50% CUB BY BILL HEMPEL (NEW VIDEO)

Bill,<O</O
Thanks for the opportunity and help with my first IMAC. It was a pleasure to fly the Cub as usual. It was also a lot of fun to see how the event was run, and to be able to fly in it. <O</O

GO FOR IT. I say if your not having fun flying then you should probably look for another sport/hobby.
<O</O
Flying the Cub made me focus more on timing and energy management. I ended up flying the sequence at full throttle because it was taking to long to get from one side of the box to the other, and of course I needed the speed for the up-lines. The Cub does not perform with speed but with grace. It was very scale like to say the least. The most important thing is that I had a lot of fun. <O></O>
As for judging, from what I understand, its not the plane, its how well the maneuver is performed by the pilot AND the plane. It would have been nice to fly the plane more than 3 times before the event but that just added to the fun factor.

Again, thanks Bill.

Shipment Information!

The container full of airplanes will ship on Apr 8, 2008. I am really sorry for this delay in shipment but sometimes these things happen. There was a small issue with the final assembly of the wing struts that delayed to shipment (waiting for vendors). As it is the Cubs will not come with the cotter pins for the cowling. I will have to supply these seperatley along with the bungee cords for the landing gears. Here in the US, these items are easy to find so it will not be an issue for me to send these out.

International Customers:Cub and Extra orders were sent out yesterday and tracking information should follow soon via e-mail.

The planes will be in customers hands starting next week. Hopefully I can get a few of them to post pictures here for all to see.

The container will take between 18 - 25 days to transit the Pacific Ocean. For the Joe Nall people looking to have these planes.... we'll it could still happen. Lets just hope the trip accross the water is 18 days! US Customs and transit time to Arizona will probably take another 3-7 days. I could possibly be sending planes from Arizona as soon as the end of April or first part of May. Hmmm.....

Did someone say PICTURES?? Well, here they are! The new Cub with all 57 changes! This plane is AWESOME!!!!!! I want one of the new ones for my self now, but they are all sold out!

Put your order in now for the Next Container. Oh yeah, I will also have Super Cubs, and standard J-3 Cub with a 17'8" (212") wing span! These planes will be avialable around the end of the year.

Here you go:

Hi Bill,

Do you have the specs (drop, run) for the headers for a 3W 170xi on the CUB? Can it take tuned pipes, or should we use canisters? (noise restrictions).
Do you also supply int. customers with the cotter pins for cowling and bungee cord for landing gear seperatly?
The Cub looks huge on the pics...can't even imagine what a Super Cub would look like

I have not had a chance to remove the cowling on my plane to measure the header length. If I recall correctly though, you will need the longest drop header they make. I WILL get the measurement to you soon though.

The canister area has been reduced in size from the prototype version, you will need to run canisters and not full length pipes.

I will supply the cotter pins and all the bungees needed for the plane. I will get on those starting tomorrow. I do not have the diameter of the cotter pin 'post' that stick out of the cowling though, I need this so we can also include rubber washers for the cowling before the cotter pin is placed in it.

The super cub will be the same as what you get but with a wing that is 32" longer. Oh yeah, it will have FLAPS too and the standard 'preasure' cowling.

The container with the new Cubs will arive in Long Beach California on May 6th and should be in Tucson on 8th May.

The time has come!

Good Morning Bill,

I ran across this website and thought you might like to see a really nice choice for nontraditional colors on a cub....
