What is stated here is not the truth. The issue was with PA's an a big NAV light on the top of the rudder in which the rudder was not design to have that mass in it. The standard Cub rudder without a NAV light is fine.
You mentioned that you should have aborted the takeoff but then what would your options have been at that point? I can't imagine that there is anything a guy could do to improve the runway conditions. Was it just going to continue to get wetter there or does that terrain dry out that time of year? I see that it snowed in the intervening 3 weeks. Do you ever have to leave a plane until it snows and then put skis on it to get out of situations like this?
Would have liked to see how they compared to the Acme Aero Black Ops. It seems like these would be a better apples-to-apples product comparison with a similarly constructed suspension product.
Having flown Bungess for over 40 years on dozens of Cubs, have flown AOSS for 5 years. There is ALOT more difference than this test indicates! This video is obviously rigged as a sales promotional video. Can't speak to how these compare to AOSS but just looking at how splayed out the Aoss appear to me, they appear totally worn out? or they have ALOT more weight on top of t hem??? Something is very " rigged" in this video as we dropped tested ours after switching to AOSS; and our own testing showed Aoss to be about 50% better than good bungee. I would expect these are better, BUT very doubtful as much better as this video depicted........ be cautious of these claims or you could be paying alot for lazer engraving and anodizing..... 😮
@@purplepenguin43 I am all set with AOSS, however I am sure these a great shocks, since I am done guiding and don't really need anything more than Aoss, I am all set on suspension. You should grab a set and let us know how you like them.???
@@airframesalaska8030 I LOVE your stuff, but sometimes I can't afford it because my ride will never make any revenue. The gear and suspension equal about 1/3 of the value of my old PA-12, and probably won't fit anyway unless there's a PA-12 cabane vee. Meanwhile, I can still get into ALMOST as many places as a very nice PA-18 will even with the hilarious bounces provided by my stupid old bungees.
Hi, im building a sailcar to ride on the beach and want to know how good this tires might be . I been riding kite buggy for a long time and always wanted to buy bigfoot which is similar to this wheels. How big is the hub? Are they suitable for landsail?
Good video - my homestead was in Yenlo Mts. , just north of the Talchulitna R. - Yep gets a little Soggy in that high country sometimes. Cub looked pretty good afterall.
So there have been 2 known in-flight failures out of tens of thousands of aircraft spanning 70+years and they were still controllable and landed uneventfully . And this justifies an Airworthiness Directive?
So there have been 2 known inflight failures out of how many thousands or tens of thousands of piper airplanes spanning 70 years and the aircraft involved were still controllable. And this justifies and AD?
I reckon these fellows have gone out of bussiness. Don't answer comment questions in Their Very OWN video. Either that, or they're busier than a one'legged man in an Ass Kicking Contest ! ☆
