    D.A.'s Tango Cub

    Momentous day! The wings are back on (Pinned with screw drivers at least) for the first time since I've owned it. Yeah buddy!

    Tango Cubs were my first experience. I think it was 160 and 161 T. Martha bought 195T a couple decades ago, and sold it to somebody in Duluth. That one has a field approval for PK screws (yuk) that becomes invalid at recover. Robbie Grove has one with a 150 Lyc.

    The only real flaw in these birds is the toe brakes. What a horrible setup. Opinion.

    How about some better photos? We can hardly see it.

    195T was being restored by Bryan Handyside who died a few months ago in the crash of another aircraft. He had done some beautiful work on it, it will take a meticulous person to complete it in the manner he was employing.

    FWIW N311T & N323T are both owned by the same guy who hangars them at my airport.
    Both are pretty much stock, although 323 has (I think) been converted to a headerless fuel system.

    That’s about as close as you can get and still have it look halfway decent - LOL. She’s got great bones but she ain’t real pretty…

    226T is local and highly modified. We restored it a few years ago for the current owner. It has heal brakes on it even though the air frame still has the hard points for the toe brakes. Other mods include 160HP lycoming, extended tip and aileron, metal clean out, gross weight increase, etc. About the only thing that makes it stand out as a T cub is the L-21 glass.

    I'm in care of 120T which belongs to my grandparents. Hope to keep it in the family, restore it with and pass it on to my boys someday, if they have interest. Its the only Cub I've ever flown, so I don't know anything but toe brakes.
