thinking back to some that were repaired at atlee's, they cut off drain bung and welded small section on top then welded new bung on..... not sure...

Thanks for all the responses guys. I have a aluminum fabricator/welder who is going to weld it up this week. Got the tank out and thanks to steves...

There is a ground wire on both sides of the engine...at each motor mount, lots of grounds and most if not all would be adequate.

Not yet but it's on the list. I'm not sure about skiing this one alone. You definitely want to have your stability guess correct and I haven't...

I would like to see numbers comparing the borer 82/41 ..150 horse to Sensenich. Ground roll etc I ran a McCatto on a 0-290 and loved the...

Mine will be the EarthX EXT 900-TSO. I agree the iron phosphate is better that lithium ion, but it’s still new technology. My airplane is certified,...

Yeah, I’ve done that where an airplane comes back from Canada or another bilateral country, and their CAA approved the other prop. That’s about the...

Cool!! Glad you are doing the ‘cheaper and keep flying’ thing I fly a ‘beater’ (1952 PA-18 insured for $65K—$1101.00/year). Iam 72 have 3000 total...

Love the “heartbeat” on short final..

Nice. I don't watch 95% of flying videos but I always watch yours. Well done! Did you ski it?

Here's an example of emergency coms put to use after an accident in Alaska last year:...

Doing a little ski art helps with turns. Putting a cliff at the end also helps. Jerry

Perhaps....here's an example product > https://tsttruck.com They offer external caps attached to the valve stem, flow through caps, internal sensors...

There are lots of nice shiny "toys" out there to select from......some sixty years old, others much newer. But, $150 K will buy you a VERY nice...

I agree that the SPOT is useless or close in Alaska. In at least parts of the Lower 48, it kinda works, but there's no doubt that In Reach, and as...

Stewart's comment reminded me of a story from an old time Alaskan who now lives in Lewistown, MT. He spent a number of years as a game warden and...

Relay on firewall clicks, starter no crank. Remove several starters and the rotors are flopping around, loose, pulled one apart and the magnet was...

Tailwheel up also helps prevent the tail from taking damage and getting bent...

Just curious about this description. When you say 'no click' do you mean that the starter motor doesn't click when the switch is engaged? Or do you...

I've never used the drop one wheel trick, but it's in the mental toolbox.

YouTube “alumaweld brazing process” done with an oxy acet torch. (Still need to purge) ive tried it on thin aluminum, typically lap joints. im...

Leaving your baby Bush wheel on and not raising the tail will get you that football field turnaround in a hurry.

not saying it is right, but I have seen an exception to this rule. A reissue of an airworthiness certificate while non standard prop is already...

They never even quoted a price for $300,000 hull coverage. Said it would be to high and call back after 100 hours. Just a voice mail, I called back...

Mindset is everything. If you want to play in the backcountry make your backcountry home. Learn your machine and carry the necessary tools/parts for...

So you didn’t troubleshoot any of them for the underlying causes? Great! Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

They really are. I think the 2 big ones, WW and Sensinich are really close in performance, but the Sensenich wins hands down for ease of pitch...

I dont believe that 10 airplanes out a fleet of 13 all have problems...one or 2 maybe and the all were built after 2005.

There are about as many tips and tricks to ski flying as there are ski pilots. Holding on to a strut or raising a ski are only two. F. E. Potts...

Back in my motorcyle days I saw many gas tanks welded. Usually got sloshed out with water & dishwashing detergent, then drained & welded. Don't...
