Congrats on a job well done!

That's a great looking plane. What are the technical details? Are those slots or slats? Is that a -12 wing or an -18 wing? Looks like -18 gear, but I can't tell if it's AOSS or hydrasorbs. Is that a lumber rack I see? The rudder looks oversized - or is that just distortion from the camera lens? What's in the panel? Inquiring minds want to know!

Love the paint job. The darker colors used on the AK planes look great. Too much boring white down here in the south 48.

Very well done. You can tell alot of thought went into your plane. The dash is so clean and simple. The color's are striking and one of a kind.
Could you tell us more about the wings. How it flys and landing speeds ect. Almost a shame to put a moose in the back, but thats what its built for and will do a good job. Have fun and be careful.

When you changed the AOI did you also change the angle of the H. Stab?

It may be named Caribou Cruiser but it'll always be the Wolf Killing Machine to me. 
I really really like that panel. Less is more. Besides, digital is a word my Doctor uses and it makes me uncomfortable!!!!

Greg, wow! A beautiful finished airplane sitting there~!!!!!
Are slats the most fun new thing or what? You can HANG THERE, and she's still flying, no problem.
Nice to see a simple panel in a new Cub these days.
Did I miss the radio somewhere? You must have put it somewhere, because I heard you call "...Jackfish Traffic, Experimental XXXGP..." on 122.9 last week, and I knew it was you.
You Jackfish boys know how to do it right!!! Cool place to live, lots of good people around, as far as I can tell. Good on Ya.
More Photos?? I'm sure I am not the only one who wants you to hone your photo-post skill so we can see more. Thanks.
