Get a pack of LAYZR tungsten. No more radioactive dust to breathe and it holds up better. It is my go to at work and home for ALL welding. CS, SS...

Bought a set of wheels and brakes for my C-185 from them as they were reported to be STC'd for the C-185 in the website. We installed them, they fit...

That sounds a lot like my Backcountry Rev 2 kit. Pile of sorta familiar parts, no guidance for how to put them together. Easier with a Cub than a...

ER70s-2 is preferred over -6, But I truly doubt anything would be wrong with using the -6 for overall work. I use the small MIG wire when TIG...

Having just flown in/out of Talarik on a breezy yesterday, I was reminded of this thread. Good info herein. 45-50mph gusts. No way was a small plane...

Thanks for the recommendations, CharlieN and akavidflyer. To be clear, using ER70S-6 on any joint to include the entire fuselage, is OK. Is that...

The exhaust on them is really a tuned header Glenn

Jay @ Javron does a builder assist program on site in MN. I do not know the details of it, but his parts and kits are top notch. I dream of building...

Those who don't know, don't know they don't know.

Watched two 206 pilots try to take off out of a semi-small lake and use more than the lake had to offer a couple days ago. Thankfully, only one...

Every year, the government changes something in the field of auto insurance. And not always for the better. Unfortunately, some insurance companies...

Agree 100%. I would stay away from the 80. ER70S-2 is the go to, why monkey around with anything else?

The hopped up O-200s I am familiar with are on Sport Cubs. The definitely perform better than the stock O-200 powered ones I have flown.

My dad has had a set on his 172 mains for 4 years now and probably 4-500 hrs. No problems. They were the same weight as the 600x6’s that came off ...

I would truly recommend to NOT use an 80 filler rod on 4130 unless the assembly is going to be properly post heat treated. The joint ends up with a...

I've been researching this recently as although I prefer ER80S-D2, I'm having trouble finding it in diameters less than 0.035". For me, I struggle to...

He did mention in one of the videos doing government work he can’t talk about. Good for him. Sucks for us and watching all the videos he makes. He...

These are awesome photos, thanks, Jeff. With regard to launching pilots at the STOL exhibition...it was an honor and privilege to salute each and...

It's not just increasing the compression ratio. In order to get above 100 hp on a 0200 you also need a less restrictive exhaust like CC does on the...

Having worked on a lot of Super Cubs in the field I prefer epoxy primer with a catalyzed polyurethane top coat for rust prevention on fuselage, tail...

Either will work. S6 is more fluid, so may be better for flat work, but not so good for out of position. Get some of both and practice to see what...
