His Camel he is building up will have a Gnome! Should be a little rocket.

It shouldn't if appropriate and reputable repairs are made and then thoroughly documented. Reality? Buyers use it as a negotiating tactic, knowing full well the stigma that damage creates makes for a very effective psychological tool that can be brought to bear on the seller. Owner or...

Everyone has an engine hoist available to them with just a little asking somewhere within a half mile of any hangar. If a little common sense is used, with a healthy respect for stored energy and proper support materials, it is a simple and painless way to do a bungee change without specialty...

Starts to become not so simple... Whatever floats a guy's boat. I'm in the Hudson Valley at a little grass strip where we have several slant roof structures withstanding snow load for 60 odd years. We post them in the winter. If done right you can still move airplane in and out, and its...

This PDF link has a small section about building a simple hangar. https://www.mdt.mt.gov/aviation/docs/sample-texas-design-guide.pdf

Pay someone to open it up for you. If Seller wants it gone he shouldn't have a problem with that. If he does have a problem then walk away.

Would have to see the source, but it is suspect. xcub.com/specs is the factory published numbers. Note the asterisk though, they are qualified as being at gross weight.

They are not. 170 feet is best case scenario. That's minimum fuel and single occupant, no bags. And really...there's a lot of factors and variables with that. Pilot, surface conditions...yada yada. When the dealers went out and had our first crack at it, some of the guys were measuring off...

The spring gear was put on it first to get it through the certification. Traditional Cub type gear is forthcoming for those who desire or require. To Mauleguy's point, he's correct...even a newly rebuilt Supercub can still be had for something considerably less than the new XCub. CubCrafters...

They did. The spring gear is pretty slick, with everything else helping it becomes a very fast little bird when needed. Traditional gear will be available too.

There's ten or so still flying. Dads shop is just south of Atlanta. He's had four separate D-25's go they there over the years, from light maintenance to complete resto. There's a set of wings coming together in Nate's shop up in Kentucky. Ted has a project that he would like to sell if anyone...

55-60 were built. N176H that Mike (RIP) was in at OSH is rebuilt and is the black and orange one on the TAP cover. We fly it hopping rides at ORA extensively. A second ORA D-25 is undergoing its own rebuild as we speak, so that we may have two ORA ships flying again. Helps with weekend...

Its not crazy at all. The engine hoist or come-along is the cheapest, easiest and safest (if you are even halfway mechanically apt) way to do it, hands down. See the link up above to the previous thread. No one should feel like they have to send this job out and pay extra money for it. It is...

There are some pretty good answers over there now, most of them leading up to don't do it or use a different engine to get better results. The 2020 ADS-B mandate is an excellent reason to stay away from retrofitted electrics in a Cub http://www.j3-cub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26900

Wing span is six inches less. The cowling is cleaned up with no gaps/exits behind the cheeks (which is a huge aerodynamic hit on the Supercubs). The airplane is comparatively lighter than a SC or Scout or anything else really. And this gets a little bit more into the wishy-washy, but the...

They can be sold for profit by the builder, it HAS been done. If you haven't yet, I would recommend checking in here: http://www.cubcraftersforums.com/forum.php

Peachstate definitely and its a short drive from PTC. Are you interested in residential airport property? Shoot me a PM and I will put you in touch with my dad who lives in the same area, on an airfield. He could put you in touch with some available places.

Heath. Wish I could find my picture of them. Fun little ski for a J-3.

I fly right seat in Amphib Caravans working in and out of East River and Long Island Sound. Company policy is gear in proper landing config five miles out, no matter what. At the five-to-go mark you set/check the gear handle in whichever gear position you are landing for...Water or land. It...
