lol foamies and CMP , i know how you love CMP

.
Because I fly mostly warbirds (with rotating gear ) , my planes are balanced upside down , the tail areas have been at a min 13!QUOT! , therefore short dowels wont work for me .
The long dowels I have are 26" long. The shortest is 10"... I use those for side to side balance. The other dowels is 13" and is used for smaller planes.
I have no Warbirds at this time until Hanger 9 starts making Axis Planes. I bought the Hanger 9 J-3 because I flew the real one many times, and my wife though it was a good idea to keep the good memories alive with my experiences. So I guess I can say technically, that the J-3 Cub is a Warbird.
I looked it up on the Net and there are records that a J-3 once shot down a Stork in WWII. I wonder how that happened? The observer must have used his side arm at close range. Hmmm, I was also shocked to find that the Luftwaffe also used the J-3 Cub in Denmark. [8D] I might repaint my Cub in Luftwaffe Colors in a few years. It will be a great conversation starter, and it won't be just another Cub.
So I guess I can say I actually flew a Warbird lol.
I also bought the PNP Pulse so I can get the low wing practice until Great Planes, Goldberg or Hanger 9 starts making some German WWII or WW1 Planes.
I just Voted today... thank God that's over with. I'm tired of the negitive political phone calls! [:@]
