I found the older backcountry build manual super helpful.
Car seats are terribly slow/difficult to unbuckle (seatbelt plus chest buckle), especially way in the back. I opted for booster seats with one next to me up front the other next to my wife in back. I...
theres no replacement for displacement and my family/friends pack heavy.
My first airplane a low time Cessna 180 had a great pedigree but had sat for a number of years, was "taxied, etc.." Despite the naysayers, I flew the S*&^ out of it for a number of trouble free...
Has anyone done a side by side real-life comparison to the 6-passenger Maule? Looking at the website specs, the Bearhawk will outperform the maule (faster in cruise, slower stall, higher GW) In my...
anyone know why wipaire stopped making the boss turbo beavers?
And?? How do you like the datums vs. summits?
I'm in love with my 185. I've thought a bit about a 206 but after owning a P210, I'd skip that size, opt for a real cabin and upsize to a turbo beaver, caravan, or kodiak.
Its great to read opinions on this topic, one thing everyone on this site shares is a passion for flying and I love that!
Seat of plants/feel is a requirement for those that have ventured into...
about 10+ years ago, when I bought my first 180, I had a bulb go out and I installed them.. nice bright bulbs but the strobe feature is/was useless.
look at the horizontal shutter at 0:08 on the second takeoff video..
I cant look at a Bearhawk and not think Maule.. not that there is anything wrong with that.
The Javron kit is an excellent foundation, and the quality is second to none - I love building/modifying this super cub. Here's a picture of an enlarged door with the clear door to my old standard...
I was just testing my 185 after installing skis and got a nice dose gusts and freezing rain on the leading edge of it.. welcome to winter, I hope to make it next year.
26's are great.. worked well for me for a number of years.

I’m very intrigued with the ground adjustable, having always been certified in the past, I love all the experimental prop options
Thanks for the great info, I know a cub is draggy.. I’m building a wide body, 2200lb gross, less concerned about super STOL, I can land plenty short, building for all around utility, adventure, and...
Anyone running a constant speed prop that can share real world cruise speeds with 180hp or greater super cubs?
Had to work late, sorry I missed it.. watching now, thanks for sharing hoping this 2023 is the year I fly to AK
Snowmobile trailer worked for me.. I'd bet a one way flight and Uhaul or budget box truck if you have access to a forklift or help might be cheapest..
By extending my arm .20 I was able to achieve full range of motion at this location and the pushrod is protected by the under seat storage and its clear of all cables and pulleys.

I looked at a Cub a few weeks back near me; great low time logs, the seller said it had NDH, the 337's showed the tail had been ripped off and replaced, a 5-minute visual inspection showed many other...
Echoing what others have said, get a quality inspection by someone who knows Skywagons inside and out. Complete logs are great to have but to me have little bearing on condition; they tend to only...
No dice on the full travel. it’s too bad would have been a great location, concealed and easy to access inspect/adjust. Im going to try making a longer arm but im not optimistic, it’s a long swing to...
