Clipper Right Wing Rank STC

I would use an AN911-1D and an AN910-1D to extend it.

Mine has an angled drain fitting!

Hi all. Thanks again for the help.

if it is inside the fuselage I think it would be better in case of an accident that took out the gear and could rip the quick drain off.

Steve,

I could see the quick drain and bowl being ripped off of the original Gascolator, but after seeing ours go through this wreck of a Super Cub, I would trust it over the original any day.

The bowl came off the cover with no problems. We replaced the bowl so that we could keep the old one to show. The airplane was completely rebuilt and still runs the original cover.

I remember seeing those pictures. That guy would have had a really bad day with the original gascolator.

He was very lucky. This is what happened. He removed the stick to work on something under the dash. The sick he had for that airplane was the type that had a triangular cut out on the bottom and the hole for the bolt 90 degrees to the cutouts. When he put the stick back in, he inadvertently put the stick in at the wrong position. This resulted in the stick coming out of the stub right after a full power hard climb takeoff. He just cut the power and held on. The pictures are the result. After teardown, he decided to replace the fuselage with a new Airframe’s fuselage and rebuild the wings. He went ahead and did AOSS suspension on 3 inch gear, our brakes, reused the Gascolator, 31 Bushwheels, baby Bushwheel tail wheel and a host of other nice goodies. It is a real nice cub. But unfortunately, life took a terrible turn for our friend of over 30 years and he died of complications of esophagus cancer that we all thought he had beat. His esophagus was removed about 3 years ago, but a couple of months ago his body decided that it just would not keep food in his system. We believe that the cub will probably go to his pilot son in CA.

Sorry to hear that Brian. Similar thing happening here as well. Cancer is a powerful thing.

Thanks Steve.

Unfortunately, cancer has no morals.
