tail post in the floatplane configuration for center
of gravity purposes.
It's virtually impossible to perform an
unaccelerated, power-off stall in the King
Cub. Even with full back stick, the airplane
just mushes forward, bobbing its head like a
drowsy student in a long lecture. Turning and
accelerated stalls at any flap setting barely
elicit a stall break, and airflow reattaches the
instant the angle of attack is reduced.
Land and water landings are stable and
undemanding using half-flaps and an approach
speed of 55 KIAS, and elevator authority is sufficient
to make nose-up pitch adjustments all
the way to touchdown.
NO STRESS
White keeps a boxer's speed bag in an out-ofthe-way
corner of the hangar but seldom strikes it anymore. He also used to run marathons
but stopped years ago.
" My shoulders are shot, " he said. " So are my knees from too much running over the years. "
He still performs lots of physical labor in the shop, but said he doesn't plan to retire, ever,
despite the physical nature of his work.
" I actually own a house in Florida, but the truth is I'd rather be here [in the hangar], " he
said. " I like the challenge of doing one-off restorations, and I enjoy my customers because
they allow me to do things the way I think they ought to be done.
" Things were stressful when the business was bigger and we were running two shifts a day, "
he said. " Now, there's no stress. Not everyone gets it, but this is just my way to have fun. "
