Folks
I had the privilege of going to Oklahoma and visiting with a great group of guys there and tried to help Greg a little with his build.
L to R Cayden - training to become professional pilot, out of college and building his hours. We exposed him to the dark side of pure fun flying. I'm afraid he has been corrupted for life. Poor kid. Greg - building his dream cub. Brian - welder and general mechanical guru - can fix or engineer pretty much anything. Bill - new Cub guy, learning fast and fully corrupted. Me - general instigator of all corruption. Dave - fully corrupted and helping me corrupt others.
Gregs garage full of Cub. This is a "one off" kit from the founder of all Supercub Kits - Nick Smith, who is helping Greg get back in the air. Nick has gone way way over and beyond to help Greg. Thank you Nick!! There are some really good people in this world and Nick is one of them.
Aerodynamics 101. When not working on the Cub we spent a little time visiting about flying. Imagine that!
We built up the large heavy wires. #4 CCA Fatwire for the Battery to Master relay, to Starter Relay, then to Starter. #8 gauge from alternator to main bus etc
You have to love it when the hangar is full of model airplanes. These guys eat, sleep, and breathe flying.
Bill and Dave's Cub Crafters Top Cubs. When not flying these......
Dave's YAK. Wow man what a machine and Dave is an awesome pilot as is Greg and some other guys that were there visiting. Oh yea....we also had some great ping pong games. Dave clobbered me.
Greg's 1/4 scale J-3. Just great fun.
Greg let me fly it but I'm not very good so I had to keep it high and let Greg land it. He does great wheel landings with it. It is fun to watch him work.
We all got to watch Terry fly this IR equipped copter......
Then got to look through the googles to see what it looks like (not IR) but with real time video. Way way cool. Lots of technology there.

Dave was kind and trusting to let me fly his Cub so I gave Caden a ride. He will never be the same.
