How do legs make pulling flaps easier? It takes reach. Clocking a standard handle isn’t difficult, but I’m a fan of the overhead thing IF he can get...

An overhead handle allows drive rods and bell cranks. Eliminates cables and pulleys. It’s a great improvement. I wish I did it in my plane. Someday I...

That’s a really good airplane. I’m glad it found a good home! ;)

To the LOP question? My book flow is 9 gph for ROP, which nets about 95 mph. If I spin the mixture back to 6 gph, the temps drop, the engine is...

What’s a “flat tappet?” Standard as opposed to roller? I haven’t heard anyone use that term before.

You got some air time in it. Did you like it? Did it start easily? Engine temps happy? No struggle to fly wings level? Do you have your high...

Bulkhead fittings make life easier for any gear reconfiguration. I’d never do a Cub without them.

Now that I think about it, the airplanes I’ve sold never got flown by the buyers until the deals were closed. They never asked.

Caldwell must have a hydraulics shop with all the tractors in the area. If not? There are a handful in College Station and Bryan. They likely won’t...

My exp Cub’s brake lines are from a local hydraulics store, made to my specs. I wouldn’t hesitate to do the same on a certified Cub.

Meh. I’ve never flown or flown in an airplane I was buying until after the deal was closed. Not a big deal to me.

Won’t work with vented masters.

Both of my PA-12 airframes had a box reinforcement, similar to the Atlee clamp-in box, but welded in.

When struggling with my brakes Mr. Grove schooled me on brake masters. Stopping power requires pressure, not volume. The way some masters achieve...

I’m familiar with ventricular fibrillation. Not the debilitating kind. I can make my heart do funny things with caffeine. No Red Bull for me. More...

I’m ahead of the game. I have a heart rhythm device implanted in my shoulder. From that I’ve learned a bit about the cardiac electrical system. FWIW,...

Johns Hopkins estimates 1700 AED saves a year in the USA by bystanders. That in a population of more than 336 million. The math says that’s 1 in...

I’ll ask my cardiologist next time I see her. For me? An AED would cause serious problems. I doubt the average guy would figure that out before they...

I took an image of Kevin Quinn’s Rev, made washed out black and white copies, and drew on them. Mike manipulated colors on the computer. In the end...

Sidestepping and herringbone stepping on skis has packed a lot of snow in my life.

My point being the average guy isn’t an EMT and doesn’t have the training or support resources an EMT has.

Wouldn’t the average outdoorsman be better off taking a CPR class to assist his buddies or others he might encounter?

Huh. The experimental Cubs I’m familiar with represent best in class. And there are lots of beater Cubs passing annuals out there.

There are two nitrous boosted Carbon Cubs on my home field. The only thing new is the attention this created, and given it’s an advertising stunt,...

Who do you trust with a large sum of your money? If it was me? I'd buy my mechanic a plane ticket and a hotel room.

My fav. No press on hand so I guess its not an “event?” https://fb.watch/jgp-2-fO4S/?mibextid=v7YzmG

With a dead caribou in back! ;)

To insurance? PA-12, Cessna 180, Backcountry Cub…. All equal relative to declared value. With one qualification, Avemco views Cub “kits” and Cub...

Yes. I didn’t really want any electrics in the wing root but with a dedicated breaker it’s rarely energized.
