I have a 76-36 Catto on my stock O200 and I did some more testing after a 4 cylinder replacement.....I get 2550 - 2575 rpm on takeoff (measured with a digital tach).....I get about 100 rpm less with...

Not sure…Tony K posted this on his Facebook page…claims 8 second pitch changes in the comments. Nicole chimed in and hinted she might do a video of the procedure soon. Interesting.

I struggled with the paint the first time….I followed the directions, but chose to mix by volume rather than weight…no comparison. The gun and settings are important and you must have a big...

I get other project parts ready for top coat when I start painting..if I have paint left when I’m done….instead of tossing it..I paint another part of the project. Gun: Devilbiss finish line ...

I modified some old tank covers I had for my home built Cub…I wish I could remember what they came off, but either way…the hat section stiffeners were much smaller and lower profile than the one you...

Thanks Steve Pierce….you could make money replacing tons of rudders, but instead, you understand pilots and their aircraft and try to do the right thing…I’m restoring a J3 for a guy, and he opted to...

J3 struts are smaller cross section, but they do come with the 5/8” strut fork….the fork end is different though…the J3/PA11 forks end is a little different…the strut bracket on the fuselage has the...

I had my Cub there in amphib camping right off the end of the ultralight strip…straight across from Steve Pierce….I always enjoyed watching all the planes fly 50-100’ over the top of my plane, but in...

Baumann had the best idea for small floats…the Johnson bar actuator is simple and safer….Legend copied the floats in carbon almost to exact specs and sold a few sets…Darren at Legend reportedly said...

Mine runs 39-40 psi @190 degrees when it’s 70 out….can be up to 215-220 when it’s above 80 degrees out. Experimental PA11 with stock O-200 and Catto 76-36 prop….I plan to try some better baffling to...

Basler owned it and they decided to close it down…they decided to leave the float business. They were the owners when I bought my new 1500s in 2005

The guy I spoke to said it was the best performance upgrade he’d done but warned that it makes his C90 run hotter…around 220 degrees.

I got a response from a guy who put one on his C90 experimental 11 and he called it a game changer over the Catto he was using

How awful to hear….prayers to the families.

Mine is a Taylorcraft with C90 and 76AK-2-40
my other plane is an Experimental PA11 with an O200 and Catto 76-36

Mine is 40 and I think it’s perfect

That size is common On mobility scooters…buy one from eBay or Amazon….it’s the same tire on my front amphib wheels

Well isn’t this getting interesting?

Hopefully the paint underneath matches…if the paint has faded some the removal of the stickers may end up more unsightly that the way it is…just be prepared for either some paint work, or a rubbing...

Deepest condolences Jim!

Awesome build..,Legend Cubs really are nice!

Stewart’s is great…as indicated…especially up to top coat. However, the Stewart’s top coat can be amazing…by the time you figure it out you’re through several issues and it can be a little bit of...
