It is a requirement in Alaska!

Is it just as easy to install on a PA12 with a long engine mount?

I have pod serial # 1 made by Bill Firmin. It came without a top and has worked fine. Don't worry about a small access hole in the top. it was his first PA 12 pod.

I had some 87 auto gas for my lawn mower and so mixed that equally with 100 LL and after two days no color separation appears in a clear glass jar.

I would definitely opt for a tent rather than a tarp as you could have steady rain and once you are wet it is hard to dry things out and keep warm.

That method was hard to put on and didn't work well with my new small pup. I got one of the padded neck braces which velcros around a human neck. I wrap it around and close the Velcro and she keeps it on. It does reduce the cockpit noise significantly.

Heads up. This is happening this coming Saturday

I have three Dave Clark headsets, but am thinking about wearing a crash helmet. What options do I have in purchasing a helmet that will work/fit properly with those headsets?

I used to have the bungees on my skis; I have always made it a habit to glance out of the windows to check my wheels or skis after each take off. One cold winter day I took off from a remote swamp and glanced out as usual. The right ski tip was hanging REALLY low; I pulled back slightly on the...

It sort of depends on the PA-12... Many have cub gear, cub tailfeathers, cub flaps, cub gas gauges, cub trim wires, same Borer prop, same big tires, same engine, the wings are almost identical, and mine even has an N # ending in N like the 'cubs"...

After my second Softcom gave me problems (over many years) I checked with my mechanic and he recommended the PS engineering intercom, wired through the radio (I have Icom). I had that installed;it was pricey when the wiring harness and installation were included, but is far better than anything...

Any play in the tail wheel mechanism will show up more with a larger tail wheel. I would check it all over for the possibility of a need for some new parts. I think that will be the bigger factor on the 'play' which you are experiencing.

I had mine done at Precision Plus and didn't take very long and was well done. That being said, some parts will need to be shipped out and back.
