Seaworthy

The upper and lower rows are not independent nor can they made to be so. I use the light more for recognition than night landings and takeoffs (which...

Hello from your friendly Wipaire rep (and Cub fan since long before)! The gross weight increase kit has three main components: 1) Rear spar cap,...

Not a direct report, but I have a Husky customer that just installed one on a 200 hp airplane and they love it. The improved hot start is the biggest...

Case in point... Medical History: ATP rated pilot from the East, who flies the big iron, but also a cub, calls for getting his BasicMed. He is...

Really happy to read this. Thank you for posting this. Randy

I have to ask: how much do the wings cost already built vs. the mess of parts that must be assembled? I believe the wing kit is 13.5 and a fully...

Jim, I’m a bit late to the party (story of my life), and it sounds like you have all of the answers but I’m chiming in just in case. Wipline 2100...

Me, a hoodlum? I think you must be confusing me with my stunt double Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Denny I suspect we are basically on the same page, just saying it differently. An aft CG will lower stall speed. I can't find my notes from my...

Next we will rivet on the nose ribs The flat side of the rib goes toward the hinge side and the NOSE ribs all face in toward the hinge. There...

Eddie, you and me, both. That surely can't mean that we are getting old! Happy Thanksgiving! Randy

One consideration (I have been told), if you are looking in the Wasilla/Palmer/Wolf Lake/Anderson Lake etc, is to learn from the locals about the...

Steve--I'll post photos tomorrow. It was an issue with mine and required some modification.

Just did my 0.5 flight test in KBOS B yesterday. 5X5. Installation ( 1947 PA-12) took a tad longer than expected r/t all the issues everyone else...

Folks, winter has set in pretty firmly in the North Country...lakes are freezing up and I have no doubt that the ice fishermen are pulling against...

Then we will put a hinge bracket there. Make sure you use the right hinge bracket. The flap brackets are longer than the aileron brackets. Also, we...

Building the Flaps and Ailerons First and this is ..... IMPORTANT..... DO NOT BEND THE SPARS!!!!! The spars come bundled together and taped...
