Yippee! What the postman brought

Been having a small itch for a warbird but not really wanting to build a warbird, or at least none that are currently available. So I scratched my itch with a Bill Hempel ARF Cub warbird.. FedEx just dropped it off and not a single scratch that I can find.

I'm super jealous.

Did not see that one coming, interesting choice. Are you going to do a build thread on the plane.

Nope! I don't really see a point, everyone knows how a Cub is.

Did it stay in one piece? I am putting a NGH 38cc in this one, should fly well on it.

It did not, I still have the carcass if you need parts.

My flying buddy has a tiny e-flite balsa ARF of this plane. There was a full scale one at the airport the other day a couple club members were talking about. I think I know two guys that have their full scale cubs in the military scheme. I really like the recognition strips on the empennage and wings.
There was a Military Cub with LE slats, The guy used cub parts and plans to make his, but it’s certified not experimental. His work was immaculate. He had some certification issues, so it’s under his own make, and not the military model number. I'll have to dig up a photo, but it's in civilian colors.

Edit: here is the photo

That sucks. As it currently stands I don't need any parts, but, it is brand new unassembled. Maybe later.
