How much cub time do you have? Might be best to spend all that upgrade money on gas. I know very few pilots that can actually tell you the difference between a 1/4 tank or full tank of fuel (75...

Did you check the travel before you started working on it. Might have been off before you started. Start from scratch and right the wings then controls, may need new cables.

Do you have the tabs for the ELT in?

You should be able to prop a 0320/0360/0470 by hand so if you have to crank it than more 4 -6 blades with the starter it is time to trouble shoot, or learn how to properly start it as Mike...

This is the beauty of having a properly instrumented engine. Especially in an experimental setting with new engine/cowling/fuel systems. I remember seeing one custom build advertised that needed...

You can get a Extra tread 31 comes with a 4lb weight increase. DENNY

That video shows a lot. People often don't realize that a cub with a working load even with some wind takes a while to get into the air. The drag from the ground roll and rough ground also slows...

I would hang the wings on the side like picture above go to Costco or farm store for wide tow straps and cut as needed. Definitely remove prop! Do a oil change with 3 quarts oil and Canguard or 4...

One thing to consider with the big door is getting in and out of the front seat. With a standard cub door you can sit on the sill to aid in getting in and out. In a big door 12 you can swing your...

Great Job!!

A bit of late advice, but if you leave a faucet or two with a fast drip the pipes tend not to freeze when you loose heat. Plumbing down south is just not made for that cold. DENNY

What is you airfield attitude?

Check to see that the float bowl screws are tight. Grab the air filter and give it a shake, it should not move. Also look at the sides of the float bowl for fuel stains have someone shake a wing...

Have you tried metal tape over the front of the cooler itself? If you have the room try a simple wrap of fire resistant material around the oil cooler itself. Change oil at 25 hours. DENNY

Chris is having supper at my place tonight. He said he had breakfast with you this morning. We are working on a few angles. I gave you info to a CFI he should call you.

Did you check the local flight schools?

Pivoting the engine is easy however, I think it would require a very long prop for it to work properly (notice the tilt rotors have huge props) so returning to 0 degree thrust may not be possible. ...

If you are shutting the fuel valve off look at the fuel flow cube. The fittings like to leak if they have been reused. DENNY

I loved the show in the Fedex building. Easy to walk onto the ramp and look at planes. But as with most things in life the constant thing is change. I would not expect to fly/land at the...

wow! Great looking plane! Is that a fuel line on the firewall? If so do you have a low point on both sides that can collect water might want to consider rerouting. If not disregard.

I have had fuel valve fall off on two different planes. Always keep Leatherman in reach.

I have had very poor luck with the Vernatherm units. Tested with boiling water ok, replaced with a new tested one and still did not control oil temps well. Just went to tape/blanking plates. Denny

Put thin washers between the cooler flange and the Baffling Then you can slide blanking plates between the cooler and baffling. I block off most of mine in the winter.

A big airpark is opening up North of Willow. Might be a good deal to get in early. Talk to the locals about the Big Sue cloud/fog belt. DENNY

What is on the left? All the different gear will fit but they are not all the same.
