Pics of our airport in the San Antonio area. Taken from our 180 on Monday morning. We were the only ones out all week. Dry snow on Monday and a heavy wet snow on Thursday. Had the power turned off 30...

Do you have fuel flow numbers by chance? What was done to the carburetor and by whom? Does it ever appear to make full power at any mixture setting or always seems off? Have you pulled a plug and...

You can thank me for the cheaper part. I just purchased a Cessna kit from Yingling. $$$$$$$$. Hundred per $. Damn high for what you get.

BTW. The new part is not PMA’d yet. Legal?

Sorry for the pic, thought relevant but guess was wrong. The 12 bungee truss is not really that big or that heavy. Certainly not enough to significantly add to the structure required to hold...

An interesting Super Cruiser seen recently at New Braunfels Texas. Could not see the method of gear attachment.

No real progress on the project (ran) 12, but worked on the new (red) 12 this weekend. Intalled new bungees and pa18 tailfeathers.

-The red 12 had two large diameter bungees of unkown capacity on...

That is what I was looking for. All my searches were unsuccessful. Is it a Super Cruiser, Cruiser, 12, -12, PA12, PA-12, etc.

Thanks,

Not much done on the old Cruiser. Right wing: tank fit, flap bell crank bracket fit and drilled, flap hangars figured out, butt rib relocated. Waiting for new aileron trailing edges to fit...

The pockets are made by Selkirk. They come in several different colors and mount with screwed in snaps.

I have a friend who tore the side of face open installing PA12 bungees with a pry bar. Like I said in an earlier post, the install is easy and as safe as can be with the correct bungee tool. Less...

Flew the new PA12 home today. Need to get the CFI checked out with 10 hours. Two partners need CFI checkouts and the other has 17 in type, but needs a tailwheel endorsement. A few small squawks and...

I talked to Dakota Cub today and they are going to send me a pair of 10703-03's. Using the 10703-04's at the inboard flap hinge point would require rib relocation or severe modification to clear the...

Back to building. We are assembling the right wing and fitting the flaps. What a pain.

This has been mentioned here on other threads and we are trying to figure out what direction to go. These are...

That's the point. When making 220 horse power in an IO360 you will have to burn fuel. It takes 200-250 degrees ROP to keep the CHT's down and the engine protected from detonation. EGT is the quickest...

I started a PA12 build thread and we on to EGT readings. My 12 had a single CHT/EGT gauge that had little use except to help keep the CHT on one cylinder in check when leaning in cruise.

Aftermath. Did not even turn one blade.

The Stoddard/Univair STC is Only for 150HP A and C series O320 engines. The C series engines are 160HP, B series engines with 150HP piston and rings installed and the data-tag stamped or replaced,...

We have the flap hinges mounted and am going to wait on the bell crank and false spar install until the wings are test fitted, with aileron and flap cable routing verified. Also the Dakota tank...

Already had the PA18 tail feathers and short mount, which I like, on the plane so staying with the Univair STC. The STC only allows 150HP engines, but Lycon ported cylinders and Sutton exhaust should...

Quick thread start. I have had a nice 0290D2 PA12 for more than 10 years. It has been a great plane until I put it on its nose. The crank was bent and the fuselage tweaked when the left wing hit the...

I monitor 121.5 religiously in the Bonanza. Lots of calls to air carriers and lost coms. Occasional ELT. Looking for a couple of used and complete 121.5 "d" cell ELT'S.

You can make a push/pull rear throttle using a 1/4” ID aluminum rod/tube. Install a small heim on the front throttle end and small knob on the copilot end. Hang the knob end on a small strap and only...

Recently replaced my 12 bungees with the ACS type tool. Was very easy. Lube with tire talc or bees wax where they slide over on the bottom. Less than an hour for the install with the access...

I could use a couple of clean original Pa12 ribs. Would prefer full length, but aileron bay ribs would work. Preferably within 300 miles of San Antonio Texas, so can pick up without shipping.

Was circling over a truck in the brush, taking a picture with an Ipad mini, and lost it out the window of the Cruiser. Knew where it was within a hundred yard radius and could have went out there to...
