Casein and urea-formaldehyde glues are the ones you are thinking of, that are no longer approved for use. In fact, should one want to use the u-f glue, the AMT handbook directs the mechanic to consult with FAA engineering prior to it's use.

Resorcinol was developed for the Mosquito, and is still in use and in production today. Two part epoxies can be used, but they have to meet certain criteria spelled out in AC43.13, namely an AMS, TSO or Mil-Spec for wooden aircraft adhesives.

I thought the same thing :shock: I've never heard that, nor have I ever heard any of the other examples listed.

I have a LOT Of Cub landings and that is one of the weirdest things I've heard from marine air yet.

I agree with all of the above. I have many wheel landings in the Cub and in my opinion, they are not difficult unless you screw up the landing - but this is true of any aircraft. As with all aircraft, you just have to learn the right technique to land the aircraft. Perhaps Marine Air didn't learn the correct technique to wheel land the Cub. What a bizarre statement.

I know a couple guys that can fly it :) I've been doing a series of "then and now" photos around Fulton airport here in Akron. The black and white image is a grab from a Goodyear film called Navy Day. As far as I can tell it was from 30-31?, Jimmy Doolittle was in town, as well as Admiral Moffett. The Shell Vega was parked in front of the Akron Airways Hangar next to the terminal. The hangar was torn down 25-30 years ago but the pad is still there. I was standing in the bed of my truck to try to simulate the elevation but still not quite high enough. The airport hasn't changed much in 80 years. The road with the electric poles is Massillon Rd, which was eventually re-routed around the East side of the airport. Remnants of the road were used as a taxi way until they cut the runways down to 2. It's still there and can be seen on google earth.
