My testimony? A human being’s limit to support a wing when the wind’s from behind and a strut is failing is about 50 mph. I held one at 45 mph and it...

When the wind is blowing 100 mph it’s very dangerous to be outside, and as for airplanes tied down? There’s nothing you can do. Your opportunity to...

Climbing rope manufacturers say 10 years from date of manufacture regardless of use, and the more it’s used the shorter the life. Not directly...

They didn’t owe anybody anything. It’s business. My 135 friends all got on with life, and business, without a hitch. They were uncertain at first but...

Never considered them. I wanted to go from 35s to 850s/wheel skis. My Grove brakes and masters work really well. Very pleased after a rough start...

Long steps for fueling. Mid steps for getting in and out of the plane. Toe steps on the lower shock strut bolt for getting onto 35s. For...

I have no illusions of the baseball helmet being a crash helmet. In my case it’s a (barely) better than nothing solution for my Cessna. I’ll continue...

Ya, why would any for-profit business favor a profitable segment? What were they thinking?

Just cold enough to keep the riff-raff away. ;)

Dr. Bob, I noticed that Legend offers a dual oil cooler system for the 370 engine. Did you use dual coolers? Can you add a pic or description of...

If you build or buy a high performance experimental Cub you likely won’t find an insurer to cover investment cost or market value. Avemco caps exp...

I always wondered why in Alaska you’re required by law to have liability insurance to operate a car but there are no insurance requirements to...

First flight of an airplane you built is more exciting that words can describe. Enjoy!

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.
