I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or can share their experiences with Superflite system 7? I've become quite interested in the system and have spoke with Randy Long about the process. I'm very close to trying it out and would just like to hear some pros and cons. Thanks, Ryan

Hi everyone, I'm seeking advice from anyone who has put a PA-18 trim system in a J3 using the Atlee Dodge STC. I'm trying to decide whether or not to do this on a J3 project. I've dealt with more stock J3 trim systems that work poorly than those thet have worked well. I'm not that familiar with...

Hi everyone I've chasing a vibration issue in my Cub for quite some time now and I'm about ready to take the engine apart to have balanced. It is a Continental 90-8 with a McCaulley 71X46 prop. It has a standard PA-18 95 cowling with an Ercoupe spinner and back plate. It has a slight vibration...

I was wondering if any of you have experience or any info, good or bad, on this prop. I'm considering one for my C-90 powered Exp. Cub. My main questions are how much does it weigh, and how easy and fast is to change blade angles? I will appreciate any insight, Ryan

Just wondering if any of you out there have or use an english wheel. I would like to buy one and would like some opinions on where to buy one. I don't need to use it for anything more than "light airplane" work, cowling, wheel pants ect. so I don't think I would need that big of a english wheel...

We've covered the tail and ailerons and when spraying the first coat of nitrate alot of fish eye and pin holes developed as soon as the dope hit the surface, like the fabric was contaminated with some sort of oil or other substance. The fabric came of a bolt of ceconite 102 that was purchased...

It seems there has been a few guys around here recently that were looking to get into a Cub type airplane for around 20k. There is a PA-11 on Barnstormers right now for $20,500. The ad says it needs an annual and airframe repair, I have know idea how in depth either of those would be for this...

We would like to put an -18 front seat in our -11 and I was wondering if it requires any modification to the fuse or if it will just bolt up to the standard att. points? Thanks.

In the Sept/Oct 2003 issue of Cub Clues there is a piece on Aileron spar and hinge corrosion. Then during a pre-flight inspection of our J-3 I discovered a severe crack in the aileron spar at the center hinge. Removal of the aileron and closer inspection revealed more cracking. We cut off the...

I would like to build a paint booth that could be put up and taken down when not in in use. Like something you could assemble in the corner of your hangar that is not permanent. Some that I have seen are constructed w/ 2x4's and covered in plastic. Does anyone here use a paint booth like this...

In Cub Clues there is announcement asking if anyone would be interested in participating in a Cub fly in at Pioneer Field ( Oshkosh Wi, EAA ) in May. Sounds like there would be a Cub forum. If anyone that likes old airplanes and has not been to Pioneer Field or the EAA museum they should go...

Who makes a good black wrinkle paint, and what is the best technique for applying it?

We our trying to decide whether to stick w/ the one 18gal. or go w/ dual 18gal. tanks in our Pa-11 (90hp). We want to stay light, but the extra fuel would be nice on trips to Sentimental Journey, Sun N Fun, ect. The plane will have no electrics and basic instruments so we'll save some weight...
