But he put a cool sticker over the dent. I was removing my flags in a big hurry the other morning because there were 8 guys trying to mask the...

Hi Steve, it is not. It's a 1940 J5A and I'm assuming a beef up kit and super cub type will be added in the repair. Welcome all ideas and criticism.

On the other side of reality, we have a rather nefarious individual that fell off his fueling step on his Super Cub, spun around and caved the boot...

There are some field approvals for the propeller on the PA12.

I did not realize he had passed. Always spoke with Anni on the phone but then met them both at Oshkosh and would always stop by and visit. He was 95...

I have seen cracks like this on plenty of Cubs with a Baby Bushwheel. Is this airplane experimental? I have never seen a tailpost/tail spring fitting...

Correct, I had worked pretty hard to study the shimmy issues and the angle, and made sure the spring was shaped to be correct. It was simply not...

Quite unusual for a cub wing to come off. I really hope we get some solid answers on this one. Fair seas and fine winds Kurt. You will be missed!

Nice! Looks great!

Did the smoke test this afternoon…no smoke so far. The AV30 sitting on top of the GPS navigator goes in the open hole in the panel. Nothing is...

Usually shimmy is caused by faulty kingpin angle (and in my opinion insufficient damping). In this case I have no idea - could be the mass of the...

ACME puts them on before covering the wings. Similar result. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If anyone really gets motivated you can put a patch over each VG prior to paint. Thats what the last person who recovered my Cub did. I have not not...

Agree. I had obsessed over camber, but as it turned out I also needed a wider spring as the stock one flexed too much and made the shimmy worse. It...

The shimmy dampener is just a band-aid for a unaddressed issue. It works but fixing the base cause is a better approach. DENNY

I’m not in love with it. Pretty much need to buy the shimmy dampener and think it should just be a package. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am alone in this, but I think the BBW tailwheel, at least the one with the big tire, needs to have a tailwheel lock for paved runway operations. ...

I have owned a lot of nice aircraft. I also had a 1992 Maule. Worst airplane I’ve ever dealt with. Short coupled, ground-looping, SOB. F a Maule!...

If you own an older Maule (as in one of most any vintage that actually has a few hours on it) take a good look at top wing skins for smoking rivets....

My M-5 was feet on the floor and drive like a car (or truck) most days. Gary

The local sentiment was and is, as far as I know, CFIT via pilot error. The what is obvious, the why of that error remains a mystery for many. ...

The problem in this settlement and some similar cases in past has little to do with aerodynamics or aviation even, but rather a function of our legal...

Are the tail brace wires sold and if not how much. Thanks

The Tri-Pacer has two coil springs in the aileron/rudder interconnect system. In my opinion, they contribute towards an uncomfortable ride in...

Rascal, One thing to remember is that the power impulses on the 9 cylinder radial happen every 80 degrees of crankshaft rotation. The 4 cylinder...

Wrong word then, should be "directly linked". There is a direct mechanical connection.
