He must not have very good Cub drivers around. I can get my 180 in and out of places Cubs won’t go in certain conditions, but to make that a blanket...

The one i helped restore does. Sportsman vg's and a tx skyways 520. He takes it into places cubs wont go

Any time. I’m sure with a phone call we can go see a Mackey SQ-12 under construction, too.

SB, I’d like to see yours when I get back up home, if you’re showing

I don’t see my 1,900lbs empty P’Ponked 180 routinely coming off in under 500’ with a load... Maybe a light early one w/wind in the nose.

Sat for hours grinding away at 80 mph with the engine screaming with no load on it behind a Borer prop. We only run on floats and skis. Picked up a...

Street cred ��

I’m currently flying a stock engine 170B, and am looking fairly seriously at the javron vs patrol question. One thing I’ve noticed is that many...

Didn't you just restore a Super Cub for yourself to fly? Glenn

Well.....guess I better jump in. I built a Javron Cub. It is a Supercub...... and flys like a supercub. If you are going to build a Backcountry or...

I'd be getting an FX3, which is the experimental builder-assist constructed at their factory.

Cub based airplanes. Same basic wing etc. I'm biased, i have only seen two patrols and never flown one. Ive seen a few cubs and cub type airplanes in...

So now there are two of us who own what we recommend! Attributes I’m unwilling to compromise on- TK-1 suspension Keller flaps Backcountry...

Only 3' of snow here in this part of Idaho, at least at this site. The bindings mod worked great, for about 25'. Then one boot slipped out the back,...

Try out the Patrol I doubt very much you’ll be disappointed. It really is a solid airplane. We take Cubs and make them wider, stronger, faster, tweak...

So far I have not been that impressed with the patrol. Not a bad plane, and it could be more of a pilot issue but not impressed enough to give up...

Mike. that snow is slippery. On that sloping beach, at the end of my rollout, the uphill tire would “walk out”, then come back to center. Looks...

Tough to beat that feeling of "wearing" the airplane you get from tandem with a stick. I don't get that in a side by side. Any PIREP's on the...

Are you going to order a flying one or kit? Kurt

Little quick drying paint ( acrylic nail polish ) and it all looks the same Glenn

Yes, can use that front one to replace an original thin one.

Why not look at a -18 four place? Sure it’s not tandem but take a front seat out. Sort of gets you there. Everything else makes sense for your...

1. I usually fly commando 2. The whole point of a high performer is to get away from you scoundrels

hahahah! The same guys that Fleurent, Guhr, Symon, Mathers, Crane, Keneston, and the rest of the non-pa-18 guys fly with of course. :)

Interesting results chart from NZ the other day. Jon Battson (sp?) does know his airplane well, but that said he bested some supercubs in lighter...

Tom, I wonder who John and Peter are going to fly around with? :cheers They probably will get matching flight suits Glenn

Backcountry Rev. Performance, space, useful load, huge cargo door.

Like Steve P has always said, there is a lot of knockoffs of the supercub. Must be a good reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you ever want to chat about it over a beer I gladly would! For now I think I'll leave this thread to its original topic: 35's vs 31's...
