    Question When to use Lean of Peak (LOP) Lycoming engines, and maybe others?

    I'm curious on when people use lean of peak vs. not. In my last FX-3 I had situations where the engine would hiccup as discussed in another thread below and catch my attention. My new FX-3 has done this the first time about two weeks ago and I think I discovered the trend. I'm typically just...

    FYI Garmin GFC 500 - Control Wheel Steering

    I have a Garmin G3X experimental with a GFC 500 and roll/pitch servos in my Carbon Cub FX-3. I have the GMC 305 control head but that part is moot. Did you know...pressing and holding the AP "disconnect" button will actually engage your autopilot? It's called control wheel steering (CWS) and is...

    Question To tie down or not?

    Fly-in season is arriving and I like to go to destinations with grass strip events. The question is when to tie down. I have parking brakes, I learned it's best to just engage one side so wind or something spins you vs flips you over but my concern would be prop blast, etc. If lined up in a row...

    Unicom frequency separation?

    It amazes me how cluttered various unicom's are such as 122.7 and 122.8 for example. Why don't we have more frequencies available for unicom use at uncontrolled fields so that we don't have to compete with each other within radio distance?

    What do you use to find grass strips?

    How do you build your network of places to fly in the backcountry? Finding grass strips, permissions, etc? I use the website below but it's pretty slim in my area. Trying to figure out how to find more exciting places to fly in my somewhat local area. Any tips...

    SwampSTOL 2024

    Been watching some videos on social media from this event, sadly watched one nose over slightly for a prop strike. Ouch!

    What is the process of selling an aircraft on your own?

    I believe EAA has resources, but when the time comes I prefer to sell on my own. How hard is it or do you suggest hiring help of some sort to help with the sale?

    Dreaming of a hangar home?

    I once had thoughts about either a home with my own grass strip or living in a hangar home community. I attended a seminar at EAA AirVenture (Oshkosh) about hangar home living and it almost immediately turned me off to the concept with restrictions, concerns about limited market for selling when...

    Stick with floats or change them out with tires?

    For those of you with float planes, do you leave floats on year round or do you switch to tires at times? How hard is it to switch out floats to tires etc.? How much do floats typically weigh. They seem monstrous and heavy. What brands are better than others? Pro's and con's? Any regrets...

    Oil pressure on a Lycoming IO-360

    On my CubCrafters FX-3 the POH says bottom of the green arc is 55 psi. On my last FX-3 (2021) I never saw oil in the yellow. On my new FX-3 it's caught my attention on the ground with lower RPM going into the yellow much less the bottom of the green on the new plane is 60 and not 55. Is this an...

    The dreaded drip

    I've been fighting this issue since bringing home the new FX-3, at times the aft fuel drain drips and won't seal. I've tried running quite a bit of fuel through it, snapping it from open to closed, twisting it, staring at it, nothing works. I reached out to CubCrafters and apparently these...

    BRS saves the day, again

    Yes, I have a BRS in my cub for this reason and other reasons. It can be added to many airplanes after production. CubCrafters installs BRS after AW cert. https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-family-survives-small-plane-crash-aircraft-deploys-parachute

    Be sure to set your WAAS GPS clocks forward

    Yeah, amazingly your Garmin GNC 355 WAAS IFR GPS doesn't know the time! Or timezone to be more specific. So you'll need to go into the setup and set your DST offset. Brilliant!

    Alert Beware of Carbon Monoxide Intrusion

    I learned of the Aithre shield CO detector that integrates in the G3X from the CubCrafters community and had one installed in my 2021 CubCrafters FX-3. Nothing alarming and it seemed to work well. Then came along my 2023 CubCrafters FX-3 and right off the bat I'm seeing very high CO readings and...
