What fitting do you use on the bottom of the fuel valve Steve? cheers Bill

My A model pre-dates me by 11yrs. But I did have the honor of soloing her on my 16th birthday :lol:

I used hat-type stringers, mounted similar to how Stinson did it. super-12.com. Steve has 'em, near Chehalis.

Skywagon, I have continued to use the HP double slotted flaps. The landing speed is slower. The takeoff distance is shorter. If you pull full flaps...

Is that 3 legs I see, or is the 4 th hidden? If 3, a nice bit of weight saving/design work, (bet it doesn't wobble) if 4 never mind, good concept...

I think sometimes the learn-ed don't communicate as effectively with the unlearn-ed as they could. I think it's because they haven't been mentally...

Hey Charlie, when I got my -12 back from Nick Smith he had welded little pieces of tube and had used electrical conduit for stringers. Looked like a...

Here's a bump for this thread. The gear has been removed from my plan and are ready to sell. I am keeping the lock collar off the tailwheel and my...

Neat stuff on this thread ! I'm not a tool guy but made this some time ago with a saw,screwdriver and a couple dozen screws. Fits in my A model and...

Thanks Mike I recalled that event - the pilot's (DS?) story was horrific. There's always the potential for aileron imbalance but not everyone knows...

Problem is we don’t have the original and I’m working out of a tool box. Wouldn’t mind but we ordered it in feb. Univair said they are welding this...

I would also as noted above, suspect aileron flutter. That happened to one of our 185s, due to ice formed in the back of the aileron. Parked on the...

Comparisons that revolve around cruise speed and fuel burn make me laugh. If that's your mission get an RV-7 or a Mooney. It's like bragging how well...

Everything Bob builds works great. He came to the WAD flyin many times. His little tandem C85 fliver left us in the dust everyday and still performed...

A Test Flight Report was performed by an Aeronautical Engineer on the Patrol a number of years ago. I believe the test was performed on the...

I have a '63 PA-18 with extended wings and "unextended" squared off ailerons . Fly's just fine, however i have no experience with any other wing...

These old Cessnas all have a history. I'd expect a repairs and maintenance history investigation is next.

I am building a Patrol. I like real data, and through others might too. Here is a trip report that Bob Barrows wrote up that is a side by side...

Make one.

Actually Maule started in Napoleon, Michigan.

Paint over paint? Odd way to refurbish an aircraft today. Not disputing it just curious. Should be confirmed as source of red. Gary
