Bill, I have a program that will do it. I think we may have the same camcorder. Shoot me an email and I'll send it to ya.

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

Bill, we have a new canon HD camera as well, we finally had to purchase corel suite plus! It's kick buttt.... and will let you make some professional videos. The compressed files are weird/foreign,(avchd) however these higher end programs work like a champ.It literally allows to add music, and edit, superimpose, all sorts of goodies. You can buy it for around $99. The program that canon included with the camera sucked!!!

Just went round Lee McCrory's flat, he's been getting in with the Bill Hempel vibe too! He'd just finished screwing the MVVS 116 to his big falcon when I got there. Heres a pic.

I was able to give it to MadMax at the AMA trade show this past weekend. Hopefully Max will have time soon to get the video up somewhere.

Max, you out there bud?

Bottom line; I like planes that look cool! Why reinvent the wheel, I am not an artist. Choose what you like, they are not trade mark ed!

the Piper is great -that size rocks...

but whats that pattern plane on the attached thumbs ? Do you have more info ? finished price -how it flies (smooth,- how much to mix ?) , what wings,what fuselage (composite ?) ?
really cool scheme...

Cheers,

Chris
