Maybe I'm a whimp but I'd be terrified going into rough places with a student up front. There is literally no visibility from the back with even an average sized guy up front when on 35s and 3 inch...

I like Mauleguy's idea of timing acceleration over a measured ground run and a climb test. As long as the props are the only variable, this seems like the most useful data for most of us. I plan to...
Still waiting for permission for the first flight with the new pistons. There is plenty of fuel available for cooling [emoji848] The real question is whether I will be able to actually climb better...
What about tires, tire pressure, head wind etc. Seems really odd the 150 horse can turn the same pitch prop the same rpm as a 160+ hp engine.
I just went from 9.5:1 pistons up to 11:1. I used to see...
Great responses already. I'll add a bit of detail because I remember the stress of my first high altitude takeoff, wondering if I was doing okay.
It helps to find a clean spot and do a full power...
A friend told me Wip charged his Nonprofit $40K to take a Caravan off amphibs and install existing wheel gear. Got to Florida and the ferry company wouldn't install the ferry tank because of a...
Now I want to build a rack! Getting an FA Dodge lumber rack down here to Bolivia wouldn't be worth the trouble but I'd like to build a copy of one for the Experimental Cub we operate here. Does...
Sometimes shimming a little more camber into the axle will fix the interference between brake rotor and gear leg.

I'll second what Stewart said. In my world more AOA is better. I personally would consider 6" gear if you plan to run 8.50s and 31s. The Cub I fly is on 3" gear and 35s with lots of extra angle of...
I weighed my sump (O-360 C4P) at rebuild and compared with Bill Rusk's numbers. Mine weighed 11.2 lbs so the mag sump would save me only 3.7 lbs if my scale is accurate. When I checked the price was...
Doesn't Bill Rusk get 100 mph with an 84/43 throttled back. I wouldn't think there is a true 20mph difference on big tires with the same prop, especially the flatter the prop. 84/46 seems like a lot...
1090 on 35s with no starter.
84/46 is pretty cruisey.54557

This sounds a lot like a Cub vs. Husky thread....stir[emoji6]
Bob's proto Patrol looked really impressive at the WAD. Never saw it enroute even when running 100-105 mph. The Bearhawks were way, way...
Cubcrafters publishes a lot of numbers at "ideal" weight. Might get a better idea by verifying performance with similar loads across the board.

No wonder it's hard to get and accurate conversion weight from 31s to 35s. Somewhere between 24 and 38 lbs seems like a big range.

With a brake disc or without?

I have a set of older worn out 31s that are 41.22 lbs each on a 3 bolt 1.5 inch axle Cleveland wheel with the thinner brake disc.
The fairly early (experimental) 35s I use are on Greg Miller's...
35s can be really tough if they have been on for a while. I tried to get them off the rims for the ferry flight and eventually gave up for fear of damage.

If the Borer is turning 2700 on takeoff, what RPM does it turn in a climb?

Inspiring!

Any reason against switching an O-360 C4P to a hollow crank during rebuild?
Jason at Aerotech says the AD on the hollow crank bore was later proven to be based on a couple cranks that were prop...
Those early models don't really need an interior. I would ditch it. StewartB's interior style is nice if you want something in there.

I have time in the 56, 57, 59, 60, 66, 79, 81 T182 and newer T182T.
Worked the 66 in the jungle. The bigger cabin is cool and will fit three skinny folks on the bench but I hated the lowrider gear...
A little unorthodox, but the engine left Miami yesterday on it's way to Nova Scotia.52114

I can get a CO alarm in a low power cruise descent if not perfectly coordinated. I'm safer to overuse the left rudder in a descent to keep fumes from coming in the left side. I have a Carbon Concepts...
