Nope, but that's a testament to archaic regulations, nothing else. Maybe someday the government will get out of the way of private owners. My Cessna...

The best aircraft spark plugs are automotive spark plugs. ;) Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

My recent experience? My biggest fear was mis-alignment of the sump gasket at the pickup gallery. Really easy to do on a hanging motor. That and that...

There's no pickup tube in a Lycoming. It's cast into the sump. If you paid for a new pickup tube? Get your money back!

Everything you read is subjective and your airplane journey will be subjective, too. The only truth an experienced aircraft owner can offer a new...

#3 on my engine is no bargain. Especially if the baffle is in place. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

My messages are already sent. I'll follow up on those every few days. Alaska is exempt from ADS-B except in class C. It's crazy that most owners...

All I'd care about is what the STC holder requires when you buy the STC paperwork for your plane.

My airplanes require me to climb up on them. Lots of times while wearing static-happy synthetic winter clothing in what's already a static producing...

Plastic jugs. Usually the wide mouth racing kind. Conductive funnel on the wing. Pour fuel from an open cap into funnel. It's the best static-safe...

There's no bad way to live with your airplanes but in my world? I absolutely love wandering out the kitchen door into the hangar with bare feet in a...

If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Write your representatives. Google up their contact info and send them a message....

Anonymous isn't anonymous anymore. Read post #15. Write your representatives. The requirement to display your identity and location to the world...

I do. Empty nesters so 2 bed, 2-1/2 bath ranch with a big airplane garage attached and a runway in the front yard. Really enjoy it.

A 150hp Cub was certified at 20" at 1760#, right? It isn't unreasonable to think the tail won't support 20" at 2300#. In my experience the tail is...

Slats move the aft CG limit 1" back. In my opinion they do the same for the forward limit. Maybe that's just my plane. Isn't a typical Supercub...

Put slats on it.

Cool project. Pstol flaps would be a great mod on a -12. Reinforce your pulleys. Think about TK-1 or Acme shocks. Game changers.

Different cranks than the 400s. Likely from the same foundry in Germany, though. I wonder if this will be similar to the metallurgy problems that...

Bitching aside, outside of highly controlled airspace we aren't required to have it. Seems fair enough. The problem is that for those of us who see...

Not familiar with Aero Classic but Niagara provides air pressure and heat rejection specs for all their coolers. Yours would compare to a 20006A. ...

You guys need to write your senators. They need to revise 14 CFR 91.225 part f. Requiring ADS-B Out while in rule airspace is fine but to require it...

Yep, they need to change the FAR to allow us to turn it off when not in rule airspace. Which, by the way includes all of Alaska. I have 1090ES in my...

Like taxes? It's government. What did you expect? Just because they screwed it up doesn't make the technology bad.

I know several AK guys who participated in the Capstone Project who would disagree with you, but the FAA has always stated that ADS-B is a tool to...

SOME public sites. See Windy's earlier post! 978 anonymous used to work. Not any more.

Two coolers. Both have outlet ducts. These are 9 row. I had excess cooling capacity and thought about switching to 7s but the new motor will make...

Move the cooler back to the nose, duct the outlet air so it doesn't pressurize the lower cowl, close the big hole behind #3, and 95% of the battle...

Why? Anch doesn't have the 30 mile thing. Lake Hood still has the same airspace designation that allows no transponders. What will change? Crossing...
