Sam, Jay told me they were not needed because his firewall is stainless and Pipers was galvanized. I made some doublers from .045 5052 aluminum and riveted in place as the drawing you posted shows.

So far I really like the Stewarts System, much better than using Poly Fiber. I will have a more informed opinion after I put on the top coats.
Brian, I ordered the covering supplies for my Javron from Stewarts. I was concerned about shelf life and was able to order the material when I needed it. I just finished putting on the fabric...
Put a piano hinge all the way across the bottom door. My old PA18A had that.
Merry Christmas to all!
I had an A model with full metal belly. It was wonderful.
I just received my registration a couple of weeks ago. It took less than 3 weeks.
Some powder coats will literally disintegrate with acetone or mek. Specify the correct powder coat. Stop by the hangar and we can discuss.
You won’t save the 200 pounds you loose on gross by using titanium. I am getting close to finishing my Javron, and it should come in at just over 1000 pounds. I would just use the stuff that comes...
Congratulations Bill! Retirement is really the beginning of life!
Well….. With original fabric from 1976 I would be concerned about what is underneath the fabric. Where was this airplane living for the last 46 years? Has it been hangared? You may have some serious...
We are really lucky that we have a good postal system in the United States. It is a real bargain. For 60 cents you can mail a check to anywhere place in the US and be comfortable it will arrive in 3...
The Vetterman exhaust system comes with 3 heat muffs. 2 for cabin heat and one for carb heat.

I am glad I don’t have any instruments like that to worry about in my Cub.
I am thinking that your carb heat box is broken. You rpm drop on the carb heat check is low. You are getting more power. Your engine appears to be breathing easier. That would indicate you are...
My Dad had one that he used for cleaning manure out of the corals in the spring.
I ordered an O-320 from Superior in early November. They said 12 weeks. I got it in eleven.
I am in the middle. This site has been absolutely wonderful! From my first post about buying N9119D to today I have always found something interesting. Thank you!
I believe this is the rib stitching video Bob was referencing.

Chris, sometimes we are dealt rough hands that no one deserves. I will keep your family in my prayers. You are going to need the money that your airplane will bring in a sale. It is wonderful to know...
I have a Javron kit on order. Give Jay a call and discuss each item on the order sheet. You will be glad you did.

We will be driving over and attending on Friday and Saturday. I will try to swing around and meet a few of you folks.
I am on the same airport as Amy. The official municipal list is long. Start hanging out at the airport and meeting people. Find out if there is a group of folks that meet for coffee. Join local...
My sincerest condolences. May your fathers eternal life be filled with God’s grace.
