Haven't burned an new metal onto the 14 yet BUT I have been flying the 12 as much as I can this summer and lately I have been helping my buddy finish final assembly of his homebuilt plane. both of those has me motivated and excited to get back at the 14. My buddy took over a Murphy rebel build...

Beautiful Farmall Cub nhayes! its the tractor I am after, except a year older then yours if i had a choice so its the same year as my PA12. found the 130 local so I snagged it up ( I don't live in farm country, far from it actually) so when a farm tractor pops up you gota buy it... at least...

here is what I currently have. I like equipment so I have ended up with a collection of sorts from right to left: Bombardier BR100+ , a heavily modified Hough HA , CAT 920 I bought last fall I'm slowly fixing up ( I have another for parts as well) , and a farmall 130. here is my John deere...

Figured I'd let anyone know who stumbles on this thread there is a cheap option for fuel jugs that fit in the EDO 2000 float hatches, more then likely even free! go find someone running a round engine, beaver guy for example... ask what oil they run. If they run 25W60 phillips they probably buy...

I can offer this up, doesn't give you lengths in inch's but its a starting point with some numbers to look up at least. if i had to guess I would think you want 75736 tube and 69116 stick.

I've noticed a few parts no longer on wag's website since I started my 2+2 in 2019, one big one that comes to mind is pa12 fuel tanks. I have read that parts were so-so but everything I have from them has been fine, hope spruce brings back things like that. It also might make things simpler for...

Thanks! me and big projects don't jive well... I am short on space and have many irons in the fire so to speak. when I have big projects happening something small will pop up like a loader with a bad engine for a great price, so me being me will see it and think "I can buy that, take a 2 week...

been at a stand still since last fall unfortunately, I needed garage space to catch up on some maintenance with my trucks and equipment over the winter so I coated it in acf 50 and wrapped it up, brought it to my cabin and stored it in my garage with my boat for the winter. once the snow is gone...

As some of you might know I've been slowly building a PA14, well this weekend I made the tough call to wrap up and store the air frame for a little while. I spend almost all my time in the garage during the winter, summer is to short here to be inside, but last winter I spent a lot of time...

Thank you! 12183 was what I was looking for. it and NL 20491 should get me where I'm going, I have a bigger vertical then the plans called for so I have to modify the tower anyways.

Hi vic glad to see you are soon going to be back at it, I to am going to try and get back at mine, I had every intention of cutting and welding this weekend but I ended up with stitches in my index finger yesterday, so today has been a research and planning kinda day. where in the northland...

shipping to labrador is expensive as well, I have same problem $10 worth of hardware costing almost 10x that by the time its in my hands. spruces shipping calculator is strange at best, I check the shipping cost every time I add an item because sometimes 1 item will send the cost to the moon...

surprisingly this winter in Labrador has been very mild and not a lot of snow in my area. spring is also coming early here, I was still leaving from my house on snowmobile last year April 26th. this year I cant as of this weekend. has been above freezing daytime temps for most of last week and...

another vote for 20W50 , I used to run 15W50 but last time I went to order it I realized the case size from AC spruce ( cant buy oil locally) was 6 quart's and the shipping cost per case was same for the 20w50 for 12 quarts, price is different now go figure, but after running it my oil...

seeing I'm here i figured I'd check out my own and get some pictures. here you can see I started my takeoff at point 1450, next point i was doing 20mph so I didn't start there. where I got off is a bit harder to tell, i went with elevation at point 1455 but looking at the speed I was...

if you have a garmin gps you can do a few things. turn before power in and turn off the water, plug gps in computer and on garmin base camp you'll see the turns and the program has a measure feature. that would be most accurate. you can also click on parts of your track and see the speeds and...

thanks! its nice to hear first hand info like that. eases my mind now to play around some more in my PA12, I still wont be doing any intentional spins though. just more stalls in different conditions so I know the plane better.

I'm in the group that slips almost every landing, I like the visibility and its just how I've gotten comfortable controlling my decent. I also almost always do a left wing low slip, only time I do it other way is for crosswind and I'll admit I'm rusty at it. this video was in another thread on...

skywagon I'm curious your take on spins in a float plane? I've heard different things on this from my instructors, my first instructor when I asked him one day out in the c152 after doing spins told me not to try it you might not be able to recover and to not even try stalls. he was not a...

not an aviation gps but maybe there's some maps a smarter person with electronics then me could install, But I use a garmin 276CX (the new model, not the old 276) now for the plane, boat and snowmobile. I have an aera 500 in the PA12 and its good for airport/airspace data but leaves a lot to be...
