Yeah, the stock tailwheel makes an awesome brake when it buries itself on rollout on a soft beach or on Cook Inlet duck flats. But that’s OK cause...

I may be looking at a Dodge next time. The truck you rode in (F150) has been great but the F350/6.7 diesel just coughed up an engine. There went my...

When rebuilding I had purchased a used -18 exhaust system because I liked the crossover arrangement. I thought it might be more efficient than the...

Better still, save yourself all that work, get your money back, and keep running the stock wheel. (on a cub I assume) less weight, less drag and...

Thanks for that. I plan to install the Sutton first chance I can afford, but for the time being hope to make repairs and get the support system...

Approximately 1 degree positive up over wing angle.

Piper's setup worked well on my -12 both with O235 and O320. Never any issues with exhaust system cracking. FWIW - - I have the...

Good point - I've been wondering that also. I guess just raise the jackscrew tower. A comparison of TCDS stab limits between 12 and 18 might be...

I made a hardwood wedge with the 15 degree angles cut in lengthwise. Then slip it in the already bent rib and tap away with a mallet. I used a dense...

Do tell. My -12's yoke travel up and down was restricted by tubes, not screw threads. How do you move the jackscrew?

Yup - been about 2 years now since riding with you, and your plane is a dandy. Now then, about that Ford pickup .... Oh wait, that's...

another month and a half later... any more testing & data points learned??

You should be able to lose an easy 15lbs at least taking the flywheel, wiring, starter, and battery out. On an engine that has a whopping 7.5:1...

Call Airframes Alaska and ask them for the paperwork and STC. They will also tell you to find a A&P/ IA to install it and fill out a 337 and send it...

Lol, I can go up to 1400lbs GW according to the plans, however, I was hoping the New supposed light sport rules would get implemented increasing the...

Would really like to see some pictures of people’s setup for the tailpipe to riser support rod system. I’m keeping the 0235 spring/rod muffler...

And if you weigh it, use care to not state that in the logs or on a 337. We have a weighed Super Cub with a 402# useful load. That’s 100# less than...

Under the back seat is an option as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Odyssey in original location. Lightweight, makes fooling with brakes easier. The smaller 545 is enough, and is lighter than the 680.

The external baggage door and the extended baggage itself already put some extra weight aft....I’ll weigh it when I pin my wings on and see where it...

If you have to put the battery under the front seat the easiest fix is keeping useful ballast in the baggage. Small tool kit, survival kit, a qt. of...

should I weigh mine before deciding where to mount the Battery? I was thinking of putting it under the front seat. I have a nice extended baggage...

As far as I know, it was both. Balloons were not as kind to Garnerin; he got killed flying one later on.

Yep, really jacks with how a 90 hp Super Cub flies. Leave the battery in the stock location and install an SBJ16 or an EarthX. Crash Jr. when you...

I sure hope I’m happy with my 11 when I get it airborne... I have the B&C starter and 8Amp setup on the O200....2-18 Gal tanks (Which I’ll seldom use...
