What they said. Easy job to replace the gasket. I would do it sooner than latter, mine went and pumped out 6 quarts in about 3 min. DENNY

It was at Birchwood. Parked in front of my IA's hanger the owner had a PHD in aeronautical engineering if I remember his degree correctly. He had also built a plane that looked like a flying...

I got to fly in the Monster cub last week and it is a Beast!! Thanks LITECUB!! The slats let you get super slow and still be stable. Even with big flaps the AOA on landing is very high so you have...

Well there ya go. The tires look nice. If they pulled the rims out make sure they don't try to add air without the rims in. Once I saw the pimped out letters I knew Gabe would have the answer.:lol:...

I would suspect that cords are showing and someone wrote experimental on the side as a CYA move. I have not heard of Airframes making a experimental 31 in tire. You can call Gabe at Airframes and...

When you say you can't trim below 70 to 80 mph on final, what exactly do you mean? The stabilizer has more room to travel but won't move. The front of the stabilizer is sitting on the upper...

Yep, there it is for some reason I had a picture of the lien lever in my mind

Pretty sure my carb does not have a spring on the throttle. Depending on the prop it could go well past redline if it did.

I’ve used in reach for several years now and I’ve been very happy with the performance. I have a buddy that picked up the spot buddy app and was upgrading the performance. He had some issues last...

I would not use the Atlee Dodge mod. Follow this thread for why. https://www.supercub.org/forum/showthread.php?57798-Folding-front-seat

Steve where are you getting the 1500lb weight?
DENNY

He actually hit his spot pretty good but he was dragging it in and look kind of fast.

Mostly because all the hype about how great a performer it was. The highest empty weight I see in all the adds is 1230 lbs. Pretty close to Cache's cub. WITH 55 MORE HP THAN THE 160HP Cache had.

Current spin/stall training for a private pilot is woefully inadequate. Standard training that demands holding altitude during a turn. Add that to all the pressure and during a STOL event and you...

Valdez 2014 wheel landing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjwCcQq38i8 54:30 That is how it is done!!
DENNY

Shortest possible landing is much easer with a wheel landing. 3 point and you wing is still producing lift and the brakes are very ineffective (skidding/hopping) with hard braking until the plane...

No right answer. (I would start with #16 advice) The reason the instructor is having you do a lot of this now is so you get a "feel" for how the engine should run and a knowledge of how to set up a...

In general you should be full rich for takeoff at 3,000 ft. Leaning for taxi and during run up will is fine because that is basically a mag/carb heat check. Leaning at 3,000 feet during take off...

I don't have the numbers but it was a Great time!!! More snow than I have ever seen before still on the airfield. They had all the runway and parking clear but the gravel area that we usually park...

I always use 1/2 flaps for takeoff sometimes full flaps depending on the performance I want. Flaps lower my stall speed so I look at it as a safety issue. Same with landing usually full flaps...

Just a general pontification on airspeed indicators. The important thing is to know what the airspeed number really means. If you indicator is off by 5 mph but you know what the indicated speed is...

What kind of pitot tube do you have? Some can be adjusted. If you get a new one get one that will go to 20 MPH. DENNY

It was one of the best years for the crowd. Lots of sun, temps were fine for Alaskans. The wind was all over the place especially for the Heavy Touring. We watched the sock make a complete 360...
