Crappy day so just surfing the web and saw this video. I think it does a great job of explaining why a slip is a very safe maneuver, and why a skid is so dangerous. Basically from the pilot seat...

Welcome
You will find a lot of great info on this site. Where are you located? One thing to think about early is what is the mission for the plane? A stock supercub can do a lot of different...

That looks to be a highly modified 12. Cub gear/tail, flaps, left side door, bushwheel/garr arrow tailwheel, suspect bigger engine. DENNY

On my first cup of coffee but real cheap and quick HP can be had by using a prop that will let it turn 2700 on static run up:wink: Just keep an eye on the RPM one it comes off the ground. Several...

The current model does not have a tracking program. I think the Garmin InReach is currently the best deal when it comes to tracking. DENNY

AVECMO is a great company. Prices did not go up on my cub last year.

That entire tailwheel you have should be a pretty big drag issue. You might want to start with simple stuff like not flying with the toe bar attached. The ski angle will effect drag so I think you...

When I am training for STOL comp I can usually do a pattern with full stop in 3 1/2 min. After 1/2 hour ADD kicks in and I stop or go to some high stall work. If others join the pattern it can take...

A short strip should not need any longer setup then a long one if you have good technique. A three mile 747 approach is of little use in a cub.

Go back to math class. One landing every 10 seconds is 360 in one hour. With your math it would only take 5 hours for 1800 landings. DENNY

So are you going to have to lift you foot off the rudder pedal and move it up on top of the bump to apply brakes?
DENNY

Do a mag check at 2200 and 2400 might have a bad plug that fires well at sunup but cuts out at higher RPM. If you have slick mags recheck the internal timing. DENNY

The best way to make sure you do not fly for 6 -24 months is to just do simple fabric job with a few upgrades. Save money as you fly this one, when you have enough for the upgrade sell current plane...

It might just be the angle of the picture but it looks like you will always be applying brake with any rudder application?

Some of the 0320 engines come stock from Lycoming with Dual impulse slicks. DENNY

Is there a bushing in the top holes of CC cabane V? Seems I remember hearing/reading about something like that. Hole looks kind of big in the picture.

Tie the tail down and get a static RPM so you have a baseline to start with. With an 82 inch prop in general every inch change in the prop will cost you 2.5 - 3 mph at 2400 rpm depending on the...

I put some thin windows in mine so I had the same issue. I took a set of channel lock pliers and put a squeeze on channel, that helped a lot.

The crust cutter is attached from the distal end of the spring to the tip of the ski. The cable running from the ski through the spring to the fuselage is the safety cable in case the crust cutter...

It is pretty easy to fly a cub with just trim, rudder, and throttle. I would not like to land with only that but that is why I keep a leatherman handy at all times.

If you do a search on 18A cubs you will find several posts on converting from a sprayer to a two seat plane. If yours has the correct paperwork and has been done correctly I would keep it as is. ...

I have run a blended mix with usually 1/3 LL in mine for years with no problems. I do not store fuel in it for long periods. I usually fill bag day before trip and if not used on that trip usually...

I believe you can do Yokes, single or dual sticks on a 4 place. Consider a Bushmaster/producer (stretched big wing pacer) with yokes. Yokes make it a lot easier to get in and out of a side by...

Depending on who is getting into the back seat it helps if it can fold forward and not hit the shins. So a pivot point more forward would do both. Seems like every time something has power coat...
