On a Cub I'd be more concerned about location of the cable attach points than bungees vs springs. And the OP is using retractable wheel skis, so...

What's yours doing that needs fixing and how did you recognize it?

Bungees work fine as long as you don’t leave them stretched in cold temps or transition from damp freezing temps to cold overnight temps. I used...

Here's the source of information for you. These guys know fuel injection. Airflow Performance INC. 111 Air Flow Drive Spartanburg SC...

I was serious about modifying a -12 seat. Here’s a pic of the Airframes Cub seat pedestal. The tracks are simple. It should be doable to chop the...

Javron? Cub parts are seriously expensive, I bought a wreck to get usable parts. Like a seat.

It shouldn’t be difficult to convert your seat pedestal to accept an -18 sliding seat.

I asked what the allure of a -12 was. There’s a big difference between a stock -12 and one that’s modified with big motor, flaps, big baggage, Cub...

Had this valve in my old certified -12 and now again in my exp Cub. Simple. Works great. ...

Re:tippiness. Is that describing how extending the lever arm on already weak shocks allows more movement of the plane when it hits bumps? Let alone...

I can see where -12s would benefit from PStol flaps, too. No 6" gear necessary.

The reason I asked is that the range of performance between stock and modified -12s is wider than any type I know. Most -12s fit somewhere in the...

To the OP, what's the allure of a -12? Do you have some attachment to the type? Experience with stock -12s?

When I stripped the 35 year old adhesive in the Cessna I tried everything I could think of and enamel reducer worked better than anything.

For another option, TopoMaps App. Glacier map with optional hill shading. This is a darn good app with several map options. Sent from my...

Every kid who ever played on a see-saw understands CG. Funny how as pilots we forget the lessons.

All that weight on the nose? watching stall tests would be more telling than takeoffs. I have a big motor CG riddle with a 390 and my plane’s...

Not very impressive. That's surprising.

The last set of EDO 2000s I bought I paid $5K. They weren’t perfect but they were fun enough. On PA-12 the keels were under water much of the time...

It’s a general rule that buying the airplane you want is more economical than buying a project and making it what you want. You need to figure out...

For my carbon floors bedliner would require sanding the surface to promote a bond, so bedliner is forever. I’m not willing to commit. I have a roll...

No flaps and original gear would knock me off that price myself, because I wouldn’t be interested in the plane as is. I’d rather spend more for a...

Interesting idea. Got proof?

I use nearby water to gauge wind. When slow I don't trust the airspeed indicator to be accurate. For most landings I don't look at it.

The effect of tape is very engine/airplane/OAT dependent. Start slowly and find what YOUR airplane needs in temps YOU fly in!

Love the turned up edges. My carbon floors were supposed to have them but they did the turn-outs on the side panels instead. Bathtub floors make good...

I've had my fill of the FAA. I like E-AB better.

Pstol flaps are amazing. In combination with power? Freaking amazing. Lots of SQ videos on Youtube display that. Now we can use flaps for takeoff...
