New Member. Old Pilot.

Owned an 11AC in th 70s. Bought a 75 7GCBC in 83. Still flying it about 50 hours/yr. Recovered/painted it myself in '90. (Still looks pretty good!) Engine overhauled in '18. I've done over 30 annuals on it (Under A&I supervision) using the Bellanca annual checklist in the maintenance manual. Looking forward to swapping information.

Old member, old pilot here. Bought my Cub in 1962. That would be 59 annuals - got the IA in 2003.
Lots of good information here, and you do not have to join anything - just say thanks to Bart once in a while.

Not necessary but appreciated. Welcome to our new member from Tuscon! Let's see some pics of that GCBC that you painted back in 1990. And thanks for the reminder that there is an annual inspection checklist in the maintenance manuals, you've added something to the site already!

It does say Tucson. I missed that. I used to take my Cub in and out of Freeway Airport regularly. Even landed on the old Downtown Tucson airport. Some lady close to freeway called the cops to report me crashing - guess she had never seen a slip. Airport mgmt got a kick out of that.
