I will pass this on to a friend

How much did Pete charge for your training?:lol:

Trade in your cub for the family model, you are married now.

Engine mount as the attach point has a much lower angle, requiring less spring tension when deflected down, especially for retractable skis.

As I recall, it took me a couple days from start to finish to put floats on my cub the first go around, including bolt on fittings. I did most of the work myself, with a mechanic that would come over...

Even gear made by the same manufacture can be different.

Bought a new set from Atlee years ago, went to install the outside axle for skis which slid inside the 1 1/2" axle, and they did not fit....

Interesting discussion.

An engine theory I have developed after racing sleds and watching folks hot rod lots of stuff: Your engine has a fixed amount of horses it will give you, once you have...

What it the heck, are you NUTS?

Keep the little bird. Bigger, badder, more power also comes with heavier, less fun to move around by yourself, more noise, costly and overall more effort.

Put some Non-Skid tape down and be done!!

Depends on what you want to see

The reality is that there are many 1950's frames flying to this day, many have been wrecked. Other than the x brace over head, box in the tail and maybe an up gross kit they are the original.

:crazyeyes::crazyeyes::crazyeyes:

sounds REALLY heavy. Must be more to the story, 180 hp with solid crank and Dakota wings?

old fabric, but young engine.

If you are going to upgrade gross weight, go to the 2,000# kit and find yourself the larger engine... 150 or above.

Sounds like your engine is very low time since...

Wing shape has a whole lot to do with lift.

Find someone driving up, it will be less, or fly down and install, fly home

Put spotter glass...

Merry Christmas! I remember you getting ready to do the car fix up- what a great result.

Did you let SJ drive it?

Steve Pierce is the go-to guy for answers in that area. Seems to me that would be the first phone call.

Yea, glad that went easy for you.

However, the problem with the original set up is not only does the roll pin 'work' itself out, they also will break, rendering the entire system useless. (Don't...
