50% CUB BY BILL HEMPEL (NEW VIDEO)

[FireFighterFSFD]

If it was a exact copy of a signature design yea I can agree with you. and I can see how this design would be confused with one of kennys (even though it is not). but if it were my design and some one as established in this hobby as hempel was to take my design and make one of his own I think I would be honored. Lots of different companies have planes that resemble one from a outside company. This kenny guy that designed the planes mentioned above has some mad skillz and crap If I had the money to buy one of those planes from hempel I would in a heat beat.
by the way bill the cub is awesome I think it would be a had choice to decide on just one plane you have made.

But neither did, I just think it would be nice of people to give a guy a call. Call it a courtesy thing. Kinda like paying a custom home builder to build a unique home for you, then the builder and one of his buddies turns around and build 50 more just like yours in your neighborhood. Billy and Kenny, don't take this the wrong way I'm not angry or meaning to blast anyone. It just seems common place for people to take what they want and let God sort it out in the end. I just like seeing people take a moment and think of the other guy. Peace

Not to beat a dead horse..... This is how it all happened between Kenny and I;

Hey dude, can I use this scheme for my new 50% Extra 260?

I am having them buiilt in China and need a cool looking scheme.

Just want to check with you before I have them done.

Bill Hempel


Absolutely my man. But, only you.lol Nah, J/K. I'm flattered when people use my designs. Can't wait to see it!

Take it easy.

Right on Billy. Cool to see you and Kenny got together on this but my point was that they guy who paid for an original scheme from Kenny really got short changed with out even a thought.

I should clarify that I'm not implying that this was intentional, but probably just an over site.

Bill, I dont think you should have to explain yourself!! Keep doing what you are doing. Next thing someone will say is you copied your 52% biplane off of Blaine Austins Cardens instead of Mark. Dennis is going to hammer you when he finds out. lol

Bill,

Dito the above with regard to a simi symmetrial airfoil. There is a very famous cub that was flown by the great Bevo Howard circa 1948 and won the national airobatic championships with clipped BC-12 Tcraft wings and 180HP lycoming. The same airplane was also flown by the late Charlie Hillard and it is now owned and flown by local aerobatic pilot John Maquire who flys it with hand controls due to a near fatial accident in his Pitts a few years ago that left him paralyzed from the wast down.

Nice planes you design there Bill. It sure would be nice to see you come down our way one event this summer, the Tulsa Heatwave would be a good one, even though it is 1100 miles for ya thats nothing for a stepper like yourself "lol" would like to meet you sometime though, maybe at Nall if you go.

WOW....This thread went from way cool to ...Any chance of this thing staying on a 50% Cub?
