    Broken Tail wheel bolt

    you can always get a two hole upper casting from Mr. Wup, Pawnee Tail springs from Univair, use the eye bolt and a standard AN 7, these puny little Scott Tailwheels take one hell of a pounding, it's amazing to me they last as long and work as well as they do. My tail is 3 pounds heavier than...

    Symptoms of Rough Running PA18, need Diagnosis

    I recently had a similar mystery, turned out a very slight fuel stain on one intake pipe was the clue, the bolts holding the cap were slightly loose, a new gasket and tightening the bolts and it's run fine since. That was after pulling both mags and going through them, replacing the plugs with...

    low altitude waiver?

    This is all very enlightening and I highly recommend each of you abides by the letter of the Law....ahem..on the other hand telling a bunch of Cub Pilots to stay at 500 feet above a fence line or a telephone pole is like trying to tell your teenage driver to obey the speed limit....good reasons...

    Beaten by a girl

    my wife did the same thing 40 years or so back, embarrassed me with a .22 and beer cans so got her into trap shooting and her rhythm and understanding of shot patterns rivaled any man I've ever shot with, about the time I'm dreaming of her winning the honors at Dayton she said shooting was...

    Brake Pedal Links

    I got some 3/16th steel rod, threaded both ends, used some clevis ends to adjust the length just right, used a jam nut against each clevis to keep it right, these rods got rid of the slop inherent with the original wire's, there's a hundred way to do it and all of them are better than the...

    Thanks Pops and Austin!

    It took out a ten inch section, full width, from the center mounting screws forward. That and twisted the left side fairing between the tank and skylight. I'm pretty sure the head set band took the impact but my poor old hard head was sore for a few days anyway. Did you guys do the Bowling...

    Well Wup sells them with the bladders, I bought one and it works well but then the spout broke so I got a combo set at a Yamaha Super Store, if it's made by Yamaha they sell it, the end piece screws right into the bladder then there's an on off valve (PVC, similar to the one's Bush Wheel sells)...

    ABI Fuel Bags

    Now you've got me nervous, I think I'll siphon out five gallons and pour it back in only as you suggest through a filter funnel. I just filled the plane up in prep for an Idaho trip next weekend, those recip siphon hoses are made of vinyl too. Thanks for the heads up!
