Hello Everyone

[piper-pilot]

Hi
Wow, it looks like I've spent over 15 hours looking at all the great builds, tips and tricks.
It is amazing what you guys can do!
I'm new to model engine building (one wobbler so far) so this site is going to be my new hang out.
I look forward to learning lots about model engine building.

This is great!

Thanks for having me.

I actually fly a 1942 Piper Cub. The military version of the J-3 Cub.
Do you fly?

I wish! "piper", but i have always loved light planes, they are so graceful but only models for me I'm afraid. Love the cubs tho' prefer the high wing idea.

It's a lot of fun.
What type engines do you build?
Do you have any postings of what you've built?

(I have previously posted this, but will repeat for the new guys).

This one is for the remote control airplane crowd.
This is a photo of my buddy's 1/2 size Piper Cub.

Used a chainsaw engine, and prop manufactured by a real airplane prop manufacturer.

Wingspan was 18 foot.

Weight was about 170 lbs.

That would be the L-4 would it not (or grasshopper in some circles) Thres's nothing like sitting on a tank full of gas, of course those that are old enough to remember the Ford Model "T" knows all about that. :big: I have a model of the J-3 in 1/3 scale that I have considered building in the military version but good lord is that thin going to be expensive to cover th_confused0052 Welcome aboard 8)
