It does look roomy! Ok. LV is civil in Argentina for some reason I only remembered LQ.

A few were exported to Latvia? You are in Latvia?
It looks a bit like a cross between a SuperCub and a Maule.
That is a nice plane mikevictor!
Thank you everyone for all of the input, both units sound good for slightly different reasons. The weight of the F&M is lighter than the Airwolf, and has been the deciding factor for me. The Culver...
Thanks Brock,
It is good to know that. I'm surprised that there are no other comments about oil filters.
Does anyone have experience with either the F&M oil filter adapter or the Airwolf system for a Continental C-85-12 engine.
I just changed oil again and carefully pulling the oil temperature probe...
Thanks Ron, Dave, Marty and Mike.
It appears that an auto fuel STC is the way to go. I'm not sure of the available fuel supply without ethanol. It appears two local airfields that had Mogas last...
It is good to hear the TCP has worked well for you.
The Stromburg carburetor on my engine is unfortunately set full rich with no way to lean. The manual for the engine states that leaning below...
Hello,
Does anyone have experience with TCP additive in fuel?
I have been using 100LL in a C-85 for the few hours I have flown this aircraft.
I've read about 3 tanks mogas to one of 100LL...
Thanks Marty. it is good to know tweaking the cam plate is possible.
The "breakout" force when the parts were simply cleaned and lubed seems correct. The old grease was so gunked up and stiff...
Your tailwheel looks fine Ron, grass and all. My tailwheel was very greasy before cleaning!
All of the tailwheel parts are cleaned up, the new replacement wheel needed is mounted, and I have a...
I have a replacement hard Maule tailwheel. There is a rubber molding line down the center of the rubber tire, protruding about 1/16" or more. Is this smoothed with a fine emery cloth even with the...
Tre,
What is the specification for the 1/4"
ply on the plans or Hatz materials list. I assume there is a Hatz builders group online. What is their input regarding ply? Mil Spec and Germanischer...
Thanks, I have found a solution.
Thanks for posting this. I'm very sorry to hear this. I wonder if FHC might pick up key aircraft.
Well said Victor Bravo. Your comment regarding homebuilt aircraft as a central theme is certaininly what was previosly the focus of EAA and certainly Sport Aviation. How many years was the cover an...
Fair enough comment Marty. What I do see though, in issues subsequent to the 2011 and 2012 Oshkosh events, is very little in the way of photos or general comment regarding aircraft like the Celerity...
There was a nice article by Budd Davission on a Celerity built by Gary Rene of Minnesota.
This Celerity was a Lindy winner in 2011 and seems to be a natural subject
for a cover photo main article....
Thanks Colin!
It is good to know your inspector thought vent holes were a good idea.
I asked this general question on our builders group last year. I was finally getting around to actually
making...
Thanks for all of the responses. I placed drain holes in what are generally low areas if one wingtip is low, near the base of intercostals. I used System Three Clear Coat epoxy, as this is a...
I am building a 1930's design that was originally built with no drain holes in the wing box spars, or the box spars for the tail or elevator. A number of builders are closing the spars without any...
I am interested in how the serial number works on a homebuilt project. Some plans I have purchased come with a plans serial number, others have no such serial number. How does this work for plans...
That is a great article on the Dormoy Bathtub. Thanks Ron.
Thanks for posting that Zack. Looks very interesting!
Be nice everyone!
If you have an opinion please state that opinion but getting too personal will lead to ruining the forum. We all love aviation and need to treat each other well even if we have a...
