Message: <blockquote data-quote="Taylorman55" data-source="post: 216763" data-attributes="member: 1290">We have a few more projects at home. Dads 1966 PA-18 super cub (1800 TT and full logs) came home about a year ago and is just about ready for fabric. It's getting quite a few Alaska mods. Has 26 inch bush tires on it now, but we are either going with 29 or 31 inchers. Vortex generators, climb prop (Catto if they get certified), full glass throughout, lightweight starter, carbon fiber interior, battery relocation etc. Will more than likely be the one of the most, if not the most modded out certified PA-18s in the state. Flaps are staying stock. We also brought home a PA-20 Pacer near the same time (stretched into Bushmaster frame). Will be the last project on the list.More recently we drove down south of Boise Idaho with an enclosed trailer and brought home this extremely rare 1949 PA-14 Family Cruiser (238 ever made, and this one is #6 from the last ever built). 1200 TT since new, factory flaps. Upgraded with a 150 hp, from the original 108 hp, and also a  84 inch borer prop upgrade. Once the PA-18 is done this year it'll be full out onto the PA-14. The PA-14 is going to be getting an upgrade on tires, from the current 8.50s. We are taking the 26 inchers off the PA-18 and swapping them over. This airplane will get a few smaller upgrades (skylight, vortex generators, and a repitched climb prop, but going to try to stay a bit more stock for this airplane. Hopefully will see a few of you boys at the pancake fly ins throughout the state in the coming year(s)! First 4 photos are of the 4 seat PA-14, and last picture is dad with the grandkids (my nephews) with his 66 PA-18 the day we got it home. Thanks for looking and enjoy, we are seriously excited about these old birds![ATTACH]23617[/ATTACH][ATTACH]23618[/ATTACH][ATTACH]23619[/ATTACH][ATTACH]23620[/ATTACH][ATTACH]23621[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
