How long is the build assist process expected to take? How “custom” can you make the build? I’m a little familiar with Carbon Cub options but have no...

Who’s building the experimental Cub? It doesn’t sound like you’ll have much say in it.

Some may remember I disassembled a pair of Zulu 2s and did the Sky Cowboys thing in a Kask helmet. It’s a great setup but too tall to use in my...

I use external gust locks on flaps-ailerons and no locks on the tail. Rudder springs buffer any shock to the rudder and elevators are free to do what...

Mike and I had no info and no idea how to install my AP in the Cub. It required creativity. I like the drive rod in rancher’s wing. That could have...

Stainless. West Marine. The working strength is more than my wings can produce.

I’ve heard a couple of guys with planes like mine have the tail posts filled with lead shot. I’m not willing to add permanent ballast. I keep enough...

Are they using electric trim on the MOAC? If you can add it? It's worth doing. Especially when used with a 2-speed trim controller.

My slats begin 16” from each wing root. It makes fueling a non issue.

From my early experience? Slats should move the Forward CG limit aft at least 1”. The 390 has too much power to use a fixed pitch. You’ll give up...

1” from trailing edge of slat to front of VG. That’s what I was told by the experts and that’s what Backcountry’s template is set for.

Do you park outdoors in the wind on a regular basis? Solid covers do a better job of keeping the wings ice-free. The only reason to add vents or mesh...

I hate mesh covers. When I used to park outside at Hood and I'd be out of state for weeks I'd put the mesh covers over the top of solids. Not for the...

Twisted or not indexed properly? It looks like the latter.

Ive had AK Wing Covers and Kennon. Still have the Kennons. No issues with VGs with either. I like Linda’s nylon hooks and bungees better than...

Rivets.

You’re the manufacturer. You name the model and choose a serial number. That info also gets put on the external tag you rivet on the tail. Here’s how...

Since I started with a Superior IO-400 and experienced easy to manage oil temps, I went with 10-1 in my IO-390. As expected it makes higher oil...

I think the servo install is pretty slick. Especially that you have it driving a rod. I prefer that to the capstan type installations. I’ve never...

So get prepared for the question many will ask. Do you really think you’ll take a brand new $300K Cub into really gnarly places? That’s what beater...
