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

Why?

I still have planes form the first shipment left! LOL.

Really, I don't know yet. There is a good chance that the first shipment of planes could be sold out by the time they get here (mid-March), as there are only 5 planes left un-sold. Because of the cost involved and the amount of planes that need to be ordered I may wait until the end of the year for the next one is ordered. It will all be based on interest of the plane. If people want them, I will order them.

I am sure after the Joe Nall and everyone gets to see them up close and flying-evryone will buy one and I can quite my full time job! and produce these planes full time. Wow, what a life!

A second container could be here as soon as August-September 08.

OMG I want one! There is NO way I have any room for something like that!

I have 40 hours in a real one myself- and it was a kick to watch you throwing that thing around! I once flew one 120 miles in a 40 MPH crosswind... Barf-O-rama!

So I have to ask-

Does it have the signature CUB side door?

Awesome! I hope I'm lucky enough to see one of these in person!

Thanks! I'm just asking because I like it, but I can't afford it right now. I'm doing senior year of college right now, so maybe during the summer I'll be able to, so an august-sept delivery would be nice.

Yes, the side door of the Cub opens. The window portion does not open though .

For the second container of planes, I will try to have China redesign the area to have the window operational. This would definatly look better.

Spoke yesterday with China and they are now on their "Holiday vacation" for their 'New Year Celibration'. Work will resume in about 2 weeks. The Cubs are all framed and now ready for covering . Everything is looking good.

I've tried watching the video on 3 different computers and have downloaded Quicktime twice...for those who had issues watching the video how did you get it to work? When I click on the link to the gallery I get some sound, but no image. Has anyone converted it to something like .wmv?
