Anyway, there are ONLY (4) J-3 Cub Planes Left! If you know someone who is thinking about it you may want to inform them that time is running out.

China has sent me confrimation/pictures of the 57 changes I made to the prototype plane, WOW, this is going to be a GREAT plane. I may have to sell my prototype plane just to get the new one with all the different changes!

I will keep you posted on the progress and avialability of the planes. Thank you all for your interest in this new plane. I am already thinking of the next "Secret Project". The new "Secret Project's Prototype" could be here and on display at the TAS 2008! We'll see!

What Extra?

Just kidding, I will have China takes some pictures and I will send them to you. It will be at least a week though as they are on their NEW YEAR Holiday.

Your Extra is being built and will be shiped to you as soon as it is done. It will not have to wait for the Cubs to be finished.

Hi Bill!

I’m in the process of gathering stuff for my soon to arrive cub. Would I be OK with 8 JR 8711? That is 2 on rudder, 2 on each aileron, and 1 on each elevator.>>

Just found this in some other thread:
Some of you might have seen it, some not. I think it belong in this thread as well.

Got the engine, the servos, the batteries. Waiting for this plane is killing me...

Bill,
It's a really nice Cub and all........... Just tell us where you ate that bad Tex-Mex food so all of us won't eat any. It's given you a really weird accent! LOL!

You are CRAZY! The airplane would not hold up to that motor! It would be awsome but I think it would break the plane.

If you want more power, put a 200 in it with cans, you'll be fine!

Bill
