I would suggest the instillation of the STC’d short mount Then you get the CG change you want without hauling extra weight. Very important in a 12. Keep in mind the CG moves further forward...

I have flown through Canada from Alaska a dozen times. Never needed a transponder. Wanted to know for sure and searched everywhere and only found ambiguous answers. Wrote to the CAA and received...

i know that is true in the US, is it true in Canada as well?

I am getting ready to fly a J-3, non transponder, non electric, cub from Alaska to Washington through Canada. I have a US FAA transponder waiver. I’ll be leaving TOK crossing to Whitehorse,...

My first question would be how bad can a shoulder harness instillation be to be worse than no shoulder harness at all? My concern is safety.

Im thankful that Tom (Algonquin) is in my court.

i don’t think it would be wise to take the hot forced air from the cabin heat system and put it into the carb heat intake. The carb heat intake is not meant to be forced, it is brought into the...

Cruiser, now that I have gotten into this part of the project I see that you are absolutely correct. Seems to be a need to preheat air going into the carb air pick up, (at the junction shown in your...

In the 70’s I ran my cub and other cubs on 25x11x4’s. I used 6 psi, they were pinned, and they worked fine but I also had enough sense to not over use the brakes. In 84 when I rebuilt, I decided...

I had 18 wings with Charly’s cuff on the same aircraft. I liked the cuff. It improved low speed

I appreciate all these thoughts. I have three planes and I need three planes like I need three arm pits. One is going to go, probably the 182. And since I’m circling the drain as it is I don't need...

With cost a significant factor, how large should a hangar be to accommodate two cubs? Again with cost a consideration how wide and how long
