  1. About 1958-59, I helped rebuild 22 Piper Cubs at Sussex, N.J. It was great fun sanding and checking for cracks and priming the metal, then pulling on the Irish linen socks, sewing and doping the fabric, one coat of nitro and two coats of Butyrate with anti-fungal and second with aluminum powder, then two coats of cub yellow. They sold for around $5,000. At 15 years old, I was not allowed to rebuild the engines though (which I could have done). I remember the owner threw away the 4 or 5 old Franklin engines and replaced them with Continentals 65 hp. Had some Lycomings too. I still build and fly R/C models, Cubs being my favorite.

  3. Depending on the wind, the speedometer was off a bit.

  4. Aw come on! There is no way a car engine can be rated for flying without extensive rework.

  5. Yep; the federal government can't find me in their computer system for what ever reason even though I know I'm in there someplace. What a pain.
