texmex, Sometimes the only thing wrong with a vacuum DG is that the filter on the back of the instrument air inlet is clogged, reducing the air flow.

Do you have fixed up stops to limit the up travel of the flaps? Then adjust the lengths of the pushrods to the desired setting. The turnbuckles control the down travel.

What is the purpose of the plumbing in the overhead?

It's on both sources.

Leave the spring out and the washer off. Screw the cap all the way down finger tight. Look at the edge to see how much space there is remaining. Is it more or less than the dimension of the crush washer? This will tell you whether or not the threads are clean all the way to the bottom...

My fuselage was made by Javron and appears to be accurate. Drawing #12183 shows the reference line being in the center of the top longeron under the side window. Since I have two doors, It appears the top of the bottom door is the same as the reference line. Using an accurate level and a...

That looks like the person in Wasilla bought and registered it on 1/4/2017. Then when the renewal notice came...he did nothing, so it expired and the FAA canceled it. .....It probably hasn't had an annual either. :sleep:

This is a Garmin G-5. It looks as though it would fit in your panel.

Mark, I know you've spent a lot of time investigating this area of a Cub. Just for curiosity purposes, I'm attempting to find the answers to cvsak's questions. I've been unable to locate a drawing which has a dimension for the elevation of the front and rear attach bolt hole in the spars. This...

high time, actually my comment was not meant to be specific to this particular type of airplane, but for all airplanes with this type of carb/cabin heat system.

Denny, My air filter is the large round one, like the later Cubs. There is supposed to be a baffle at the rear of it to prevent cold air from bypassing the filter into the area below the engine. Just as an experiment, I did not install this baffle. I have no cooling issues with either oil or...

Here is another dimension for you to check. From the center of the top longeron to the portion of the fuselage which is in question. Which is also the location of the trailing edge of the flap. 16" If the fuselages coming from Jay are not this dimension, he needs to correct his fixtures.

That scat could easily be restricting the airflow causing #3 to overheat. Move it to outside the intake tubes.

This is 13 years old, but you may be able to find out who it was who had them on a CD. https://eaaforums.org/showthread.php?2287-Culver-Dart-Drawings Another place to search: http://aeroflight.co.uk/guide/drawings.htm A start...

25+ years ago I had a good friend who was the chief in charge of the maintenance division at the NE region (I forget the office title). He had an old set of drawings brought in for me. Also even longer ago, another friend found all the drawings for the Sikorsky S-39 at the Smithsonian. I guess...

Another possible source if the FSDO can't find them is the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC. It is my understanding that several/many years ago the FAA cleaned out some of their old files which were long out of date and gave them to the Smithsonian. A replica of the Dart with a new Verner...

Ron, wasn't your's built at about the same time frame as mine? Mine is an L-21 version with no issue. It seems strange that two of them have the same issue. After verifying everything else is correct, it would appear that the vertical channel is too short. Other than cutting and welding in a...

The Culver Dart was built by the Moncoupe company. It is approved under type certificate #674. The only place I can find this is in the aircraft listings (old print version) of the FAA and it does not mention the TC's owner. Therefore I assume it is in the public domain. Meaning if you can get a...

Keep in mind the purpose of that exit tube. It is there so that when the heat is off, there is continuous air flow through the heat muff to prevent overheating the muff. The same for the carb heat.

Gee Glenn, the global warming has hit you bad! :cool:
