How many hours do you have in your Norden now?

Make mine passive. The wing knows better than I when it needs slats or when they can remain closed. Works like a charm. At least Scrappy couples the...

Slats have been around since about 1918. Google Handley Paige Aircraft for their history. Simultaneously developed in Germany but that guy didn’t get...

Pro build assistance has a separate column on the points tally sheet. Not a big deal if the arithmetic works. ...

If you don’t achieve 51% using the FAA worksheet and point formula you can’t register the plane as the builder. Getting the Repairman's Certificate...

Ambitious youth needs to be celebrated. Competence is about the person, not their year of birth.

I look forward to a full operating range pilot report on the double slat wing. Maybe it really is a game changer.

Very true, and a claim I never made. I never wanted a standard Supercub.

A friend sold his 185 to build a very nice Moose. He’s never looked back. Had Barrett rebuild the engine. Had Whirl Wind make custom prop blades....

That ain’t a 180 substitute to this 25 year 180 owner!

Find a local Louisiana guy familiar with building Cubs and see if you can find what you're looking for close to home. Talk to a few Cub owners and...

Off means no fuel moves forward to the engine. The tanks can equalize in the off position, at least with valves I'm familiar with. If you want to...

That sounds a lot like my Backcountry Rev 2 kit. Pile of sorta familiar parts, no guidance for how to put them together. Easier with a Cub than a...

2-place tandem, 2-place side by side, 4 place, 6 place? Doesn’t matter. They’ll find a niche. And Van’s customers enjoy seriously good Lycoming...

The advantage of LSA is it allows operating under Sport Pilot rules. BasicMed made the Sport medical rules moot for many potential Sport...

The Bearhawk 5 will probably attract more attention from Maule guys than Skywagon guys.

I believe the Cyclone kit has new ownership and will be returning to the market.

Those guys aren’t who they are because they’re successful, they’re successful because of who they are. Big difference. Those ribs and slats are...

Not a YouTube watcher but this clip got my attention. Interesting that flap and slat actuation is connected. The next big thing? Time will tell but...

I wonder how the wing loading and power loading compare to an average Cub? Probably closer than not. I hope he enjoys it.

I don't see anything to criticize. It isn't my cup of tea but I have great respect for the imagination and determination it took to be sitting where...

The application states what browsers are supported. Chrome is one of them. The only hitch in the process was that the N number needed to be selected...

When I got a ferry permit last year this policy was in place but when I called FSDO they were willing to adapt the process between the form and the...

To help you with the reluctance about a homebuilt? The airframe, spars, ribs, pulleys, cables, wires, etc on the Legend are 12 years old. Many parts...

Don’t fear experimental. A factory built Legend or Sport Cub is newer and safer than 99% of the equivalent original Cubs you’ll find. A properly...
