[john66]

So heres some pics of my Cub with the 3" Du-Bro Diamond lites Jeremiah (jbess) recommended fixed to the plane using the 4-40 coupler mod that skivit48 came up with in the following thread..... supercubclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=whls&thread=2945&page=1

Thanks chaps for your suggestions

Well chuffed, John ;D


Lookin SEXY!!!


Modded tail wheel in view too! supercubclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=whls&action=display&thread=2956


is the inward tracking in this pic normal?

[Legot]

the inward is your choice. how much do you want?

I like the first pic, it looks abit like a promo pic on that white, glowing background

[jbess]

Looking awesome! The camber is fine, you want it to flex outward on landings. Have you taken off/landed with them yet?

[ginginho]

You just need to make sure they are "toe-out" rather than "toe-in" if you don't want to ground loop all the time. For the reasoning behind this, read rcmf.co.uk/articles/toe-debate.html

Thanks for the input gentlemen.

No take off or landing yet Jeremiah, was hoping that would be tomorrow as winds forecast very low, but my gf's car is now playing up and wont select gears properly. Its going to garage today so hoping its just a clutch fluid/gear oil issue. Car is a semi auto with no manual clutch so I have no clues!

Will check she is toe out ginginho, thanks for the link. All is now clear!
Makes me wonder if after afew drinks I personally am toe in, as I tend to become rather unstable, though im neither a tail dragger (though my gf would argue this point) nor a trike! ;D

Thanks again, John
