You could get a few 50 lb dumbbells and strap them down in the back seat. That way you can pilot the plane in the front.

[@i.r.wayright1457]

You can take the valve out of the guide you know. Just reach up through the bottom spark plug hole with mechanical fingers and grab the stem. Then you can ream a valve guide that is leaded up. You look up through the exhaust port to line it up again to reinstall it. Stick a tiny inspection light down through the top spark plug hole so you can see better inside the cylinder. Also, I recommend you put a GoPro on a stick and slide it up through the wing inspection holes so you can check to see how many rib stitch cords the mice ate. The next to last plane I worked on before I retired was a J-3. The owner begged me three times before I told him to bring it in. I figured how bad could someone screw up a simple plane like that. Boy, did i find out. 30 plus write ups and an AD note that was never done since the early 80s. Also I have a Cub story for you from way back. When Piper started hanging Lycomings on them, they were operating with zero extra capital. One time a customer came in to pick up his new Cub and they still didn't hadn't bought the engine for it yet. As soon as the customer handed them the check, they rushed it to the bank and sent a man to Lycoming, which was just 20 some miles down the road form Lock Haven, to pick up the new engine. To kill time, Mr. Piper gave the man an extended tour of the manufacturing plant while they got to finishing up the plane and taking a test flight in it. Also, Mr. Piper had Lycoming agree to build the pallets they shipped the engines on with a special type of plywood top, which became the floor boards in the plane. That is one reason they were under $1000 new.

[@erichboese7209]

Fixed a stuck valve on the ramp in my Luscombe back in college using a mechanical finger (tool retrieval tool). Had to remove the valve and ream the guide. Worked great. From start to finish it took all of 45min to an hour and I was outta there! My roommate looked at me like “you’re gonna hop in that and fly home now?” Sure did!

[@ashell2040]

Great story thanks. BTW: Would love to hear any others you may have. Thanks.

[@NorthwestAirtech]

You can actually do it without the mechanical fingers in the exhaust port so you can leave the exhaust in place. Just bend up a couple hook tools from stiff wire and manipulate thru the plug holes. Helps a lot to have a nice strong magnet on a stick that fits in the guide. Good stuff!

[@i.r.wayright1457]

J-3 - So many memories. In the late '70s, I soloed in a J-3 Cub at the Searcy, Arkansas airport. It was Sunday early afternoon so no one was around to tear off my shirt. Like many things, the first is always special so I've always had a particular fondness for the Cub. Mr Taylor did a great job designing it. Thanks, Jimmy.

[@donniegaskill1836]

My first plane ride was in a J3 in 1957 (age 7) over Norfolk, Va. At that time, flying over the Navy bases was ok and the pilot took us to see the aircraft carriers and other ships. I joined the Navy in 1969 and was stationed at Norfolk from 70 to 73.

Glad to see you have the issues with the engine worked out. This looks to be in really good shape. You can do some aerobatics in these planes. Matter of fact, a nationally known stunt pilot, Gene Griffith, currently holds the world tail spin record in a Piper J-3 Cub where he performed 87 consecutive turns from a height of 12,000 feet in the J-3 in which this record was set in back 1950 in Zanesvile, Ohio and has never been broken. It was a very windy day when Gene set this record. Many pilots have attempted to break his record in the J-3 but all have failed.

[@SixStringflyboy]

You do NOT have to take the engine apart if the valve falls in. In fact, knocking it into the cylinder is part of the process you can do to clean the valve stem and ream the guide without pulling the cylinder. You can route a set of mechanical fingers in the valve guide, grab the valve, and put it throught the spark plug hole, then rotate the prop until the piston holds the valve while you clean it. Let the valve back down when you're done, then use the mechanical fingers through the spark plug hole to put it back into the guide and lap it. Had an A&P do this to 2 cylinders on my 150 when I got a stuck valve 10 miles from an airport in 2019.

always hammer knock the valve/s multiple times after putting the keepers back in, regardless of being new or used and knock them more if used(carbon does bad things!).

I have retrieved parts from across the garage a few times over the years, but never had a valve get eaten afterwards(yet)

[@willamcombs1106]

Jimmy? I think you did the leak down wrong on the cylinders that had leakage. I saw the prop in the same position for both cylinders on each side and the prop should be 180 degrees for each cylinder for a total of 720 to cover all 4 cylinders on a 4 stroke engine.. You have to check for compression stroke on each cylinder separately. If one is TDC, the other one behind it is not TDC. Maybe you did rotate the prop but I did not see that for the other two cylinders. Just thought it weird that two cylinders had leakage and two did not.

@Max Nafe Horsemanship Most people learn to fly in airplanes with tricycle landing gear. If you take flying lessons in a tailwheel airplane, or what the FAA refers to as "conventional landing gear" there is no requirement to have a tailwheel endorsement, and you never need to get a tricycle gear endorsement, because that is the less difficult of the two types. Just the standard required check ride in the aircraft type is all that is needed.

For stuck rings, valves, dry carbon in engines which have not run for a while. I filled the cylinders with diesel for a few days. The diesel will go in the motor oil, no damage you need to change the oil anyway. Diesel has a greater means of going into places and leaking more than other fluids.

[@arlo4051]

You missed the one thing that made the Cub a basic aircraft, the piece of wire protruding out of the gas cap in front of the windscreen to let you know if you had gas left or to start looking for a field. If it was bouncing up and down you were good to go. In 1962 my dad bought a 47 cub for 1200 dollars in flying condition. Best thing about a fabric aircraft is you need to work on something internal cut the fabric off fix it and in a weeks time have it back good as new fairly cheap. (if you do the recovery process yourself). You will love flying around with the door down . If the locals weren't so eager to turn in every little infringement another fun thing was to toss out a roll of toilet paper and see how many times you could cut it with your wing before it got too low.

Helps if you have the real gasket push rod tube conversion. That was the first change I made to my engine.

From east to west, IFRR (I follow Rail Roads), north through new England, west to Minnesota, into Canada, across the plains, through and not at all over the Rockies (didnt go that high) landing in Vancouver. The trip took just over a week, two 20 somethings on an trip funded with hamburger flipping money ...Sleeping under the wing or on a hangar floor if we were lucky, sometimes taken home for a good dinner and sometimes a warm coke and stale airport peanuts.

Carbon problem in a gasoline engine. Maybe your horse needs a drink of water. Start the engine, warm it up, hold throttle a little above idle, pour a small amount (1/2 ounce maybe) of water into the intake. The water will fracture the hot carbon and it blows out the exhaust.

I worked in a small car engine rebuilding shop in the 70's. Most of it was carry out work but they had a bay for R&R work too. They rebuilt a Cadilac engine in a car that had some sort of front wheel drive that made it a very tough job. They thought it would be a good idea to put chrome rings in it but they couldn't get them to seat. In desperation the owner poured Bonami (pumice) in each spark plug hole & ran it. It worked to seat the rings then wear them out all in about 5 minutes so the engine came out again. Somehow, I flashed back to this memory.

You need Tarryl from Tarryl Fixes All to fix your sticky valve. It would be a KZbin sensation. By the way Marvel Mystery Oil or transmission fluid added to your oil and fuel will prevent any carbon problems in that engine.

YES YES YES Taryl could show Jimmy a crap load of tips and tricks to save time and work when it comes to mechanical innovations,Taryl is "The Man" !!!!!!!!!!!! Wish we could get those two together maybe even get a skit too !!!!!!! They call me "Handy Andy" ,!!!!!!

[@theonewhowas7709]

it helps for the engine to be on the compression stroke too.. when hand starting couldve just chained it to back of the truck and then give it all the beans it wants

[@johnnunn8688]

When lapping in valves, should one not go clockwise then anti clockwise? Not just go in one direction.

Question for Cub pilots: You are on a solo cross country. Flying from the back seat. How do you adjust the altimeter setting?

[@kevinbrake9407]

You don't fly far enough from your departure airport before you need to refuel to worry too much about it...

[@leeroyholloway4277]

Generally don't worry about it before I need to land and let my butt smile for a few minutes.

Loosen your belts, stand up, lean over.

25/32nd? Heck I use that size socket to remove the nuts and bolts on a Airbus A320 brake assembly.

From a car person I would say stay behind in case it revs up moves forward or you get sucked in when a gust hits you in the back. Something funny pause at 15:55
