I lost my airplane in a windstorm in 2014 in Alaska, it blew for 3 days sometimes well over 50 mph maybe more like 70, I don't actually know how strong because I left the spot to gather items to fix the airplane. The guide that was on the ground reported it just got worse after I left. Long...

I made my own also just the way Steve did. I think it was less then 300.00 for the ti

I think the price of a Super Cub is pretty relative to the economy. I can't remember for sure but I think a new cub in 1979 was like 30K, I bought my first house for 30K in the early 80's. That same house today is 500K

As to adjustment of the new TISHX suspension system there is none that I know of other than the adjustment at the end of the rod for length. I know Loni and he is not just blowing smoke about this shock. I watched him testing it at gross weight one day fairly early on and it was a place he dug...

It's hard to get stopped short if your wheels are not making contact with the ground and that is what all of these newer shocks help with. I could not believe the difference in Acme shocks and landing rough places. I am going to get a set of the new Ti Alaska Gear shocks for sure. I am with...

Yeah I get that, have not had a problem with Polyfiber and Black paint. I had problem using Aerothane over Oratex tapes and glues.

I built a custom set of horizontals for Bushwacker 2.0 after I had it already flying. I had used Polyfiber and Aerothane originally but had some silver Oratex fabric and tapes left over from a super cub that I did. I am not one to want to waste anything and figured it would save a little weight...

I did not get a response on it. I am not sure if Airframes shock is charged with Nitrogen. Maybe someone from Airframes will chime in here. I know the Airframes shock has preload on the spring and I know from my own experience disassembling the ACME there is really no preload on them. Both...

I have not flown them, but I watched Loni testing them in Doug Kellers Super Cub one day at gross weight. They have been testing them for over two years. What I know personally about ACME is that they worked really well for me. They worked the best on really rough uneven terrain a real game...

It would be fun to do a real world test with all available options on the same airplane at both light weight and heavy weight in the same spots. I happen to have some inside knowledge about the amount of effort that went into the development of this new shock and it was extensive.

It probably has more testing done than any other shock ever made for a Super Cub. The weight does not really matter if it works better for off airport operations (within reason). It is made from lightweight materials and made to be strong too (the internal spring is steel so you can't get around...

I have always just used stainless steel nuts and stainless steel split washers with Permatex anti seize lubricant applied to threads and never had an issue. Maybe just lucky but it works for me. I have never torque them to any particular torque either, just what feels good. Never had an exhaust...

Do adding the stock louvers to each side of the lower cowling help the engine run cooler. Question: Would they not effect the differential pressure also... Or do they help to evacuate the hot air better. I am looking for any real world difference. Has anyone built the cowling without and then...

It looks like to much positive camber to me, if you land side hill not good.

Carbon Concepts makes a dakota style wing tip that is longer than the dakota. That is what I am using on my 4 place cub. They look good out of the box but I have not tried to fit them up yet. Length wise Carbon Concepts actually look similar to the pictures of the tip above.

I was camped out in Big Creek drainage last week and I was surprised that two different Carbon Cubs where dragging the river (tires in it) I was just below Cabin Creek fly fishing. It was mid afternoon and a red and a yellow carbon cub were playing for a good 1/2 hour low level **** that I...

I bought torque tube from Javron for my 4 place airframes fuselage.

Experimental so you can use what you want. That caliper is double puck two rivet pad. It has a thicker pad then the 3 rivet double puck that most certified cubs use and is heavier. I have used it on Maule gear and Cub gear no problem. The pad is .236 thick vs .187 if I remember correctly...

Have Fun, Don't Die. I like your signature line. I have had a few accidents over the years and it seems like each one is as difficult as the last one to get past. It almost always results in wishing I had just a few seconds back to think things through better. Then there is the months of...
