Well that's a given! LOL Not to derail this thread but here's a pic of the wife with a 52% Edge set. So as you see we can do big! See you next weekend.

I have tried for last couple of weeks to figure out how I can keep one of these.

My only option is to bring it ot my farm and let it live in the pole building. I just can't do it right now, I am packed. But , if these things are hit, and I am sure they will be, I may be able to get one later. Simply the coolest.

If I could get rid of 1 motorcycle, 1 antique land rover, and a coupe of 34% extras, I would have the space.

I want one. But it won't fit.....................George Carlin was right about Stuff.

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the "no replys" lately... I was up competing at an IMAC event all weekend in Phx. Perfect weather with really cold mornings (32 degrees) but warmed up nicley into the low 60's I would guess.

The Cub does need a waiver as my prototype weighs right at 64 pounds. The production planes should be 3-5 pounds lighter. Even with the weight reduction, I doubt it will ever be under 55 pounds with fuel.

I believe someone stated I had the 170 in mine, this is not true as I am running the 157. The 170 would be even better though but not necessary.

The new production Cubs are all ready done! The manufacturers are now in the covering/finishing stages! The planes will be shipped the first part of Febuary! This is great news for all of you who have them on order already. Making the Joe Nall with this baby should not be an issue.

For those of you still on the "bubble" about buying one........ There are only 5 left! Better call/email soon!

Here are a few pictures to keep you interested! Some of the changes include a 2-piece "scale like" cowling with cotter pins. A lower cocpit floor and a redisigned fueslage for better CG!

Enjoy!

Bill, what are the control throw dimensions, servo arm lengths needed. I am trying to get the little stuff ready for assembly.

I wish someone made an opposed 4 cylinder 4 stroke that would power the Monster.
thanks,
Vern

I use Airwild 1.5" arms on everything. 10/32" Nelson products control arms. I have all these avialable for the plane right now. They are listed under my accessory page on my website.

Bill,

What is the length from nose to tail? Are the stabs removable? What is the stab span? I need to see if it will fit in my trailer. Send me a PM with a phone number to call you as I have a few more questions.

Jim
