When I win the lottery this weekend Joe will probably be the owner of this bird Only stipulation is he will have to take me up for flights when I'm in Colorado on Hunting trips

Thanks Charles.

I have about a months' worth of work based on my schedule. If I had an easy access to parts and the time I could probably have her in the air within a week.

The camera will be along for the ride!

Now I didn't build it but I just posted this in the model thread, does it look a bit familiar?

Beautiful bird Joe I always thought if I was ever able to get a plane I would start with an older Cub.

Well here it is folks. Completed the weight and balance the other day. Just a few more minor adjustments and she's ready to fly. I wanted to start the taxi tests this week but weather and schedule dictated otherwise.

Once I get the log books completed I'll send a copy to the FAA guy who hung the red tag on the aircraft. I'm also keeping my local office in the loop as they eventually will have the final word on all this.

Actually it's "N6" but I know where you're coming from. I think the aircraft originally had an NC registration but for some reason someone changed it. I am going to put 6 inch numbers on the rudder.

Joe, that looks real nice! Brought back some memories too; I managed to get a couple or three hours on an ex-USAAF Cub a few years back. It was a lovely little bus to fly, even though the cars below were travelling faster!
looking forward to your first-flight report!
Terry.
