The big question is what does YOUR IA think of the fabric?? What we think or would do means nothing. It would suck to buy a plane then have your IA...

The second number is how many inches forward the prop moves in one rotation (perfect world) think of it as gears in a tranny. 44 is high gear, 41 is...

I am not a big fan of the bigger shocked tail springs because they hurt AOA on takeoff, but, in this case the problem was all pilot induced. People...

SOOOOOOO now you have a 1200 hour motor with a valve problem on #3. What are the other cylinders doing??????? Is the problem a stuck valve or valve...

I think you are correct!!! That is what I get for listening to that damm Gabe!! DENNY

Gabe is correct 2 in numbers and put them above the stabilizer. Flying around Alaska I have found lots of places to stop and piss most all of them...

Just trying to convert the world one post at a time.:wink: DENNY

The one thing I am always short of when out exploring is fuel!! If they stick in the tabs for a belly tank and run the lines at build it is a simple...

Do you have a 4 cylinder EGT/CHT???? DENNY

Thanks for all the advice! I checked the logbooks and the Lycoming SB 388 has never been done. The engine has about 1,200 hours SMOH. Looks like...

Sounds like you are already a ways down the road but my advice is to always find a IA before you ever look at any plane. Seen way too many cases...

I prefer the long pawl. Lets the tailwheel break sooner for short turns. DENNY

It could be several things, but, I would look close at the exhaust valves. They can be sticking or miss seating. Pull the valve covers if they have...

The only thing that lies worse than a pilot is the logs!! Take it off and go through it, also send a picture of that from a direct side view at...

Did someone with knowledge disassemble/clean/inspect/lube/reassemble it before you put it on? Steve has some excellent videos on the topic, also...

If you want to develop tailwheel skills and have a plane that can carry full fuel and a load look at a Pacer. Bang for the buck one of the best...

I usually burn my right tank dry then go to the left. I have never noticed a heavy wing with a empty right and full left in the cub. DENNY

It may not be the wheel it may be the brakes. DENNY

Just saw some blue sky overhead at Valdez. Denny

Go to the Facebook Valdez flying page and look at today’s schedule. Avoid the aerobatic demonstrations and you should be fine for coming in. No rain...

The key to building a decent cub at a lower price is to avoid anything with the word carbon in it!! A lot of planes that are winning STOL events are...

Just got word from Joe. STOL Competition is postponed until tomorrow. Beach landing for today is canceled. DENNY

Call Stoddards in Anchorage they will be able to give you that turnbuckle number and have one shipped to your door. Fabric getting loose when it’s...

They are the go to guys in Anchorage when you can’t figure out your 7.3 problem. Weather still kind of rough right now in Valdese we may do the...

The drive from Anchorage today was a lot harder than the scud flight on Wednesday. Lost water pump and fan belt on the F350 80 miles out of town....

I made it in last night with a few other competitors. Right now some broken clouds but I can see blue skies over Valdez. DENNY

Today the weather is not looking good at Valdez now, so not a great time to be doing a preflight with new pilots. I am still planing on getting Cub...

KevinJ Right now it looks like you should be able to get in on Friday going through Whittier. Extended forecast in the Valdez area are notorious...

Flap use regular or PSTOL should both make the tail lighter. However, tail itself has much more authority when it comes to lifting the tail or...
