It is almost instantaneous. They give you an American address for their Niagara Falls location, and give you a "Unit Number" which is how they know the parcel is for you. They charge you about $4.00 per parcel (cost is dependant on the size of the parcel).

Looked up the link and worked my way through it looks very promising. Did the calculations and it looks like it will cost me 20 bucks to get to Mississauga so that I can pick it up. Thanks for help.
Dennis looked up your location boy you quite a ways up there. Did some work in the area. Couple of years back I had to rebuild the removable bridge in Port Carling when I was still working. Boy that is a beautiful area.

I have been really pumped in getting this cub going and I don't know "whyeeeee???" Got this really awesome Extra but all I can think about is this CUB :confused:. Is it a sign of things to come ??? Old age??? Dementia??? :cautious:. Nah!!! I'm just diggin' the CUB scene man :cool:.


Got a bit of the little detail stuff done that will give me ease of battery maintenance and peace of mind knowing the wing wont come off in flight. Going to use Hysol to mount the LE wing block back in place. I manufactured a hard carbon steel brace for the jury struts and soldered it in place. Radio is in and functioning but still waiting for the choke servo and two sattelites that get installed in the fuse cabin sides. The Xoar prop adds a nice touch. Waiting for a new Rcexl ignition and cut off switch to get here as well.

Looking good. Me like that prop! That switch may get a bit dirty on the bottom, might want to make a cover plate for it.

Was thinking about doing that but right now I'm still trying to decide if I am going to fill in the hole for the old switch location or make a tool kit compartment and door. Plane got a bunch of clamps on it right now while the hysol cures for the next 24 hours.

Lol I gotcha. Yeah #33 is refered to as the good electrical tape. Some other stuff out there I think it’s #59 that absolutely sucks. Once it’s below like 50 degrees outside the 59 stuff becomes hard and brittle and will not stretch like it needs too.
