Let me start with a disclaimer to save some of those lurkers with itchy fingers looking to tell me how dumb I am. I’ll save you the trouble. I’m a very experienced pilot that knows exactly how dumb he is and went ahead and flip flopped on wheels in snow in spite of having read and heard plenty...

So I had my shop replace my streamlined wires with a new set from dakota. New wires rigged per spec and square and where once was a nice tight tail there is now a frightening amount of play. The play seems to center around the junction in the rear vertical stabilizer post, but is most visually...

I'm away from these skis for a while, and have an interested buyer. He's asking for the dimension from bottom of ski to the center of the axle in regards to prop clearance for an 82" prop on stock -18 gear. If anyone knows the dimension, could measure theirs, or have experience with this...

Curious how people mount/store their axe. The struts seem like a good place with rubber grip straps but probably is frowned upon by the feds in the lower 48. I don’t have extended baggage in the -12, but do have a fishing Rod tube and the -14 cathedral brace. 27” axe. Let’s hear what y’all do.

So I went down the rabbit hole that is the throttle cable clamp topic on here. I saw a lot of stuff on larger engines, especially with lord mounts, but am curious what is necessary/recommended on the O320 with conical mounts. If I’m honest I’m pretty sure we’ve just had a setup with one Adele...

Hey all, had a local shop make sure I have the right MS part number carb for my engine. We have an O320-A1A with standard pistons. The part number on my Ma4SPA is 10-5217 which I’m told is supposed to be on a D2J. I’m told I’m supposed to have a 10-3678-12. so two questions. 1- can anyone...

Hey all, I’ve found some stuff on here about this, but we haven’t fixed the issue. My -12 is the only cub type plane I’ve flown, and the brake setup is the only type of this sort that my a&p has worked on. We’re looking for some input. our setup: Ak bushwheels double puck calipers. Scott...

Hey all. Pa-12 with O-320 and Sensenich 74DM56. I bought a skull cap from spruce based on this combo but the edges of the cap extend about 1/4” beyond the edges of the prop on two sides of the cap is centered. I take it that this is not correct and that the cap should fit within the are of...

Could only find a post from like 2005. Anyone know which one fits?

After enjoying my -12 for a little while, we found this…. lower right longeron at tail cluster. The rest of the airframe seems sound, and was taken to bare metal only 8 years ago and has been hangared in dry climes since. anybody have a recommendation on where to take this for repair, and a...

Hoping for someone who has been before. I called airorms and they were not sure which set I need. They have a non-PMA "pa-12 150" kit or they have the pa-18 PMA'd kit. The Kenmore STC calls for PA-18 baffles. Here's the catch. They'll take the PA-18 set back if I order them and they...

So in some trim positions, my bungee control cable goes totally slack at one end of the elevator play and bows out to hit the fabric. There’s a keeper that keeps it on the pulley. When you move the elevator to the other extreme, this cable seems to put enough tension on the yoke assembly to...

Looking for some advice about rigging ailerons on the -12. We weren’t getting correct throw, and the rod end/bearings were corroded badly. So we replaced the rod ends and are trying to get rigged but are struggling. We’ve read everything we can find, and the erection manual seems way too...

Looks like we need to replace the trim cable in the newly named “good grief”. Anybody know of a source for a correct length cable that will fit the double pulley setup, or should we plan on making our own with the old as a guide? Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org mobile app

Gonna try and weld this one, but looking for used and cheaper than unjvair

Hi all. I’m taking possession of a -12 next week. She has an O-320, flaps, -18 tail feathers, vg’s. I am a long time pilot with a grip of tailwheel time, so I have no doubt I Will be able to safely operate the thing without bending it. I am looking however for some techniques and numbers for...

I’m closing in a few days on a PA-12! She’s N3969B that MT12 rebuilt. She got a clean bill of health from Mike Butterfield of Yakima Aerosport today, and I hope to fly her home next week. I’m looking forward to lots of fun and plenty of learning along side all of you. Pictures and details to...
