Crash, Jr.

Just checked Atlee's website and you are correct. They do not have an STC for the top deck conversion. Looks like field approval is the only way to...

I believe Atlee Dodge has all the STC's your looking for. As for simply swapping an -18 fuselage into a J3 there's a whole lot more to it than...

The buyer can go into the transaction and confirm receipt of the parts and it will release the hold on the money in your account. Just another layer...

Yes, I would say that having a 50 foot hose and pumping from a truck bed tank is a lot different than a 8 foot hose connected to a small fuel pump...

I think he's talking about the master cylinders not the brake calipers. Just check the brake booster cylinders for scoring and if some is found...

Battery, jumper wires, fuel pump, no static ground lead, bushwheel bags...what could go wrong? In all seriousness I'm with Stewart on this one. 30...

Your question has a couple of parts to work through. The first part where you say there is very little travel when "well bled" makes me think maybe...

Those Rolligon tires are really neat. Back in 2016 a company asked ABW if they could make a rolligon tire and dropped one off for the engineers to...

Imagine if the FAA had to approve new aviation headsets like they do aircraft mods. We would be using ear plugs and some cans connected with string!

Dynamat is used for car interiors and is very easily available. My brother has that in his Taylorcraft and it works very well to quiet it down inside.

This. I'm a firm believer in the calibrated wrist. If you're mechanically inclined you should be able to tell when tension is "just right" on a bolt....

Would it be possible to just get a steel bulkhead T fitting to attach the drain to and weld that to your tab? I'm thinking something like...

Why would the lesser heat of brazing damage 4130 but the higher heat of welding not affect it negatively?

Do you have pictures of this install? Lemo plugs sound like a great solution but I've never seen one installed or how the headset plugs in.

Remember that you can braze using TIG at a lower amperage with silicon bronze filler rod. You don't need to bust out the torch and heat the whole...

No comment on the Atlee tanks (no experience with them) If/when you buy the Firmin pod make sure to ask about the jumbo lightweight experimental...

What an incredible area and those gyrocopters are pretty neat too. The only downside is a lack of rudder it looks like. With a plane you could just...

Sometimes I wish I had a time machine... That 14 year old is now 33 and learning to fly in the back seat of my own J3 cub. Wish Dad was still...

This isn't an O-360 conversion. It's an O-320 dynafocal mount installed under a CubCrafters STC that they no longer support apparently. My...

Someone make one with a holder for a couple AA batteries. They're never close at hand when the ANR power dies in the middle of a flight.

Scott and ABI 3200 heads are milled with an AN8 (1/2" hole) and then get bushed down to 7/16" for most installations. J3's, PA-11's and Taylorcraft...

CG Taylor did make the perfect plane for flying straight into the ground

Now the real question: long stick or short stick? Straight stick or curved stick? Kinda sounds like a Dr. Seuss book

I'm glad I've never been put in that position but if (when) it happens to me I take it all back, it was the brakes fault! I retract my previous...

Closest would be 1-9/64" tubing. Kind of an odd size. The drawing I believe is for a J3 not a PA-18 although the sticks aren't very different. I was...

If the comparison is on pavement the Bushwheels would be easier to nose over. Not only more rolling resistance which can pitch the plane forward on...

I would say it's not an apples to apples comparison. Typically 850x6 class tires are used on more established runways with fewer obstacles and not as...

You can justify to yourself (and many would agree) the reasons why it's better than a Super Cub but to buyers of super cubs it's still a PA-12. It...
