Same reason I always try and land on my spot every landing, even if the runway is long.

When I was in high school and college an F-19 was THE plane I wanted. Good legal useful load, nice size baggage, electrical system, and 30 years newer than my first BC12D. With a 1500lbs gw it...

The nice thing about a cub is if it’s too stiff of a crosswind you can usually find a solution that is into the wind.

So what happens when you’re making a low pass over the only gravel bar big enough for many miles to haul out a moose, and your buddies are standing off to the side?

Talk about the FAA setting a dangerous precedent.

I’m partial to Bristol Bay, some of the best fly out float plane salmon fishing that exists. It’s really hard to go wrong anywhere in the state though. Katmai is really popular with tourists, it can...

How much does the Firmin pod weight compared to the Airglass carbon fiber pod?

Isn’t the correct answer both:lol:? It seems like no two 170 or -12 is set up the same, so an apples to apples comparison might be difficult. A 170 will probably have the legal useful load edge over...

Is one heavier than the other, or does one hold more volume/weight than the other?

Having very minimal experience in both, if budget is no issue, I’d say a 160HP cub. Still a lot of fun to fly (aren’t they all?) but you have the versatility to carry more when needed.

I might be biased, but I think Alaska would be. Except this time of year things are slow, so it might not be a good time to sell here. Planes start to pop up for sale again in the spring.

If you’re going to sell right now is a good time, the market has been red hot.

35s are cheap insurance if you misjudge a spot.

Reading this on a Super Cub forum is ironic.

Thanks everyone. I forgot to add that my wife (whose 5’ 0” on a bad hair day) is excited to fly again. She claims she can’t see over the panel of the Pacer AND reach the rudder pedals. Here’s another...

I have been lurking on this forum since I was 15 when my family moved back to AK and my dad bought a Super Cub. I believe I officially joined when I was 16. I had always been into aviation, but Cubs...

There are too many reasons to list really. On a practical level it gets me to or from our fish camp in about 20 minutes, which would be an all day venture in a boat. It takes us on adventures that...

I’m curious what kind of real world take off and landing performance the FXs get?

Cub Crafters has done a couple raffle Cubs in the past, the last being a Sport Cub I believe. I don’t mind out of state folks buying raffle tickets since the money goes towards advocacy for Alaskan...

If I remember correctly back in the ‘08 Valdez stol competition I had one take off that was about 250’ and the other was maybe 212’, I was still on the shopping cart tires (6.00x6s), but the 26”...

My first Tcart had a Mac 74-38 with an A65 on the front. It was very light and I was always impressed by the performance. Not much behind a C90 PA-11 on take off that I used to fly with (faster in...

I believe the TCDS allows for a 74” Sensenich.

Sport Cub exhaust is the loudest small bore I’ve heard. Louder than any O-320.
