I like the scheme....maybe I'll do my 11EX that way except substitute Cub Yellow for the Green, and Grey for the black....HMMMM. She's a bit over my price range.
Lord, let me find the will

Bigger's what sealed the deal for me. BCSC fixed what kept me away from a Supercub.
A longer airframe suits bigger motors. I wonder what the topic Cub's CG is?

Jim, I put a set of slats on a Smith Cub (earlier version of Turbine Cubs of Wyoming). The slats slowed it down but I can't remember the numbers. It was a heavy airplane but flew very nice like it was lighter.

Yes Douten I will need your your bank name and account ��##
what is the maximum you can spare? In fact that is a good idea. If we get 10 guys to throw in $15K each we can all have fun. I have space in the hangar here at home. Russell should be good for 4 shares since he now winters in the Caymans and rubs lotion on his wife's butt side all day when he puts his fruity drink down
I haven't worried about Andy his Citabria is a flying collection of Dads stuff. Lost my Whelen led and my trickairs
Quit eyeballing that SL 40 son.

I can alleviate some of the speculation on this aircraft. It was indeed was built as a demonstrator for Turbine Cubs of Wyoming in the spring of 2009, and then sold at the Oshkosh show later that year. The current owner didn't fly it much himself after getting it home due to age and health issues, but did have another local pilot fly short flights regularly to keep it exercised. It's been hangared here in eastern Washington for most of its life and doesn't look like it's ever been off-airport. The 0-375 does have a rear mounted governor plate and the panel does have an EI manifold pressure gauge so it could be easily converted to a CS prop.
I haven't had a chance to go fly it myself yet due to the snow and ice fog we've had here in Yakima most of the last two months, but it did just go through an extensive CubCrafters annual inspection and is ready to go to a new home. Hopefully to someone who will fly it the way it was built to be flown.

Looks like a fantastic plane. Too bad I am broke.

Jim, Northern Lights Lodge has a similar paint scheme on their Supercub. And brakes.

Summits and some course Black Beauty mixed into the bedliner on the 8:50 might work better

Steve had the same thought as me. It was at JC in 2009 flown and being demo'ed by the Salt Lake Skywest pilot. No question it attracts attention. Nice plane

Jim,
Try this green on for size. All original, just needs a good dusting.

Ha, I helped restore one out of that same hanger, major undertaking but what a time capsule. This one came from there a few years ago.

I asked a friend who flies a Mackey built SQ. With his big motor and CS prop he's cruising at 105+ on 35s. It still does all the cool slow end stuff. The evolution of Cubs continues.

Good lord between Grass Patch Tom and you there are no pix that you can't come up with. I didn't bring my Rolls Royce hat so I am out .p
Pretty hard not to have an ear to ear in the back of that beast
The young wife had some neighbor ladies in for lunch today. I was painting some stuff in the garage until I hear this coming
Pretty hard not to run screaming into the backyard like a 4 yr old chasing an ice cream truck. The girls didn't get it. Pity
Now we have some folks coming for dinner and the B17 is tearing it up.
