I currently have a G-62 in it, as the 3W 106 is in for a check-up and possible ignition replacement.

The 106 will go back in for sure.

The G-62 is ENOUGH , but not enough for spirited aerobatics. Stall turns are STALL turns with it. Absolutlely no vertical performance, but enough for Sunday lazy flying for sure.

I want the monster back, so I can get a little more daring with it. Actually , a DA-85 would be PERFECT. I just got one, but it is going on a light scratchbuilt airframe after break-in.

It would be PERFECT for this plane . PERFECT.

I have the 106 so I will use it, and it looks really cool sticking out on each side.

As soon as mine arrives next week im going to get a 100 for mine and wondered if while im building it if i should go ahead and baffel it if theres enough room in the cowl to do so.

I had a new supercub at the shop, i built a new one in less than 10 hours. The day after.

Smått&rått means Small&cool- the name of the Store that i work at.

Status: offline 		I have been flying the heck out of mine....blowing a lot of smoke oil through her. G62 on a Bennett Muffler.

The 106 is on the mend. I can really whip this one around with the G-62, now that I have had a little practice.....

It absolutely floats with 25 deg of flap. Flat turns look like horseshoes.....

You know, I thought my 106 was fine without baffling. It never really worked hard, and the heads were fully exposed on top, maybe one fin down.

I thought that cutting the cowl laterally at the middle of the vent holes, all the way back, would be a good two piece cowl solution. Then the baffling becomes easier. I never made it that far, but my 106 is at Cactus now getting checked out.

I ran my 106 with the endpoints set at 70% throttle. It was all it needed, and my curve was soft.

Try the DL without the baffling , making the head holes big. Allow enough relief around the exhaust pipes, Air in ,air out.

BTW, I have been flying the Cub daily, and I lost the 1lb weight on the motor mount , with a little down trim , it flies fine. The 106 really did make this plane nose heavy.

The DL should be spot on.

When the climber was in the tree , a few more planes went over....very very close to the tree he was in.

I am sure the club would love to have it and a few more cut down. LOL.


I just got my 106 back on Tuesday and it will be on it when it flies again.
