The prop I have is borrowed from Littlewing, it's a cruise prop, When I have the money I will be looking for a good deal on a Catto climb prop that somebody wants to sale because they want the newest version. This prop should be good to break in the fresh overhaul. They are very busy at the Faa I think I just caught them at the right time. He even said my timing for the call couldnt have been better.

Way to go Greg, your hard work and nearly 4 years of perservernece has finally paid off in spades, what a beautiful plane. Enjoy your new Cub, fly safe and I look forward to seeing you among the clouds. I'm so happy for you!
Thank You Friends. I want to thank my wife for putting up with me the last 3.5 years, actually 4 considering the events leading up to the project. I must thank God foremost. In early November 2011 on a sad evening I was thinking about buy a bent up airplane that a couple of friends an I had owned at auction. That night I prayed to God for a miracle. The next morning I saw an add on barnstormer for frame repair. I called the number and began to talk to the man on the other end. I'm a bit long winded as you guys know. Anyway I was asking how much he would charge if I bought a bent frame to have him straighten it. 5k. Then he said do you know who I am? No. I'm Nick Smith and he began to tell me about his old kit building days. Long story short he new my friend Bill and forward me the project and a great engine as it turns out for cheep. Thank You Nick! Anyway God listened to me that night even though I don't deserve it. I got my miracle along with the help of you hundreds of friends who have stepped in there here and there to push me down the trail. Thank You Friends! To you who might be like me and want to fly, pray and don't ever give up! I have reclaimed the Sky, but I'll share. Very Happy and Blessed Greg clawing4sky Campbell
Greg, the entire Supercub.org Medical Matters team passes our sincere congratulations on a difficult job well done. You have kept your eye on the ball, you have perservered and you are now blessed with a beautiful airplane. I am so proud of you, brother. Very proud.
Thank You. I flew a couple of hours yesterday. Still working to trim just a bit. It is really windy here this week so it has slowed my test program. It is so great flying it though. She feels really good setting up to land. My flap spring is a bit strong, when I pull that last notch, it's really a pull. Hoping it will stretch out a bit so that when I'm dumping the flaps its a little less work. I thought about leaving them extended in the hangar to stretch it a bit. No oil leaks. She's not burning any oil now so I think she's starting to break in. Still plenty of things that can be better, that I will pretty up on those days I'm not flying. Appreciate you guys. Greg
So I have had my Dad’s password throughout the build, and I want to thank all the people that helped my Dad make his dream a reality. So proud of you Dad! Love Hayden.
Hey Friends. Just a short update. I have my 40 test hours complete. As Cal said I'm "Flung From The Nest". I'm free to move about the country! . I really like my Cub. I think it flys like a dove out of Heaven! I have really enjoyed carving up the sky again. Thank You to all of you who were there for me on this build. Have a great week! Greg
