Billy can this plane take cans? Do you need an experimental waiver to fly this baby?

Craig, you must have been reading my mind ! Would be real funny at the DMV registering it as a trailer !

I have been meaning to call you but bee real busy, I hope to fly some this year either at the Hill or Farmington (2 seconds from work). Got a big project going on in the yard who knows how much time I'll have.

I'll try to call you sometime tomorrow.

Vic, he is flying it with cans, and I imagine because of the weight you will need the waiver

Jim, It all depends when they arrive from China. I am on the list and I hope RC Armour can make me some super Xtra large wingbags for this monster, yes I will be at Mike's as for Bryan's question, how long, I am not sure, I would say the wingspan is a lot more than the fuse.

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!
