Thanks, I agree the ventral fin is less appealing. I guess my question wasn't worded correctly. I understand the desire for increased total...

I don’t know if Kirk Wicker still flies his act there but if he does and you go, say high to him for me. Used to fly unlimited at his comps. Jim

Anyone use EZ Turn lube for sealant on NPT brake fittings on a cub?

Sweet plane, than you. Looks like Pontiac is the darker of the three reds. Is Aerothane more satin than the shinny Ranthane? Sent from my...

Maybe I'm a whimp but I'd be terrified going into rough places with a student up front. There is literally no visibility from the back with even an...

Another XL:

Yes, it is oversized. It is common for that mod on both Legend floatplanes and the 195hp version of wheel planes (as well as some 180hp models) like...

Taureau Lake, in Quebec

Is it just an optical illusion or is the rudder oversized? If oversized, have you found a need for more rudder or was this just a means to increase...

I would agree with Crash, JR. if you are going to be taking students places that require a 35 inch bush wheel to land, you had better get yourself a...

The equipment on the plane is going to have to fit your curriculum. Are you actually teaching landings in places where 35's are necessary? If you're...

It’s great to fly in the back in J3 especially in the summer with door and window open. Fun to surf winds over mountain ridges in CT.

Probably my best landing ever in the J3 was in the back seat on a very dark (surely not illegally dark) evening. Just felt my way down and felt the...

They don't call it the best trainer ever for no reason, you didn't stand a chance resisting ;- ) Welcome to the club Glenn

This is Juneau White with Pontiac Red Aerothane. FYI. The N #s are Vinal from Aerographics in Colorado, and their red is a perfect match to the...

I recently had a valve issue on the RANS's Rotax. 20 over 85! When I took the head to "my" mechanic, He turned it upside down, squirted some brake...

well, you were all correct of course. the first five hours of dual from the back i hated it. could not figure out sight picture. then things...

Executed rope trick today for a stuck valve. Reamed. Grateful to be back in business until OH this winter. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org

Ice is out!

Thanks, my 30 years of Cubs and biplanes got me in the closed gate. My Rhinebeck history was the cherry on the top Glenn

If you go to the flying circus ask for Chuck Tippett he’s the wing walker and pilot extraordinaire there. Tell him you fly with that Maule guy at the...

So here's the 11 year update. The 250 watt bulb is bullet proof. I installed it in 2010 with the filament vertical as recommended by someone here....

I'm down visiting my daughter and family in the Stafford Va area. If your in the DC area and are looking for points of interest visit Mt Vernon the...

On initial startup slow warm up is true -but the HID setup has their own special flasher. Anyway—not the longevity advertised.

A bit of a riff on this thread - but where does the PA-12 wing fit in terms of gross weight increase? Is it stronger than the PA-18 wing, or weaker,...
