Winglift,
cannonball200 here, no, I don't have floats on my J-3. The Dle 20 I think would fly it however with floats. The guy's are right about the Saito 4 strokes sounding realistic. The gas 4 stroke would be awesome. I just cannot afford one though. In retirement, my pay check went down and cuts me out of some of my cadilac hobby wants!
Good luck on your J-3 Piper Cub adventure! They are awesome. My son & I bought one in 2006 in Feb and sold it in Nov same year. He is a jet pilot and really enjoyed relaxing flying the J-3 and gave me several hours on the stick too.
Eddie of OKC, OK
Eddie,
I too am/was a full scale pilot, cfii, however have not flown for many years......way too expensive, so now I fly RC. I too am retired, but save my pennies until I can afford to buy the things that I want. In this case I will probably go for the Saito as it is an engine that will last and in the long run will save money.
Bucho,
I just cannot see spending $940 for an engine on this, which is the price at tower and chiefaircraft. Where did you get this for $450? Link?
