little wing

Is he experimental?

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...

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...

Awesome trip and write up Jeff. Thank you Bill

I see way higher insurance rates on experimentals vs virtually the same certified aircraft with same hull values.

Go fly an SQ and fly an FX3. One flies very slow and one flies pretty slow but has lots of finesse and is a really nice flying airplane. They both...

I like doing dumb stuff. Over time I have gotten better at it. Don't really do it for others, I just like the rush I get from doing it. My Mom thinks...

Excellent. Thank you for posting that Ted Bill

I spoke with Richard McSpadden of AOPA while at the Montana aviation conference. He said they expected to put it out for NPRM in August. Bill

You didn't know Lee Budde back then. Guess I don't know why you would blame Airframes for something Lee didn't keep track of. I would put a jackscrew...

I helped my friend Eric do this. It took 6 days, 12 hours a day for us to do it. That translates to 144 man hours. It is a pretty big job but it was...

I add the "X" in the tail and list it on my 337 with all the other welding I did on the fuselage per AC 43.13 as repairs and per the STC's.

It is 17' from the center of the main tire to the center of the tailwheel in a 3 pt. attitude

Having once performed CPR for an extended period, even with a partner I'll take an AED over that experience in the future. Also remember that once...

We live fairly remote in Oklahoma close to Tulsa but it's a 40-minute ambulance ride to a good ER, that's 40 minutes after they get here to stabilize...

Two friends of mine went over and assembled the airplane. They had a blast. I would have loved to been in on that. The red tape was thick.

I have flown some of those fuselages built in 2000 and had no issues with trim. First I have heard of this one that I can remember which seems to be...

I don't remember that issue, only the wing incidence being off. The Smith Cubs had the tail angles inverted.

How does insurance compare between two equally valued Super Cubs, experimental VGs certified.

The NTSB found 5 occurrences, 3 PA12, 1 PA14 and 1 PA18. the FAA has found 12 occurrences. Not sure what all models they were on. Bottom line is all...

I fly with a group of guys every Sunday morning, sometimes there is two of us and can be as many as 8. We bar hop up and down the Brazos River...

I would look at the door frames IAW this Piper Service Bulletin. https://resources.univair.com/docs/sb-819-piper-fuselage-door-frame-tube-corrosion...

Watch the video Peter, I think Richard did an excellent job as he did on the B17/P63 mid air. I am really surprised at some of the comments here....

A short section of tubing could be used. 3/4" x .035" wall weighs .2673 lbs per foot and the rudder is a tad over 4 feet long so your gain is 1 lb....

So I experimented with two rudders this morning. One was an old Univair 4130 rudder which was TIG welded when manufactured and the other was an...

Awesome trip Jeff. Thanks so much for posting. Bill

Look to see that the horizontal trim index rivet is in place on the pilot's side. It's an odd non-structural rivet from the factory and it should be...

Goes without saying. I see people do all kinds of stuff. When you push the button and it keeps going out the back side and the starter is still...
