A new plane on cub gear.

I saw that one too. Did you see the rear seats? They face backwards! That probably helps with some balance issues, head room and leg room for the kids in the back. Many people might not like it but it is an interesting idea at least.

Wip 1450 anfibs and Aerocet had a set of 1500 anfibs. The wips had manual retract and Aerocet had Hyd hand pump. I have pictures on my camera.

The glastar is from Washington State Arlington, I'm going up there to check it out, It's one of Super Steve's gears.

Just read in the paper, glastar has been bought by China, They are going to keep the Arlington Plant where it is for now.

Any web site or contact information for these?

Grove is making a cub style set of heel brakes. I did not take a picture but they are NICE. You will probably see them soon on my Javron cub. Standard mounting holes. I do not know if they are going to try to STC them but I was most impressed. I saw the prototypes. I do not know how long it will take to get them to market. I was told the price was 539 each. All this info was from Robbie Grove himself. Nice guy.

Dynon introduced a portable attitude indicator. Since it is "portable it can be used in a certified aircraft. This would be a really neat tool to have in your panel just in case you get caught in the Wx unexpectedly.

here is a link to more info.

Bill that portable EFIS is COOL. I might have to acquire that.

Have a look at the Beringer website for the heel brakes.

Here is the new transponder by Sandia Labs(on the right), next to the ICOM radio(left) for comparison. Small, light, low current draw, and inexpensive. It will be in my new Javron Cub panel.

All I found at Oshkosh was sunburn and $3 water oh yeah, and a lot of yellow Cubs...

[aktango58]

Bill,

I will gladly buy that for $1.00!

Or is that your Last dollar after going to the flying market?

I love the Dynon. What a great concept... legal to have, legal to use, and easy to move between aircraft!

[flynlow]

What a great idea. My cub has stick and ball and the RV8 only has turn coordinator to get me down through the layer or turned around if the scud turns into real estate.

Thanks Bill.

That Dynon D-1 looks wonderful! One could throw away the vacuum needle/ball and venturi! I'm tempted to run out and get one right away - - -

[CubLite]

Bought the Dynon D1 Monday at Oshkosh and must of gotten a bad egg as it showed me in a 20 to 30 degree right bank after 30 or so minutes of flying. On the way home on Saturday it showed me doing constant rolls after about 2 hours of flight although everything else seemed to work great and match up with other instruments.. The good news is is that I called Dynon on Wednesday (late) and they immediately shipped me a new one to replace what they called a defective unit and it beat me home, arriving on Friday. I have fired it up and it seems to be working fine without any issues, but I haven't flown with it yet, (105 degrees here today). Other good news was that I left it on until the battery died and it lasted over 7 hours, even though Dynon advertised it to last a minimum of 4. So, I am optimistic and excited that it will be exactly as advertised.

I have an app for my iPad called classic gyro...$1.99. Of course it's not certified but it will get you out of trouble. I've been using it for a month in good weather as a trial. It is the best $1.99 I ever spent. It also has a vertical compass and gps linked ground speed and altitude readout.

[Dan Gervae]

Did you guys see the Just aircraft's new LSA with the wing slats and the cool vee and external strut gear? Performance was amazing. They demoed it at the ultralight strip.

Hey Pat,

let me know how the new Dynon unit works for you, once you get a chance to fly with it. Jim and I are seriously considering buying one but after your initial report, would like more assurance that the first unit you purchased was just a bad egg...

TIA!!

Who's bungee replacement system (rubber donuts and plates) are they using?
Who is "SuperSteve" and did he build the gear for Glasair?

[12 Geezer]

That is Steve's donut arrangement (experimental only). www.super-12.com. Dunno for sure whether he built that particular set of gear, but I do know he's set up to produce custom gear to the owner's spec (again, experimental). I saw a box full of ground-thread 1 1/2" axles on his bench the other day - - -

That is what a bushwheel looks like with 1 psi in it.

Beringer. They quote in Euros. Lots of them.

I got a chance to fly with the Dynon D1 replacement and it appears do everything they represented, I think the first one was just a bad egg. Understand that I only have had one 45 minute flight with it, but my early observations are:
1. Seems to lose GPS signal in anything more than a standard rate turn without the external GPS antennae plugged in. It comes back in a few seconds when you level out so I guess that it why they give you an external antennae to use.
2. It seems VERY sensitive, jumping around in even mild bumps, so I am curious to see what it does in turbulence.
3. All information appears to be very accurate, matching up with the other GPS's on board, VSI, and rate of turn indicator.
All in all, I am happy that I bought it and think it's well worth the money.

No. Completely new shape and design. Nothing like that at all. I sure wish I had taken a picture.

I sent them an email - I'll report back what they have to say.

here is the wip 1450<img id="vbattach_7918" class="previewthumb" alt="" src="http://www.supercub.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7918&amp;stc=1" attachmentid="7918">

I looked them over pretty good, they look light, maybe too light. A lot of rocks in the Adirondacks and I've found more then my share but my 66 year old 1320 still look good, not sure how these would hold up. Amy if you send me a set I could real world test them for you, no charge of course. Tom did you get a pix of the carbon Aerocets. I liked them also, big lockers and light but I wonder about holding up where I go. They both looked very slippery.

Glenn

[RaisedByWolves]

No I didn't get a picture of the aerocets, and amy can send you the straight floats and send me the anfibs to test.

We were flying back Sunday and tried to find you but you didn't answer the radio.
