Good question. Besides the obvious change in the empennage…..the SuperMax supports a 76 hp VW vs 50 hp VW for the V-Max. The empty & gross weight also is 100 pounds plus heavier than the V-max...
They obviously forgot one of aviation’s axioms…..Better, faster, cheaper. Pick two! :(
Grade A cotton has not been manufactured for decades. It was known to have a shelf life and if improperly stored (exposed to humidity) it will never shrink and remain taut.
Butyrate dope should...
Personal transportation such a bikes and electric recreational vehicles are not permitted (reference the Vintage FL Ops manual). However, there is a proviso that they may be permitted. I assume...
The trams are currently limited to 6-8 mph and are capable of going much faster but…..
1. One can’t go much faster simply due to all of the pedestrian traffic.
2. In a panic stop even at that low...
One can not appreciate the potential scale of the problem unless looking at Camp Scholler. The roads are constantly choked with UTVs, ATVs, golf carts, scooters, motorcycles, bikes, and EVs. EAA...
Not sure about this year but historically they are always short tram drivers/conductors. Driving thru the throngs of totally oblivious pedestrians is really mentally challenging. Moving people...
I believe Bill Rickett was the original yodeler. He passed away quite a few years ago.
I know it was all done in good fun but he was not the best. Never paid much attention to it quite...
Wouldn’t that be a nice change of pace. Could we get a day without military jets trying to destroy what’s left of my hearing too?
Wish I could say the same for the fun fly zone after the twilight flight fest. We had to FOD walk the runway every morning particularly after the nightly storms pushed the trash from the bleachers...
You would be correct. The township of Nekimi said no, but EAA is still working the issue. There is still the DNR issue but there might be some potential work arounds like shortening the proposed...
Well if you’ve got transportation I would recommend running up to Neenah or Appleton. Lots of micro brewery/pubs and you are far enough away from the AV crowd that wait times are reasonable. ...
South 40 parking has been expanded this year to include the acreage acquired several years ago. The area has also been made more user friendly with the addition of a couple of food services locations...
If you’re into checking out the show planes don’t forget the mass exodus starts on Wednesday, so I would plan a museum visit for later in the week. To add to Tired A&P, get accustomed to being on...
If you’re a GA camper I would recommend going to the North 40. The South 40 is a relatively new area and is pretty spartan and way south. The Blue Line tram also tends to get hammered and getting a...
One can pickup their wristbands at the main gate on Saturday and Sunday but they operate with a limited staff and I believe shortened hours. Ya definitely don’t want to wait until Monday morning. ...
Not exactly sure about the bus schedule but it’s only a 20 mile trip. Personally I would Uber or Lyft and then be guaranteed to be dropped off exactly where you want to be. It’s faster too.
Read 23.853, not that it applies to EABs. It’s not that it can’t burn, it can’t support combustion for more than 15 seconds once the fame is removed. Also addresses burning, dripping material too. ...
Hey boys and girls! As of this morning the clock ticked to 100 days before AirVenture. It will soon be time to get serious about traveling to Oshkosh.
Actually for large festivals and events where a turnstile count is impractical it’s not that an uncommon practice. I guess there is a driving need to be the “largest”. Personally I don’t care what...
Is it just me….but I couldn’t find any links to any of the various e-newsletters??
Good job Ethan, you’re gonna make one helluva an engineer.
This should help…
“Piper originally used nitrate dope for the J3. This is the darker, more orange shade that Piper called "Lock Haven Yellow". Some time after the [Second World War], when the supply...
There is a thread on the supercub.org BB on Cub marking. Wing N numbers were 24x16 with a 4 inch character. I tried posting a copy but I keep losing it.
