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.

Tom

Ok, back to the Cub!

Maybe I will offer a semi-symetrical airfoil as a "version II" after this fist container. LOL

I agree that a semi-symetrical airfoil would be a little more fun but can you imagine what all the "scale" guys would say if I did that? Man, that would be a battle! lol

Guys, tomorrow I will be leaving with the Cub for the AMA show! You can finally see the video!

I had the DVD camcorder CD finalized but I still could not download it to my computer! That stinks. I gave the 2 disks to my photographer Rick Adams and he could not get it on his computer either with the camera installed to it. I will have to re-shoot the video for the website and FG with a "real" camera! That will happen weekend after next!

Ok, any questions out there for the Cub? anyone else want to order one before the show? This will be the last weekend to get the $100.00 discount!

Special pricing: The 50% Edge 540 will be on SALE CHEAP at the AMA show, bring your cash!

Bill

We are weird close friends, with a sick sense of humor. His wife set me up a few years ago with a Super Phsyco whacked out B$i$%ch from Hell. Finally got rid of her. I should have listened to him at that time. don't fall in love with it.
Well, it took be 2 years to learn, He was right all along.
I listen to him now..
Much happier.

Cheers,
Forrest

Bill, I'll have to look and see what the name of the program was that I downloaded for free. I have a Canon DVD camcorder and ran into the same problem that you are describing. I downloaded this program and then told it to rip the finalized DVD and it ripped it as an AVI i think.

I'll try and check tonight and post here...

Piper Cub Specs. Length: 22 ft, 2 in. Wingspan: 28 ft, 4 1/2 in. 100%

14 ft. 2 1/2 in wingspan. I figure based on a 100% clipped wing Cub.

I ask Bill to build a Metric Version for me! 4330.7 mm

It's sounds bigger
