Thanks Bob. I flew one yesterday with two wing tanks. Seems to operate with wing tanks draining into the fuselage tank and engine feeding only off the fuselage tank. Wondering if fuselage tank will...

Thanks for all the cool answers. ��
Does anyone know if there is a Flight Manual Supplement for SA561GL. Deals with J3C wing fuel tank installation.

Hi all, Just found out that it’s just had the two wing tanks installed, not a wing change ��
All the comments helped narrow down the issues though.
Panc over. ��

Hi, does anyone know if there is an STC or other mod to put supercub wings onto a J3 and if so does it give an increased gross weight?

Asking for a friend. 😀

cheers Bill

Is there anything against flying a Cub/Supercub with one gear leg covered and one not? Would be temporary pending fabric replacement.

cheers Bill

Our supercub has an STC for nylon brake lines fitted. Does anyone have a copy of the STC to enable correct repair/replacement of the lines?

cheers Bill

Yup we have our transceiver behind the bulkhead at the back of the baggage compartment. It turns out a couple of capacitors smoked themselves. Trig have come to the party and are sending a new one...

yup thanks Web, should find out what let it out tomorrow 😀

cheers Bill

thanks, did the ground checks as suggested. Took the transceiver and controller to my Avionics man, he took one sniff and could tell some of the smoke had got out.
Awaiting his verdict once he...

Thanks for all the responses.
I put in the Trig TY91 and have been using it for a year with no problems.
However yesterday after start I turned it on, listened to the ATIS then the...

Thanks stid and md11. Yup it’s not a mag problem, only a problem with cranking. Once the engine gets over the first compression it starts on the 2nd or 3rd blade �� Subsequent starts during the day...

Hi Stewart, yup thanks, tried that. Have an Odyssy dry cell battery as part of the underseat battery STC. Certainly affects it if the battery is low but even fully charged can’t quite make the first...

yeah sorry Skywagon, forgot to mention. It is the Prestolite direct drive, overhauled with the engine 18 months ago and has done 100 hours in he last year. I’ll have a look at the ring gear tomorrow...

Hi, first start the engine hangs on the first compression on a cold start. Have checked all wiring connections for bad earths etc but no fault found. I have heard this is common on the high...

Its taken in and out so it doesn’t get jammed while unattended. Also common practice in other tandem seat trainers, especially aerobatic ones. There are plenty of stories (even on this thread) about...

yup that’s probably what I will end up doing, write a procedure, have my engineers add it to my authorisation for pilot maintenance, and have my other 3 instructors also authorised. The duplicate can...

Good thought thanks, but Attlee Didge cover is a minor mod, requires appropriately rated something and logbook entry.

both the reasons you mention are why it is removed. Also good airmanship to tie up the rear seat belts so they don’t jam the controls.
The placard for solo flight is in the Flight Mamual. The other...

Gliders in NZ are governed by Gliding NZ with some of their own rules and procedures f_f and they train and approve glider pilots for those tasks and duplicate inspections. As gliding is quite labour...

Thanks for all the comments, including the whoopsies 😀
Trouble is NZ CAA brought it up, requiring Licensed engineer (or pilot with a maintenance approval) and a duplicate inspection when removing...

Thanks found a downloadable copy on http://www.aircraft-reports.com/ for $14.95 😀

yes thanks I saw that JWE �� I dont mind paying just hoping for one via email or similar so I don’t have to wait for the CD by post. Post takes ages at the moment.

cheers Bill

Hi, does anyone have an electronic copy of the USAF Super Cub Flight Hanbook please?

59005

cheers Bill

Hi, does anyone have any manufacturers documentation or Regulators documentation allowing pilots to remove and refit the rear stick in a Super Cub or similar trainer. I was taught the process as part...

Thanks Frank, that’s the STC I have for BQV, The one I have for BTC is the Attlee Dodge SA 02231AK, and doesn’t specify the tyre size.

Hope to catch up with you again someday😀 Just looked at my...
