I’m a fan of a couple of boxes of granola bars and a tin of Spam. To require a gun to eat is very highly unlikely. Plinking to pass time? That’s...

The thing that strikes me is the wingspan is nearly 10’ less than mine. Earlier I referred to the Norden as a scale model. I think that’s a fair...

How do you sign off Summits on a standard category airplane? Trickairs are approved. Summits aren’t, right?

I made a post a couple of years ago with wing and power loading. For comparison-

I glanced at Zlin’s website. Lots of marketing-based talk and nothing technical. Wingspan? Wing area? Absent. They clearly state it’s built for the...

Slots are fixed. Slats are variable. My Cub has slats. They operate with air pressure. Open when needed, closed when not. They’re incredible. Flying...

Baling wire and a couple of eye screws in the ceiling. Hang and spray.

Innovation? It’s a scale model of a Mackey SQ-18 with some minor tweaks, like electric slats, and that’s an innovation most bush fliers wouldn’t...

What does a pro aircraft refinisher use for stripper? Willard gave me about half a gallon of his so I could strip skis and it worked WAY better than...

My 180 was the first plane Willard Sawyer, an Alaskan legend, painted solo after firing his entire crew. The plane sat outside for 18 years before...

I have it in stock in my Anch shop and keep some in my Wolf Lake hangar.

I’d sure like to try my Cub on floats, but there’s a lot more to it than just slats. I’d also like to try a mostly stock Cub with the AOI increased a...

Interesting. Mine open 2-7/8”. I just measured them. 3-4 years ago a slat kit was $4K from Backcountry Supercubs. No idea what they are these...

Get ready to smile.

Level with the wing or are you going lower?

77° in sunny Austin, heading for 18° in snowy Wasilla. Ugg.

Mike probably drilled mine when I was on a different task. Where the stops are located will be determined by where you locate the slat leading edge...

If nobody answers first I’ll be home tonight and can take whatever measurements you need. Here are a couple of pics. We modified a couple of stops to...

There should be stops in your hangers.
