Post subject: | Folding wing flap springs |
Can't seem to find any discussion or pics of how to install the flap return springs on the folding wing. Don't want to put them on the inside as the plans suggested and I know others have worked this out so rather than trying to reinvent the wheel I would appreciate any ideas on this matter. Thanks. |

If you want to take field trip, you can look at mine. Basically, I used the layout of the T-18 on the inner wing and again on the inboard side of the outer panel. |

Post subject: | ELT replacements |
I have an Ameri-King 451 ELT that I'd like to replace. I'm looking at the ACK-04 and the Artex 345. What recommendations do you guys have? Actually, I need two replacement ELTs. One for the Cub and another for the T-18. |

Install per pictures 2 and 3 only on the outer rib of the inner wing. The one in the fuselage is used to take up cable tension. Cubes |

Just to confirm that it is not shown on a drawing? Or am I missing finding the drawing where it is located/shown? Also, in picture 3, there is what appears to be a doubler on the outside of the rib where the tube goes into the inner wing. Is this a requirement or mod that I missed somewhere as well or is it just a "beef up" done on this builder's wing? Rob |

I’ll find the drawing number. The doubler is not to plans. Cubes |

In my setup, the fuselage spring is not needed as the outer rib of inner wing spring will take up slack when properly adjusted. The set up as shown in picture three works fine. The doubler is an add on, evidently. |
