What’s the weight difference between the carbon fiber floor boards and 1/4” birch?

Aluminum lift struts will take a bunch of weight off right away. Ditch the vac system, does it have old radios? Get some trig, and use the built in...

After about 1700 hours the internal stainless mesh that holds back the muffler packing loosened up a bit, so instead of a perfect cylinder it was...

What about the aft tube? I just noticed on a friends cub that there is a tiny bit of play that if you grab the tip of the horizontal stab and lift,...

Do you still have that Swiss muffler? That seemed pretty neat.

Mr. Pierce; Regarding Insulation - I cannot overstate the value of spray foam insulation. Yes it's stupid expensive on the front end. But here...

Good to hear! It'd be great if some of that equipment I pull pays for the other upgrades.

Sounds like you've got it pretty much nailed. The only things you could consider doing in addition is taking the springs out of the front seat back...

The pilot!!

Steve, you're a smart guy and I'm sure you have looked into this on the financial side. Is the real estate leased from the city/airport and you have...

ive seen a couple of PA12s converted to the 18 torque tube assembly to which they had overlooked adding the extension back on. It will change the...

Two airplanes, coming head-on at 120 mph each, have a closure rate of a mile every 15 seconds. I think I'd rather see them a little farther away.

I emailed Desser about this. Got a prompt response from them, telling me that they had no plans to introduce such a tire: "right now, we're going...
