with 2500 sq.ft. hangar. ...

Anyone who tries to say that 12 gear is stronger than 18 gear needs to have their head examined!

Hi Stocky,

Regarding your question about VG's on a flapless 12....well that's what I did and bang for the buck, it can't be beat. Dropped 4-5 kts off the stall speed and the wing simply "mushes"...

What's the concensus on wing tips these days. Tips or no tips?

12Drivr

I'll add the hurricane tie-downs to my list..anything else?

The wings need a new fabric job so I figured that I'll do both the flap mod and the wing fabric at the same time. I found the flap kit at Dakota Cub seems to be the best deal so far. They're about...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best approach for putting flaps on a PA12. I've looked at the Univair kit...curious what it takes to pull that one off. Would I be better off trying to...

Hey ag-drivr,

I'm in Kalispell and am interested in those skis. Give me a call on my cell at 406-249-0066.

Thanks!
