Hi Keith,
The process of a repair using Stewart Systems is pretty close to what you outlined but a couple differences. I go over repairs as part of the covering and painting seminars I do for SS.
...

I pulled off the two pieces of leather I glued yesterday with EkoBond. The piece glued to the paint pulled off the paint and EkoFill attached to the leather; the glue did not come loose. The piece...

I think that's the best way to do it. Do you have an aluminum piece under the fairing; nut plates or just screws into the plate?
Marty

Did you topcoat the leather? That would be the best; than it's just like any patch. Without a top coat I think it will come off. I can peel off this piece of leather but it tears the leather,...

I did a couple examples; pictures below. I did one on a painted surface and one on EkoFill (the UV coating). I scuffed the paint and the Ekofill and traced my leather. I coated the leather once,...

When making a repair, you can glue directly onto our paint by just scuffing the surface and applying the Ekobond to both surfaces and then applying it to the surface. I'm not sure how that would...

Again, Bob knows nothing about our products or how they are produced. EkoBond and 3m glues are both green and that's the only similarity between the two. One is a contact cement (3m) and one is...

Bob,
I don't know who "they"are that you are referring to but our glue is not 3m glue. Our Stewarts System EkoBond is made entirely in house in Ohio and meets the requirements of the STC. I'm not...

Vans aircraft has a sidewall vent kit for $18; not certified so not sure if it would work on a Super Cub.

In this type of case, who applies for and receives the repairman's certificate for that aircraft? Only one person can have that certificate so if an LLC is listed as builder, who qualifies? FAA...

Wood or metal spars on the home built J3 wings? Spar spacing should be the same but you never know based on the plans used.

If you use Teflon paper rather than parchment paper, you will avoid the issue of sticking....

As John said; it's about learning how to use Stewart Systems. Here's a shot of finished panels from one of the seminars we teach. These panels were all done in my garage/shop by first time users of...

Agree. It was just one bushing to weld on and I got the electric trim from Javron with his jack screw and yoke. Super easy.

Someone sent me drawings for wood flaps and ailerons; can't remember who. I followed the plans but reproduced the drawings in CAD. The lightning holes were on the original drawings for the wood...

I put flaps on my Wag 2+2 wings. It's basically a wood super cub wing. I think everything would translate nicely to the Sport Trainer. You could modify the top deck to match the Super Cub and get...

Use the 1/4" Superflite reinforcing tape, that's close enough to rib width and what I use.

If a shop has three or four guys building two or three identical kits a year; they are manufacturing said kit. They sell it as an EAB but likely had a buyer before the build started. That's...

Hmmmm; I think you are right about that being an issue where the header might run out of fuel if delay in takeoff is excessive. You are correct; the red is a front port and is connected to same line...

Good points for sure; the stock Wag set up would not work without a header tank. On the Commonwealth, does the tank have front and rear ports; and where do they tie in and head to the header tank? ...

After reading all the opinions on the posts about the Dakota Cub drawings for the headerless system; I have to ask the simple question ........ why remove the header tanks? Is it just for weight...

This is getting more and more confusing everyday. Where is the gascolator located on the firewall (height up from center of firewall) and how high above the floor board is the fuel selector. All...

If rib stitching; here's a twist I teach. The Staggerwing Beech knott has an extra half hitch (going under the needle an extra time) for the first and last stitch on the rib. If you need to start a...

Yup, your are right. I hadn't looked at it in a while; there was just the one diagonal brace running through the tank and no crisscross of brace wires. My bay is now closer to the Skyranger; a good...

I had the wires crisscrossing the tank bay, as per the drawings. When I found the data for the Skyranger, I removed the wires after I glued the shear plate inplace. With that done, any tank would...
