Mark - use my link, or just go to Univair's TCDS library. Select 1A2, and go to page 6. Or, you can believe me - it is 50 +/- 2.

I wonder if early PA-18s used the J3 pitot system? In my limited experience no "certified" airspeed indicator will be accurate in a J3.

I really liked the Kalispell airport. Delivered a Citabria thers around the turn of the century - I think the main runway was grass then.

Cub Crafters will return a Cub with flaps adjusted to 40. I like them at 50, plus whatever I can get away with for "tolerance." Let me check . . ....

Yes, Hank's setup is a good one. I like the pads, and that center latch appears similar to those we used in the Airbus. I flew a Super Cub...

I use military style in all my airplanes. Rupert makes a 3" lap strap that is very close, ant TSO'd. My Decathlon has a Siver Parachute 5-point...

That, and improvements rarely increase the price by the amount the improvement cost. That is why you are generally better off buying a Cub with...

Your Cub came from the factory with a "BOTH" position on the fuel? Any checklist will do, and that one is ok except maybe for the FAA put...

The thing is, you cannot joke around on a checkride. The examiner knows it is a Cub, and knows it will fly just fine with CIGAR from memory. ...

Never used the Airtek system, but have used their topcoat over Stitts Poly white. Results are spectacular. One gallon plus thinner and catalyst did...

Impressive. That's about triple what we used in the 737. Again, if you need a checklist to turn on the mags and master, I do not want to be in...

Remember - Cardiff was looking for a checklist to use during a Private Pilot checkride. Sure - use CIGAR and GUMPS - they cover everything and...

I remember when the industry decided to differentiate between checklists and do lists. Seemed silly at the time, at least to me. Overcomplicating a...

Well, bullshit or not, you need a hard copy J3 checklist in your hot little hand when you show up for a checkride, and it needs to have at least one...

Yes, but he needs a checklist for the DPE. Leave a control or seatbelt check off of that, and it might not pass. Avionics? You mean like "Radio...

I just heard that the standard can filters are in short supply, along with brake discs and engine parts. Pretty soon everybody will be grounded...

Agree, but a check list need not go into that kind of detail.

My capillary just failed, after sixty years and 5000 hours of abuse. Granted, I don't pull it out of the screen every 25 hours . . . Gives me an...

See how short? Memorize a flow for the emergency stuff, touch each control (or move it), recite it out loud as you do it, reach for the checklist,...

PIPERCUB CHECKLIST - works for most light aircraft VFR TAKEOFF - "CIGAR TIPS" Controls – FREE Instruments – CHECKED Gasoline –...

Magic Mike Hatfield taught me that in 1963. I have used it ever since - but for a DPE, you have to write it on a piece of paper, and use it. You...

I have one that made our picky DPE happy. Just ask. If you show up with a 16 page checklist, and have to read four items on the runway before...

And speaking of Super Cub values, a buddy is considering selling - low time 160, good cover and interior, extended wingtips (ugh) decent radio -...

I didn't mean to disparage rich guys who want to land off-airport. I was just suggesting that maybe some of the CC insurance payouts were causing...

Unless you can "do it yourself" a ground loop plus prop strike will be enough to total a good Cub. Shop rates and parts are right on up there, and...

I have no knowledge, but as a guess, aren't CCs operated by a different group? In Alaska, the Super Cub seems to get the job done, and my impression...

I run two B&Cs and one Skytek. Next one will be B&C. The Skytek was off the aircraft twice in the first 100 hours. B&Cs have 300 trouble-free...

It was in jest.

When I shoot my six instrument approaches I do low approaches. At our major airport, that easily places me within 500 feet of lots of persons and...
