Friend of mine took these with his cell phone last weekend. I am, of course the guy with the USMC shirt on.

Very good!


Semper Fi, and happy flying,

Looks great, big guy!!! Congrats!!!

CGr.

I am extremely pleased with the way this plane handles and flies. Hope to get her up again this weekend. Need to get a new fuel transfer pump for my flight box. I had the eletric one. the impeller in it gave out. I wanted to take the cub up for another flight, but couldn't fuel it. Had to empty the tank by disconnecting the vent line.

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">kind of a funny looking shirt. i'm used to the big USAF across the front of mine. very nice plane though, and congrats on the maiden. you sound like you're getting a little soft with your "electric" fuel pump. get a manual onelessmoving parts. i like thembetter.is that a fence like 50 or so feet out infront of you guys? </span></p>

Yeah, my next pump will be manual, the electric one came with the flight box. It lasted two years, not bad I guess. I have a manual pump for my gasers. Yes that is a fence! I have clipped the wires a couple of times! Luckily it's not electric. Runway is actually 250 feet wide. Fence is very hard to see sometimes. Sorry about you having to wear the Air Farce insignia across your chest . Are there no real men in your area? Just kiddin or course. Thanks for serving

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">you get her back in the air, or pack it up for the winter? i'm stuck in colorado for the NCO academy right now, but the wife said it snowed like crazy over yesterday and the night. can't wait to get home in a couple more weeks and get my cub in the air. will be a maiden from snow. any suggestions other than the usual? .40 size GP kit, O.S. .40FX motor. might be skis if i get around to buying some, otherwise, pontoon floats. (bunch of hippies around herekeep getting kicked out of fields. something about the noise and exaust)</span>

NCO academy. Wow I remeber that. No, not packing it away. I'm thinking about floats for it , just seems right for a cub. This is my first cub, so I don't have any suggestions, but have read that some guys use their floats for snow. We get snow here but not much. If you're running floats or skis. you might need more power than the 40, I would go with the OS 55AX, Super engine! Sorry to hear about the hippy's. That has to suck. They obviously never wore a uniform. Send em to afghanistan or looks like Korea is brewing. After a week they will complain no more about little things like noise.

We're pretty lucky.. we only have a few neighbors even close. But, we keep a tight watch on one that is a complainer, but he seems to complain more about the NJ Forestry planes than our RC planes. Nevertheless, we've started doing noise measurements and developing a database of club members and their planes containing the date, time, weather, type of plane, motor, exhaust, prop, and then the noise level using a calibrated noise meter. Never hurts to have such info available should the issue come up.

I am going to start a build thread on the Eureka Aircraft Baby Trouble Maker Kit (38" WS). We were discussing it in another thread. It should be fun and, hopefully as interesting as your Cub thread has been, Bill.

Hmmm.. sweatshirts? USCG? Mine keeps getting soaking wet from wading around in 6 feet of water..

The CG started the CWO academy about 8 years after I made CWO2. Now, all CWO selectee's go. It's in Yorktown, VA with a short stint on the USCG Barque Eagle. (google it.. Coast Guard war prize from WWII). I am sorry I missed it.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
