Oh yea. I completely understand that. It’s sort of why I’d been holding of on changing the spring. I was holding out to get the Acme Aero, Stinger once the STC is approved. I didn’t want to drop $300 - $400 for another spring, then get the Stinger anyway. Sent from my iPad using...

My big worry is breaking the spring just from bouncing off big rocks. The other day a friend showed me a video of me taxiing on a gravel bar. I was going pretty slow, but the rocks were like soft ball size. I was surprised at how much flex was happening in the spring. It seems that it’s...

Thanks for that. That was me. I hope to see you again this year, if I’m not in Alaska. Sent from my iPad using SuperCub.Org mobile app

Thanks. Did we meet at Johnson Creek last June? I had the Red 12. Sent from my iPad using SuperCub.Org mobile app

I have used old fire hose in the past and it also works well. The truck tire sidewall sounds good. Since I don’t have hose material any more, I’ll try it. Thanks, Dave

I need to put a beefier Tailwheel spring on my PA-12. It’s something I should have done a long time ago. Now it has the standard PA-12 spring with the ABI 3200 BBW Tailwheel assembly. It was suggested that I get a PA-25 spring but I’m not absolutely sure which one to get. Univair has three...

I attempted to buy the Wag tanks, and they strung me along for months. It was a good thing for me I started tryin to get tanks long before I needed them. In the end I went with the 24 gallon Dakota tanks. It’s more expensive and mor work but we’ll worth it. Better craftsmanship and I was...

I’m sort of a nobody here, but I agree with Steve here. I fly a PA-12 on 3” extended and 31s. I want my prop as far from the ground as possible. You also have an elevator and stabilizer to think about. I just had to replace VG’s on my stabilizer from rock hits. If I had it to do again, I’d...

I have to agree with Marty. I religiously scrape the bottom of the can with a stir stick then a blade in my drill every time I pour paint in the gun. It does settle out fast. I’ve applied a lot of EkoFill at between 60 and 65 degrees and had very little trouble. I paint surfaces vertically...

65 degrees should be just fine. Sent from my iPad using SuperCub.Org

I’ve done two airplanes in Stewart Systems now. I mix by weight on an electronic gram scale. It’s much easier and more accurate than screwing around with a viscosity cup. I’ve done fine with a line pressure of 80 and a setting of 22-25 at the gun. You need to have a good quality 3/8” hose...

I got the Aero Classics 8000328. It’s well made and very light. With the Kenmore STC every ounce you can shave off the front end is a good thing Sent from my iPad using SuperCub.Org
