thank you sir that is good advice and I will keep that in mind.

I'm having a hard time figuring out your situation. When you went to look at the airplane, the seller told you it was promised to someone else......

Built mine while waiting for the fuselage also. I went the cheap Harbor Freight engine stand route. You have to cut the stand and make it taller....

no- the ad is not up anymore. I did see that plane. Looks nice. I never spend time on those “accepting offers” or “call for price” ads. I have...

As an opposing viewpoint, in the time I’ve been working on my fuselage, I’ve rotated it completely upside down too many times to count. Getting the...

Not too shabby - it was almost comical that Legend was the whole class. It was like all the SC's vetoed going. Appreciate the PN, got it ordered.

The attach points I described will work well, keeping the aircraft level with a little ballast in the keel to prevent fuselage from getting away from...

The washer is a Lycoming part STD-619. They are reusable. Don't want to compete against experimentals in my certified Super Cub. Went up and...

Thanks Steve, don't know why my image didn't attach but PN 71032 is what I had come up with. No dice on the big washers though. Is it just an AN-8...

Google search "engine mount bushings site:supercub.org" Spruce carries Lycoming bushing. ...

I have done quite a few pre-purchase inspections where I flew the airplane. There are a lot of nice looking airplanes out there that pass a pre-buy...

I make my own brake lines using Aeroquip fittings and Teflon hose from Summit Racing. Fittings https://www.summitracing.com/parts/AER-FBM1100 Hose...

I should have added that the tail section shown has been replaced with a Univair short section that included an X brace. I couldn't find a pic of...

Great looking Cub Dan but the owner would have to sneak up on a water fountain to get a sip ;-)

Check the vertical CG before you set the pivot location. Make the tail pivot high enough so the tail doesn't hit the floor when you rotate it. You...

What do you mean by oil temp issues ? The maximum limit is 225 F. https://drs.faa.gov/browse/TCDSMODEL/doctypeDetails?modalOpened=true Is this...

Thanks for all the info and pictures they have given me a few ideas. And thanks for taking the time to send me links i Really appreciate it. Seems...

My idle pressure also gets low when it’s hot

I do have a blast tube on the bulb the plane was restored in 2010 new everything

Not shown in that pic is the longeron support from the jackscrew tower cluster area, my U brace is 16 3/4 from tailpost OC on bottom longeron, tilted...

Just signed the petition. I landed a Cherokee 140 there due to weather on my way from New Haven to Saranac Lake. Was probably 1966. Another fellow...

Bulkhead fittings make life easier for any gear reconfiguration. I’d never do a Cub without them.

The best thing about this stunt has been this thread. :smile:

One reason most people keep the connection on the underside of the belly is if you go to floats or damage the line it is quick and easy to remove and...

Summit Racing is about as easy as it gets. -4 reusable fittings to your liking. If you mess up on your order it’s probably not a day or two shipping...

Thanks! Just what I needed!

Sweet spot on cub firewall is about 4” below upper engine mounts. Couple more photos: outboard end of wing support, all thread and nuts/washers to...

Now that I think about it, the airplanes I’ve sold never got flown by the buyers until the deals were closed. They never asked.
