Got my wing apart and parts ordered. I was the honorable mention in Steve’s Wednesday tailwheel presentation.
I bought the hype and put a T3 on my EX1 CarbonCub a while back. Last summer while pushing the plane into the hangar, the tail wheel assembly folded under it self. The shock shaft had...
Are these folks still in business? Our tach on the PA12 needs a new cable. We decided to get an electronic one. Monitors mags and is easy to read and will fit in the old tach 3 1/8 inch hole. One of the partners had one in his Stinson and liked it. Can’t get these folks to return phone calls or...
An old pilot training classmate sent me this trying to find out what type of plane his grandfather was in. His grandpa told him the story 20+ years ago when in his 90s. He and a cousin flew up to Washington Island in his cousins plane for a fly in. While there, a military pilot gave him a ride...

I thought I saw someone had gotten a 337 for a PA18. We have 18 gear on our 12 and the IA says it would be good to have a copy to show the Feds. Summit has one for a j-3 on 1500s. That isn't good enough apparently. Hoping a PA18 one would be close enough or a 12 on 18 gear would be fantastic...
The CC store shows a 48110-1 in the photo but 48108-1 in the description.
Which is correct? Not at the hangar so I can't look at mine til Wed.
Most O-320s use 48110-1
Has anyone used Tempest spinez? Do they come off better? Better filter than Champion?

My brother lost oil pressure and then the engine on Dad's Cherokee 140. It now sits happily in a dairy farmers pasture. No damage other than the engine. It sits a few miles north of Black River Falls, WI.
Anyone know of someone good to help with the recovery? The field might be a hair too...
I got a set of the light weight 29”s for Christmas. Going to take the skis and 850s off if spring ever arrives in Minnesota and the snow melts. I would like to get a separate set of wheels with disks to simplify the swap. Looking at Cubcrafters and Grove they seem to sell the the entire kit with...
Anyone recommend a ski instructor in the Minneapolis area? Put the skis on today. Took 6 hours to get the brackets, tabs and cables on. Should be about 5 min to put on and off from now on.
Still need to reinstall brake pads and bleed the left brake after rerouting the brake line.
Need more air...
Passed my checkride tonight. 8 days of school. Anyone know of a FBO that rents A350s? Now I can get back to cub flying.
The G3x Touch is still a little more advanced but not by much.

I am looking for a current pirep for a flight later this week. I am hoping to get my plane from Yakima on Wednesday or Thursday and fly it home to the new hangar in New Richmond, WI. I flew out last week to FCA and drove down to MSO to move the kid to Anaconda for his first Lawyer job. (Found...
Well the insurance company decided to fix and not total our non flapped PA12. (We had a nice replacement ready to go in Iowa if it was totaled)
Dan at HO Aircraft in ANE is doing the recover. Got it to the shop and uncovered. Wings were in better than expected shape but the fuselage not so...
21 planes hammered by hail this morning. :-(
Our new PA12 got beat up a little. Float rating on hold. It was a fun four hours.

We have a minor shimmy at tail touch down with two fat guys in the plane. Stops at slower speeds. Looking at the tail spring and reading Pierceaero article, we have a big negative castor angle.
Going to order new springs tomorrow. Any problem with going to wider Pawnee Springs? Any changes to...
We are thinking of switching to pa18 gear after this float season. Do the old forward fittings get replaced or are the cabane V ears welded on? (Didn't see them searching for parts)
Which STC works best? Any thing new 12 owners should know? Will 3" extended gear hydrosorbs from a wide body cub...
Searched here and all over the web and cannot find a POH. Did one ever exist? A couple of buddies and I recently purchased a 1947 PA12 with O320 and 18 tail feathers. Any ownership hints and tips would be awesome. I did find a checklist on the internets.

At our meeting tonight, they showed a clip from the 'Hints for home builder' video series on 3D parts.

I had no idea this resource was there. I used some of the videos in the past to help with my build. (Rib lacing video got watched a dozen times...
