I get questions about my stick mod. It is a "One time STC". I doubt it is possible to get anymore. Unless someone tied it in conjunction with trimmer PA 18 gear and installed it like the PA 16. It might be straightforward for the FAA to approve.

Loving the work so far curious to see how it all comes together. I am a month or so out on my 18 gear upgrade
Thanks for the posts - I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Finished painting! The gear is temporarily on. I'm finishing reinstalling the cowl first. It looks like cold weather coming may slow me down.

The clock is ticking, summer is coming. Do I need to worry?

Figure this. This is 3 inch extended Super Cub gear on my Pacer. And, the nose is two inches lower than when it was on Pacer gear.
