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...

4-place Supercub would be choice #1. Not cheap but nothing worth having is. Aeronca Sedans work well but for teaching? No flaps. You’ll get some...

Exhaust leaks leave streaks of gray-white soot but nothing clumpy. Lots of guys use a dab of RTV to hold exhaust gaskets in place for assembly. I...

It sounds like your declared value got their attention. When I insured my -12 a couple of years before yours they never batted an eye, but my value...

How did they know it had tabs? They've never looked at my planes, asked for photos, or asked for any modifications lists.

If you’re interested in a cabin-aft replacement….....

Depending on what’s planned for wing mods? Now would be the time to extend the length and/or make provisions for electric trim.

Avemco has no off-airport restrictions and views skis the same as tires. At least they always have for me.

Thanks for the final report. I appreciate the info.

I don’t anticipate any problem and the young lady I spoke to at FSDO this morning said it should be simple. If anything delays the process its that...

You couldn’t dream of a better location to build a Cub. Enjoy it!

I have a steel fab shop. SOP is the spray a coat of gray primer on welds or grinds as soon as they’re cool. In your case cheapo Krylon primer would...

FWIW, here's a snapshot of my LODA. No problem for my instructors. In fact it appears an instructor can get a LODA that's valid in any airplane he's...

Well, Glenn, I’ll explain it for guys who may be interested in information more than cynicism. The greatest area of spark potential is where the...

If you use a plastic container, or ANY collection container, choose one with a standard bung and wrap a rag around the bung-drain hose to keep fumes...

And I’ll post how quickly I get a ferry permit after requesting it. Last year it took half a day. I don’t expect much different this year. :up

My acknowledgement came from DigitaliBiz and my signed LODA from ANC FSDO came less than 3 hours after. I’m impressed.
