[@The762nato]

This is the kind of airplane I've been looking for ! I use to work on VW engines .. ! Where is it now ?

[@dennythomas8887]

your mini cub looks like a ton of fun to fly. I got my ticket way back in 73 in a Cessna 120, and this thing makes that look like a complex airplane....lol

[@williamdavis9289]

If Harley Davidson made a airplane . Would you fly in it?

[@bassmith448bassist5]

Couldn't see a thing. That camera moved constantly!!!!!!

[@emanueldavila85]

Are you using the timer as your fuel gauge?

Emanuel Dávila nope. I have fuel-sight gauges at the wing root.

[@TimDonk]

Are plans still available for this plane? I can't seem to find them.

[@Prototypemech]

Tim Donk this is a one-off plane built off scaled-down piper j3 plans. There arent any plans of this plane.

[@TimDonk]

Prototypemech Damn. That's a sweet little plane. Too bad the build wasn't documented. Back to the drawing board I guess.
