Another question parts for CubCrafters. The quarter turn phillips lock on our oil access door, not sure if it's called an airloc, camloc, or what from my research. I had a pin that I noticed almost came out, I recentered it, then this weekend it came out. I got lucky the sun reflected off of it...
The cowl screws CubCrafters use seem quite soft, guessing they're aluminum. I have spares but does anyone know the source of these? There are 4 long ones and the rest are standard. I'd love to know where to get them should I decide to replace them more frequently if I had a bulk supply on hand.
In recent videos by Trent Palmer he mentioned a product and the last video he was sponsored by AeroGuard. The first video he made I looked at the product and stopped when I saw the price compared to my favorite windscreen cleaner - Prist Windscreen Cleaner. I've tried about all of our cub...
I like using the Garmin G3X Lean Assist but it seems to lock the EGT values at the point of going lean. Or am I seeing something wrong? I need to check again but I'm at the point where I like to come out of lean assist mode so I can see actual EGT's. I believe when in the lean assist mode it...
Per my other thread I've had issues with coil packs failing with my lightspeed ignition. CubCrafters via Lightspeed recommend the Denso IK27 iridium plugs. In testing my plugs by measuring resistance, I had 6 that were 5.7 kohms, one was 4.9 and the other 6.3 which I discarded, pulled two more...
Has anyone had an issue getting the 24 month transponder certification done? I'm coming due and last time I went to my local maintenance shop they were stumped by my Carbon Cub, I think they weren't setup for my pitot tube or something. What's involved in this and again, any problems getting it...
This is a reminder, as I remind myself, as mentioned in a seminar last year at EAA AirVenture to keep a digital copy of your logbooks. The aircraft/airframe being the most important but losing the logbooks from fire, flood, etc. could impact the ability to sell your aircraft in the future.
Fellow CubCrafters' owners, I had a discovery tonight that was a bit interesting and/or concerning. My aileron cable tension is wonderful, very easy controls left/right. Recently though things felt stiffer and I was concerned something may be binding somewhere and carefully checked pulley's...
I've seen the barrage of videos touting the X5 on release day. While they certainly make things look good, I fell for this the last time with the X4 and as you can tell, I'm not overly impressed with the insta360's. I first got the X2 and was not thrilled with the quality of the video yet it...
My last FX-3 had a 50-60ft difference if I recall and I had it recalibrated under warranty and that got it within 10-20ft difference. My new FX-3 it appears was calibrated, the altitudes matched but now a year and a half later they seem to be drifting apart with the G5 now 30-40 ft different. As...
By request I made the below video detailing the BRS in my CubCrafters Carbon Cub FX-3. I'm curious of what the opinions are as to why those went with it, opted not to get it, are you considering adding it, etc? CubCrafters announced they are available for mods post delivery so you could take...
I got one of these made about two years ago from the upholstery shop that made my custom floor cushion for my dog. I gave them the vinyl not so great one I got with my plane to use as a template and it came out great. @Tsquared asked me about glare issues and I told him what I use and it solves...
I'm experiencing some issues with microfiber towels leaving a residue. It may be from a poor laundering technique or the towels breaking down and time to throw out? I'll be buying some new towels soon and am curious what towels you all recommend for windscreen and general cleaning? Obviously I...
Care to answer if you borescope (or have your engine borsecoped) routinely such as with every annual/condition inspection? When I paid to have my condition inspection done, the A&P/IA did not borescope it, and quite frankly the entire inspection was minimal hence why I never went back to that...
