Cheers,

The pattern plane on that post was to show only a color scheme that I was choosing from for the next gerneration 50% Extra 260. Nothing more. I have no information on that airplane, I only had it to show the scheme.

Yes, the AMA show was GREAT! My team and I had a blast watching people's reaction as they rounded the corner and saw the big Cub. A lot of people could not believe the size! Yes, it is big. It is a BLAST to fly and I am very proud of it.

People, get MadMax. He will post the video unedited, raw video for you guys. This video was very basic and a little unprofesional! But it will show you how the Cub fly's in the 15 mph wind that it flew in that day.

Now that the big trade show is over, the gloves are coming off and the 'real' flying will begin with the plane. I will get the famous "Rick Adams" to shoot a real nice clip of the Clipped Cub. lol. Stay tuned!

Bill Hempel

Thanks to all of you who stoped by to see the Cub and to say "Hi".

What does this mean to us? Well, it means that the shipment from China will be delayed by about 3 weeks. The shipment looks like it will take place in March and I will receive the container in April. I am really sorry about this delay but that still gives the die-hard builders enough time for the Joe Nall!

The problem occured when China attempted to order the 2300 FEET of covering needed for this project! Wow, now that is a lot of covering material.

Bill Hempel

I will keep you posted on any changes.
Bill,

Will this affect my order of the new 50% 260 Extra scheme in March.

I would imagine the 260 is a different covering, yeah?

Hey Clive,

No problems mate, your Extra will not be delayed!

The Cub was using a fabric type covering on the prototype but will now be covered in the same stuff (Ultracote) as your Extra. This will be a good thing for the Cub as it will lower the overall weight by over 1 pound! It will have a glossy finish and be easier to clean.
