At $475.00 for a simple piece of plastic? I should test some industrial strength Velcro on the entire flange against the two small buckles riveted...

Does your box have a flange? Velcro.

The best fabric trick Mike showed me was to have lots of rib stitch needles. One for each rib. Push theem all through from one side, walk to the...

It should be a simple approval, shouldn't it? Bigger and 40# heavier than 3000s but functionally the same. Get ready to have your CG on the forward...

If memory serves I have two friends whose former PA-12s used the Nelson STC. Does anyone know what mount they used? Did Nelson fabricate a mount for...

Crosswinds lists the E2D on their 150hp PA-12 STC. FWIW.

Honestly I’m not concerned with top speed or drag from slats. After talking to several experienced slat guys I used Backcountry’s advice and mounted...

Me? Slats W/Keller flaps. Why? Because I haven't seen anything the comes close to the performance that slats and Pstol flaps offer.

Get a more suitable airplane?

Exp vs certified. How many exp guys choose slots? How many slot wings have beat slats in contests? Personally I think Pstol flaps are the...

Thanks for that, 4JJ. My Backcountry is within 1/8" of your widebody. I had wondered.

A brief search of the Skywagon site says #5 shroud reduces #5 CHT by 25*. That's what I remembered being told when told to add it.

The cooler doesn't block any air. There's a baffle behind the cooler to prevent air from going down in front of #5. The cooling of #5 comes from the...

What about #6? I've had 3 or 4 versions of a plate over #6, also because Steve K. suggested it. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org...

Yesterday I was walking the dog and a Robinson came in and landed at the neighbor's. I was quite a bit upwind and it occurred to me that I could...

The three variables. Balance tube, induction, and fuel flow. But that said, I wonder if that baffle increases heat at #5 or reduces it.

Not uncommon. At least not in my life. Dakota Airframes' PMA fuselages didn't fit Atlee's cabanes.

Here’s a Mike Patey video of repairing a Catto. Google search “repair a carbon propellor” and you’ll get several videos, mostly from Hartzell....

It'd be interesting to see how a Whirl Wind compares. You can try my 200A while it's off. Maybe not the best match for a 360, though.

If you operate on gravel rocks will get tossed over the top and forward from tires. Most composite props use nickel leading edges. Very, very...

Like most businesses I'm struggling to find new hires. A buddy sums it up well. The guys you want are already working. The guys not working? You...

How much does a main rotor strike inspection cost? It's gotta hurt.

There's a busy helicopter charter operator up a handful of hangars from me. They fly R-44s. They have two concrete pads in the asphalt ramp in front...

#5 cylinder baffle is part #1250134-1 or -2 for serial numbers 18502311 thru 18502392 and 18502825 and up respectively. I don't see such a part for...

Yes. I believe it's a 185 part. I never had it with 470s. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app
