Been using these for 4 years with no issues...

Dunno - that’s just what I was told by a guy who knows ‘em better than I do. I’ll have a good Cub mech here in AK take a look during upcoming annual for any issues.

Our 2023 Legend AL18 MOAC build is much stiffer on the controls than the PA18’s I’ve flown. Darin Hart (Legend company owner) said it’s due to being a faster, burlier bird with more control forces at...

Max, in addition to being an aviator, had a keen sense of local history and a great memory. I hadn’t seen him for a few years before we had supper together in Sept ‘22. Wonderful stories and...

Thanks, Stewart.
Yes, you’re right - geometry was the factor. Once we corrected the valve guide angle by reboring and resleeving guides on proper X/Y axes, all the rest lined up and the faces are...

Jut saw the news out of St Mary’s this morning. Yes - really sad. My heart goes out to his family.

Just an update on this PPonk build- we had to pull all six cylinders in July 2022 and rebore/replace the valve guides to straighten them, as they were deemed to be off-axis and causing...

Depends on your mission.

I now regret our Sensenich ground adjustable instead of a constant speed MT or similar. We’re often loaded to gross and at the back of the cg envelope (even with a cargo...

I bought a pair of these for Holly-pup and gradually got her used to them with short term wearing + treats. Happy to report that she keeps them on in the Cub. Definitely seem to work as I have to...

I am sending a brand new LIFT carbon fiber shell helmet back to their factory for rebuild due to partially severed wiring of the Lightspeed mic wire, which they installed in rats nest fashion @...

That Decathlon must not lean well. Our AL18/Legend Cub w/ Aero Sport IO375 @ 190+ hp w/ Sensenich adjustable prop set at cruise pitch does 105mph @ 7.4gph on 850’s. That’s at gross/2,000 lbs w/XL...

No flutter. Another Legend builder has 100’s of hours in similar state of “de-slatting” with no issues.
CHT’s lowered a bit. I’ll have more data after a few cross countries en route AK

Removed just the slats and not the slat brackets yesterday for test flight before heading home to AK from TX. 5 mph increase in cruise speed at 60% power.

Q: Does anyone know if removing the...

I'm not a Cub guy by trade, so wasn't aware of these "better" options for tiedown until late in the game. Am appreciative folks here and at home suggested it before any damage done.
Legend plans to...

Yep

Putting a plate on top surface instead of patch so it will be easy to work on the tiedowns in future.

Any concerns about galvanic corrosion between the steel or titanium Atlee brackets and the aluminum spar? Is the steel version stainless?
I'm thinking titanium for weight savings

No - neither are installed.

Here it is before we pulled the brackets off and welded them properly. Still wouldn’t trust them in a big blow unless I wrapped around the spar.

Am I foolish to skip installation of the Atlee tie down brackets and instead rely on roping through the standard tie down brackets, around the struts and back through the standard brackets? This...

I had to ship my blades back to Sensenich for refinishing.
30 hrs of flying shows that the IO375 with 7.8:1 pistons easily surpasses 2,700 at full throttle cruise at 4,500' with pitch pin 6....

I tried the mutt muffs on myself, pressing them against my ears. Wasn’t impressed with the sound attenuation.

Guess I'll have to at least try the Mutt Muffs. Holly's ears stick up, though, and people report fitment issues with such.

I thought about it, but the shepherd ears don't work so well with them.

Maybe it will be better in the back where the little rascal dwells. By little, I mean compared to a longhorn steer - she's 80 lbs.
