This is painful it is not quite 50 degrees and raining again still have the heat on in the car and Xpress needs air. I am jealous. Just came back form South Carolina and it was sunny and 80 degrees plus. I need to move.

Come to Texas. No building season here. Just a few random days with really cold temps during winter.

Thanks for the invite but a 40% cost for exchange is very painful and to believe a couple of years back we were 3% above your dollar.

Spent the weekend getting a new to me Hangar 9 Super Cub ready. I've wanted to put together a tundra plane using PRBushwheels setup for a couple years. A guy at the club was selling a nearly new Super Cub so I decided to jump on it. The PR Bushwheel setup is sweet! 8.75" main gear, tundra tailwheel on leaf spring and machined aluminum gear, and spring loaded shocks instead of the stock rubber band system. She's loaded and ready to maiden tomorrow morning!

Spent all day and most the evening getting the radio and batteries installed in the extra. Got it all finished with a preliminary balance. Batteries are charged and the fuel tank is full. Went to do a pre flight tune with the cowl off and what do ya know. I must have cracked the spark plug insulator some how so it's off to the auto parts store first thing in the am and will have to pre flight tune at the field. But Hey! I'm GOING OUT FLYING! A GASSER!!!.

The entire package is made by PR Bushwheels in Alaska. There's a link in my original post. Make sure you are sitting when you look 'cuz it ain't cheap! ($385 for everything pictured) but it is high quality and worth every penny to me.

Thanks it really looks good but for that kind of money it had better look good and the quality had better be there and best of all it is American made and will last a long time. Keep us up to date.

Well it is all covered except for the fuselage and the finishing stripping or what ever comes to mind. Need to assemble the the plane and find the CG and then make the necessary changes to make it balance and then cover the fuselage.
