Helinox chair with ottoman. These are very portable chairs and on soft ground need something to support the legs from digging in.

I had the slats, VG’s and 3 hangar 17” deep Keller flaps configured on the wing at final assembly. Have 192 hours on it now and have only flown it as built so can not comment on how the stated wing...
Yes, full span 1” behind the trailing edge of the slat in standard paired configuration.
I have IO-390 on a wide body that is modified by extending 2’ making it experimental will comment on. Its tail wheel weight empty on the scales was 107 pounds. I put weight in the rear of the...
This needs picture an explanation more than the above sentence. What is the back story here please?

No need to get on your back and crawl under the panel to work on it with this setup.
The sub panel is able to be removed with a service loop in the wiring which makes it much easier to work on the switches and avionics. There are 3 sub panels for this aircraft and I have nut plates...

Use subpanel as drill guide for label material then off to the CNC to cut lettering.

Used a trophy business to engrave panel label and smaller labels. The small labels are attached with 3M double sided tape which also works well for the VG’s.

My current Cub had a Continental O-200 that made ice all the time. Tried the bikini kit on the induction with no change in carb ice. The best carb ice conditions for that carb/engine combo was flight...
This Cub is an experimental “Monster Cub” with a Lycoming YIO-390 Thunderbolt engine which puts out 218 to 225 per Lycoming. I will post a more detailed answer in a thread for this build. I’m am...

Beach combing the Alaska Penninsula in the new Cub
After a night's sleep I remembered some other things to mention: First let the plane slow down before putting on the flaps, lots of stress on the wing with that much flap hanging down... I waited...

“Spring” fishing the Naknek, got 4 hours in and then the River froze over again. Made for a short 3 day fishing trip this week.
The latest MGL fun... while returning from a flight yesterday while trying to get a new OAT temp probe to register I reset the airspeed inflight to ZERO. No way to get it back while in flight. Last...
Goats, I had one land in Lake George and fished it out. FYI, they don’t float very well. More than one way to get wet goat hunting.

I could not have stated this better, Thank you Paul. I have two other aircraft with simple electrical systems, with one I wired from scratch and I’m able to maintain mostly trouble free for several...
I have no conditioner or backup battery for the MGL EFIS. After the inflight failure of the EFIS with no primary flight data as the screen went completely off and intermittently the power was...
Just off the phone with the MGL service tach and apologized to him as there is no fan in the EFIS so the sound was not coming from there, the electric boost pump switch had been bumped on and was the...
I'm going to have to remove the windshield and top boot cowling to check all the panel wiring which I built the plane for this access, just did not think would need to do so soon. I did not do the...
Looking for input on how to proceed with multiple problems I have been having with MGL Avionics installed in my experimental Cub. I have a MGL Challenger Lite EFIS with their support boxes and radio....
I have a stock wing and engine mount Cub with with P STOL flaps and also do not change trim from cruise to full flap deployment once the Cub has been trimmed for the load. The experimental Mackey...

That makes two of us. The EFIS is a MGL Challenger Lite which is user programmable and that is where the problem lies. I now regret putting a flipping computer in this airplane as I do not...
