Hello everyone!


Ok, the time has come! There is only 1 Cub remaining that is UN-SOLD on the container!

ONLY 1 LEFT! Who will be the last guy to get a BAD A$$ airplane for the Joe NAll?

Hmmm........

Thanks,

Bill

All construction of the Cubs are complete minus the wing struts and cowling. I hope that all of these will be completed by the end of this week. The Extra 260's are a little further behind schedule as they are just now starting the complex color scheme on those. So, my best guess is that the packing of the container will start next week. Still on schedule for the April delivery time frame delivery.

For about $1400.00 a Cub can be airmailed direct from China to the US. Anyone??? (didn't think so).

1-picture of the Extra 260 final fitting prior to covering.

Also,here are the beautiful Cubs waiting for packing!!!

All Cubs are sold out! Maybe, if I am lucky I will start a new list for the next container. Hopefully the people at the NAll will enjoy what they see and order one. I will probabbly order a new container full of Cubs around the NAll time frame. It normally takes 90 days from order to shipment. Hmmm.... I will also order a few 'standard' wing' Cubs for those who keep bugging me! Maybe a 'super cub' or two also!

Ok, the status: Container should/will ship next week. All Cubs are complete and are being packaged. The International orders will ship next week too. Mr. Hodder, your Extra will hopefully ship next week. They are finishing the covering right now.

Here is a picture to wet your appetite. Look closley to see what you guys are getting! There are 2 people packaging these planes. Can you find them? Do you understand how big these are now?

You will love it

Bill Hempel

On schedule, looks like there will be more than one Cub at the Nall.

Uh, yeah... I was going to come by and pick up the Extra. But it was cold today. Sorry.

I was at the Hobby Barn pre-loading the toy hauler for the trip to the Nall. It looks like I will have an MD-11, 50% Edge, 50% Cub and there may be enough room to bring the double wammy (twin dyna-jet plane) OR the Euro-sport.

Anyway, I cant bring the 52% Weeks or the 50% Extra. Not enough room.

I will try to come by and get the plane. IS it a problem leaving it there a few more days?
