Anybody who has built or is building realizes what you've accomplished. No small feat. Looks good.

Congratulations on finishing such a beautiful Smith Cub, and welcome to the Flying Smith Cub Club ( soon to be ) . I hope you can get the enjoyment I have been having flying mine. I have over 220 hrs since July 06.

Congratulations on a beautiful cub, Gene. Still in the building phase so I know how much work it is. Great paint scheme. Very tasteful and elegant. When you have time it would be nice to see more pictures and details. Weight, features you put in, details of covering, panel etc.

Very Very nice, Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Hope to see it at New Holstein.

Beautiful plane....

Beautiful plane. I would be about to bust to fly it. Have you "hi-speed taxied" it around the field yet?
What prop did you finally use? Looks longer than mine.

Gene, that is absolutely gorgeous. I really like the paint scheme. May you enjoy thousands of hours of pure, unadulterated bliss in that beautiful bird.

Very nice, Gene, and congratulations on finishing it. Many start and many don't finish. Am closing in on finishing rebuilding mine, so I know the effort you put in.

I want to thank everyone for the nice comments. It really has been a labor of love and learning. The contributions made by the members of this website helped make it possible. Particularly when I was stuck with a difficult decision about something I knew very little about or was overwhelmed with too much info from other sources.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!
