Crash, Jr.

Trim could go either way. If you're already in there and have the money to drop on the STC and parts, the PA-18 trim is nice to have. I had problems...

I've never regretted landing taking a leak and stretching my legs in the middle of a long flight but okay I'll bite. A funnel with a length of...

Bill Rusk said it best with the 90% rule: "Build For 90%" or the "90% Rule". "Take an honest look at your expected flying, (past performance is...

All good questions. That was my apprehension was the cost to replace the 18 gallon tank. Since the 12 gallon tanks sit between ribs rather than on...

I think dual 12 gallon tanks is a good mod to add in just for future resale and the potential that you can do XC flights.

I've only made one plane purchase (so far) and that was with a cashier's check. A lot easier than counting out bills and dealing with pulling five...

Couldn't agree more. I had problems with single pulley trim but a simple change of the trim pulleys took care of that. Less weight, less complexity....

It's too bad Atlee's STC SA459AL is only applicable to the J3 and not the PA-11. That would provide a full PA-18 stock size baggage area and be the...

Agreed on most of that. The PA-18 elevator system doesn't add any weight and the baggage is absolutely worth it. The PA-18 trim system is a...

I'd recommend even less. The Atlee floor seat belt tabs are great for crashing but not great for day to day livability. Passengers tend to step on...

There's a really nice weight and balance spreadsheet available from the J3 cub forum. I'll put a link to a google drive copy of it. ...

The Airframes fuselage STC includes PA-18-105 models and those fuselages include the additional structure required to meet the requirements of the...

Experimental maybe? If it's scratch built and has that many modifications I would assume it's EAB and the gross weight might be set higher.

Here we go :wink: https://www.supercub.org/forum/showthread.php?38806-Cessna-180-Stinger...

I guess you can argue semantics but "stinger" is the slang term for the tail spring. I've grown used to calling the "aft shroud" (or stinger to you)...

Very possible the tailwheel being loose on the stinger. Watch for any movement of the tailwheel head on the tailspring and also try raising the tail...

If running skis you may need to go 1/2" longer to AN6-34A on the front gear bolts to get the ski cable tabs out past the little triangle gear fitting...

Incorrigible? You put "pumping" in the title and then showed off the new orifice in the tail of your plane. The jokes literally write themselves.

Myself and everyone I know have moved to just using an Inreach. They work great up here. The text message generation seems to have made the sat phone...

I would really like to hear more about this
