Hi folks:
So I guess I've been lurking for a while now, reading about people's exploits while flying Cubs, and their trials and tribulations building them.
I'm particularly interested in what I've read about the Dakota 18-180 or -160. I like the fact that the Super 18 is out there flying around, and that the kits use (mostly) the same parts.
There doesn't seem to be much info out there from people who've put the kits together. Can anyone share some experiences? Extract from build instructions?
I'm also quite interested in the North Star. I live in Ontario, not too far from Custom Flight, so logistically they'd be really good to deal with.
Especially considering where the Cdn $ is.
People on this site have praised the North Star's flying qualities (with some reservations about the gear), so I'd appreciate a bit more info about their experiences putting together the kits and especially any insight (samples?) on the documentation provided.
I'm getting to that spot where the kids are big enough to be independent- yet still be interested in a project with their father- giving me enough time to take something like this on. Interested in these kits in particular as I'm hoping to spend more time assembling rather than designing and fabricating parts.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
