      @@ShaneMadson I have a Prince P tip prop on my Rotax 912 powered plane, I have been told numerous times by other pilots that the prop makes a "radial engine" like sound, something about those tips....,

    Beautiful story and a great tribute to Sam and his Cub. I’m sure Sam is smiling down on you and always your co pilot.
    I have my late grandfathers J-3 Cub. Restored it from 2017-2021. It’s on my channel. We’ve had it for 55 years and could never get rid of it.
    Keep up the awesome work 😁🤙🏼 Safe flying

    I have a vr3 tubing kit for a widebody cub and a set of javron wings collecting dust. Sad to hear about Sam, I was trying to keep up with his progress on the apex cub and didn't realize why the project went dark 😔

    • @ShaneMadson

      Yes it was devastating news, such a great guy gone to soon. You should definitely blow the dust off that kit and wings, would love to see it come together 👊🏼

    Love the plane, Have you done anything to mitigate carb icing and fabricating a cowling?

    • @ShaneMadson
      @ShaneMadson  8 днів тому

      Yes you bet, I made a shroud at the bottom of the exhaust that will collect warm air around the exhaust and direct it into the carburetor by a push/pull cable to protect from carb icing. And as for a cowling, it can be done but I prefer the looks of seeing the radial. Thanks for reaching out.

      @@ShaneMadson Thanks for the reply. In my opinion its the most thought out build I've seen the access panels are spot on. I like the look of the exposed engine too, Thanks for sharing
