Default RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???

The J-3 is the most realistic rc model I have seen. The photo's are still on RCU. Just search "All photo's" and type in "Cub" and then go to page 16. The photo for his gallery is in the middle of the page. I emailed him yesterday to inquire if he still had it and he emailed me back last night saying he did and that it was hanging in his living room along with his Hanger 9 J-3. He lives in N E Canada just barely across from N Y state. He thanked me for the compliments also and sent a picture below.
Thanks,
Eddie of OKC

Here is the return email from the owner about the build of the J-3:
