I would like to gift a friend and his wife a moose hunt in Alaska in 2024. I got my own trophy 30 years ago rafting near the Mulchatna after being flown in from Iliamna. He is a fishing guide in Wisconsin and his wife is an experienced camper/hunter, but is recovering from a brain tumor and...

A Goldilocks question? I have received a number of inquiries about the CG of the 12 I am selling and can only tell them that the Empty CG is 12.99 (I think). Is that considered nose heavy, tail heavy, or just about right? I built it with some battery location flexibility (firewall, under the...

I need some help from you guys. Please. I have contacted a number of professional aircraft Brokers across the United States to get help selling my 2020 Exp. PA12/3 Blade Catto and Stoker O-340/180hp. Some are in the Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, and Northwest incl. Alaska. They all charge...

Is it legal to sell a set of Piper Cub logbooks, registration, and certificate of airworthiness? Barnstormers suspended my Hangar, without notice, because a person named Guy Fraser sent them an email complaining that an ad I placed offering a set of logbooks for sale was “suspicious...

What is the typical brokerage fee for help selling a rebuilt Cub? What services can a seller expect in return? Any suggestions on who might be best to hire? Thanks!

How do you all move floatplanes from the hangar to the water? Is it possible to build one that accommodates 1320s to 4930s? What are the design minimum for height, width, and length of the lifting rails? Pictures or video of your favorite prime-mover and critique of different designs would...

What with the steady advance of electric motor design and battery storage efficiency, can any of you see opting for an electric powered SuperCub? Many of us have already chosen to go the experimental route, so what do you all foresee as the pros and cons of hanging an electric powerplant up...

Let your voice be heard this November. Vote!!! Please.

Since an exploration of the Canadian tundra is unlikely this year, I was thinking of retracing, in the PA12, the Louis and Clark expedition up the Missouri River to the Pacific ocean and back again with my daughter. And for the return, follow the old Route 66 and see everything along that way...

I’m looking for advice on the wisdom of exploring Nunavut and the N.W.T.s this Summer in the experimental PA12 we just finished building. A good place to start is: Can I fly an American registered experimental aircraft in Canada? Do I need a full medical, pilot and airplane logs, Passport...

What are the best options for modifying a PA12 front seat to allow forward and aft movement? The original seat position is fixed in place. As such, it doesn’t allow as much knee movement as I would like, especially since the plane has been converted to toe brakes. An adjustable seat would...

I must have done something wrong with my muffler shroud and the placement of the fresh air intake and exhaust ports. I have an O-340 with PA20/22 exhaust pipes and an original PA12 muffler and shroud. I cannot remove the shroud without removing the exhaust pipes. The scat tube attach points...

My PA12 project is nearly finished and we are preparing for its first flight. Before then I need to get her insured and I hope someone here can provide some guidance as to where to get it and how to set a reasonable Hull value. Is it reasonable for me to want the Hull Insurance to cover the...

Is this is a exhaust down pipe for a PA12?

When I built my first PA12, 3788m, I built it with the dream of flying a plane I built to the top of the world. Needless to say; marriage, kids, and a horrific automobile accident put the kabash on those plans. But I was wondering; has anyone less encumbered actually made the trip. After...

Any opinions of the current value of a full set of logs, current airworthiness certificate, and registration for a PA12 with no damage history would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Paul Heinrich

My PA-12 project has the trim crank mounted overhead on the left, but I don't see any provisions for moving the indicator overhead, too. I think I saw a Smith Cub with a similar setup that had the indicator and crank overhead together. I didn't think to take photos. I suppose I could keep the...

Assuming the owner supplies all the necessary parts, what's an average charge for CubCrafters to rebuild an 18 from the ground up? Do they rebuild 12s and experimentals the same way? How long is the wait for your finished airplane?

I would like to see my PA-12 project finished in my lifetime, but it won't be at the rate I'm going. I have a very, very nice 1950 Cessna 140A with a 200hr. SMOH O-200, never installed EDO 1650's, and Federal 2100 straight skis. I would like to trade it to one of the more experienced Cub...

I (now) know that permanent magic marker ink from a Sharpie will bleed through poly fiber primer and paint. Will blue gel or ballpoint pen ink also bleed through? Other than not using ink to begin with, is there anything I can do about either types of ink that will prevent it from bleeding...
