Culver General Discussion / Re: New Member Poll

Brett Lovett Liberty, MO I purchased a Culver LCA in 2006 and flew it home from Florida. It had been altered with the installation of a C85-12FHJ from a Culver V (modified to a C85-12J). I discovered although the engine seemed to run well enough, the fuel injection system mixture schedule was considerably off (running lean at full power/and rather rich at idle) and that the internal fuel pump was not producing anywhere near adequate pressure. I'd prefer to change to a carburetor and reinstall carburetor and cabin heat. The aircraft could also use extensive cosmetic work, particularly on the interior. In 2009 after being frustrated with not flying the Culver for 3 years, I bought a Piper Vagabond which is my current flying airplane. I haven't done much on the Culver since then.
