I recently purchased a 1952 PA-18-135. I would like to install Borer's STC SA292AL to increase the GW to 1750# for training purposes.
I've sent to Karen Byerly for the STC. FYI her Cell number is 907-317-7732 and she asked me to post that information here. She also told me that she consults with Steve at Atlee for technical issues, so if some day in the future, you can't get in touch with her, maybe try him. But for now, she's happily selling the STC's and talking about her Dad.
My cub is on the left (blue) and an image from SC.org is on the right. I believe I'm missing the four tubes required for this STC.
Has anyone installed these tubes without recovering the fuselage? I've read a few posts suggesting that one could cut the fabric around the weld locations. Has anyone successfully done this?
Second question, I'm assuming that I have the non-heavy chane. But this machine came off the line as a sprayer and then was sent back for seats. So I'm wondering if maybe it got the heavier gear install. How can one tell for certain?
Thanks!
