One each, 7 5/8 ,,, any color -- thanks,

Sounds like more than two of us now SJ! Old men like "old men" hats! You go robertc.

I've got a pretty big stack of both, just let me know exactly what you need.

I think I have one - do you need just the wire or the end pieces too?

N370SR (my 1956 PA18-150) with all it's F Atlee Dodge modifications will be fitted with black armband, a one foot wide black stripe painted around the left wing for as long as it is registered in my name in honor and remembrance of this fine man. I spent many an hour with Atlee and...

Jeff, sent you a pm. That drawing is very close to Darrell Starr's picture of N18SY posted Feb 27. jebsgrandpa

I am rebuilding a '56 supercub. Quite sometime back I contacted Piper with a request of a piper drawing with the '56 paint schemes - they were more than happy to send me one. I'd be glad to attach a copy to an email if you are still interested. good luck on your '56, jebsgrandpa

Bugs, for what it’s worth – my old engine is sitting on the floor (in a support mount) – it does not have the starter ring gear installed. The measurement I get from the front flat face of the crankshaft flange to the engine mount bolt centerline indicated in your drawing is about thirty and...

Just got back from the second annual Valdez, Alaska "Fly-In" - what a super event again this year. Last year was great, this year even better - absolutely wonderful weather, lots of planes from all over Alaska and lots of flying entertainment for everyone. The short take-off and landing...

Byron - I was wondering if the hydrasorb was "re-buildable". I had one set that by drilling out a small rivet you could screw the end cap off - the set on my present SC looks like the ends are crimpted on. What kind of fluid is used in them? Does anyone have a parts breakdown? Thanks...

Will you be using a finger strainer on that new pick-up point too? What size tanks do you have? I ask because I am putting Dakota's tanks in my wings and I'm trying to decide on what I can/should do as far as header tanks. thanks,,, jebsgrandpa

I hate for my first post to be negative, but I don't see anything from anybody else that attended the seminar so I'll share my observations. The entire meeting lasted all day (09:00 to 16:00) and Super Cubs may have been discussed specifically for 15 minutes. Two questions from the cub drivers...
