RE: Military colors only at warbird meets?
I have gone through this argument before with my yellow J-3 Cub at warbird meets. The yellow J-3's did fly at first in their original color "yellow". They were CAP planes. They hunted Sub's off our coast's and were very successful. Google it and read up on some history of the famous little "yellow" J-3 Cub. Eddie "WWII surplus L-4s or J-3 Piper Cubs were flown in Air Force silver or original Cub Yellow with CAP insignia. This example was donated to the Air Force Museum by the CAP unit in nearby Xenia, Ohio. "

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
I just knew you would get an extra set for me!!! I probably need to order a set since they will be no more. Glad you got them. They really help soften the landings even more with the bungee gear and air up tires and looks good too. Thanks, Eddie

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
SunDevilPilot, I called Dubro about the 1/4 cub air-up tires/wheels/hub caps set. He said they had a few sets left and when they are gone thats it- no more. He said there was no dispute with Goodyear on that product, they just started making the foam products which are lighter which he said everyone wants lighter. He said the pricing would be the same as the 1/4 foam set. Thanks, Eddie

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build
SunDevilPilot, Dubro still sells the J-3 Cub air up valve treaded tires/wheels/cub hub cap. You will have to call them direct as they cannot advertise them or sell through a dealer because goodyear had a dispute with them over putting the goodyear name on the tire. I bought a set some time back by calling them about a set. I just bought a set on ebay a couple of months back for my H9 J-3. They work so much better on landings to soften it out along with the bungee gear. Thanks, Eddie

I have since removed the 8 oz of lead from the motor mount on my Hanger 9 1/4 J-3 Cub. I am running the DLE 20 with a custom Jtec muffler and the 6 volt nicad 2400 pack is stuffed under the floor up front below the fuel tank. Balances just right @ 4 1/2" back and flys great. Thanks, Eddie

VJ, Eddie here in OKC, OK. I have the same Hanger 9 J-3 Cub. I run the DLE 20 in mine. It has plenty of power and using a Zoar 16/8 prop. I know some of us are using a 17/6 Zoar also. Mine balances latteraly pretty well also. I fly mine about 1/2 throttle most of the time unless for a loop or etc. Mine weighs about 16 1/2 #'s without fuel. I wish you the best and get on here with us and visit. It is soothing. Thanks, Eddie

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???
Every body will have to either get different springs or change over to O'RINGS or make up some bungee cords. The china springs stretch out and won't recover. I had the same problem after about 10 flights. I converted mine to O'RINGS and it is fine. Eddie of OKC

RE: GP Waco?
Erans, That engine looks like a perfect fit. Since you are already familar with the the engine, you should have a great adventure with the Waco now. You are right on the floating. I have my idle set as low as I can get it and just ldle it on the downwind and cross wind and final and I get some good landings. Got to get mine charged and fly it more. It is 100* everyday now in Oklahoma City so we are fighting heat/enjoyment. I love air conditioning!!!!!!! Eddie

RE: WACO YMF
Jaybird, I used a super fine line ink marker to make the lines for the door and cargo lid on my GP Waco along with the handles and hinges supplied in the decal sheet. The door pattern outlines are in one of the back pages in your manual. I just used the measurements and used a bendable plastic ruler to hold in place to do the lines. I first made a small ink dot at the end points and drew from dot to dot without stopping for a nice straight line. If you mess up, you can take it off with alcohol and start over. When finished don't mess with it until it dries. It will still come off if you rub on it, so I just try to keep from cleaning close to those lines. Thanks, Eddie

RE: No Fly area - St. Charles, Illinois Fri- Sat?
[quote]Actually this nonsense started after 9/11 by a decision of the Bush administration. At the time, it made sense given the hysteria (remember the directions to buy plastic and duct tape?). The strange thing is that being a AOPA member, I get the e-mail way ahead (days) indicting where and when the president will visit... Now, since it was imposed by a Republican administration, it will not be brought down by a Republican administration either. So, do not expect to see this change in 2016 (next chance to have a Republican administration.) My guess is that we will have to learn to live with it, and thank GeorgeW.

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???
Hidaven, I thought I could keep the stock landing gear springs also. I used robart gear on my previous 100" J-3 w/o-rings. I had a deadstick on my new J-3 and set it down a little harder than I wanted and bounced a couple of feet back into the air. This bounce was on the right gear. It stretched the chinese spring 1/2 " and ruined it. I tried to find a replacement spring at the hardware store but with no luck. I converted it over to the 4/40 bolt/o-ring style as mentioned earlier in this forum and it works awesome as I am used to. If you bounce it just ever so much to hard, the china spring is done as you will find out. I have attached some pic's of how another flyer in this forum did his. I did mine similarly, only used shorter bolts. I then re-installed the factory bungee covers. Congrats on your maiden, it looked awesome!!! I'll bet you are happy now. Did it float as I had stated above? Mine weighs 16 1/2 #'s so yours is a little heavier because of the electric's. Eddie

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???
With the 106" wingspan it will float for a long ways. On my maiden I had a dead stick at about 300' altitude because of idle set too low and had a 3200' runway. I flew it south dead stick for about 1/8th of a mile and turned around to line up on the runway with about 100' altitude and it finally touched down about 1/8th mile north which is over a quarter of a mile dead stick. It is a floater guaranted.... Eddie

RE: Hangar 9 1/4 Scale Piper Cub ARF???
Blitz, You just need to make the opening a little larger as in my pic's I posted to let the inlet air flow through the engine head/ fin area. Mine may have a larger opening for the exit also. The important part of the cooling is inlet air through the fins around the engine head and plenty of exit hole to get the hot air out of the cowl ..... My J-3 operates fine like I have done it.
