Just six mouse-clicks away from release (touch wood). :)

But that'll be tomorrow morning (Eastern time). After I've had my coffee. :engel016:

I've never been so happy to life in the Pacific Time zone. I can sleep in while you have your coffee. ;)

Hey, while we're waiting, if ya haven't been to the real Cubcrafter's site. here's a link www.cubcrafters.com Go to the video section and they've got a pretty impressive video of the 2010 Super Cub doing a Really short take-off followed by a very steap climb-out. There is also some cool videos of competions in Valdez and this guy who's got "Got Rocks" painted on the coweling... This guy does some real crazy landings and take-offs. Robin

Thanks Lawdawg...That was a real treat. I'm not positive but the L-21 thats in quite a few of his pictures and the young pilot are no more...they were on there way back from a tour of some Glaziers and come across a huge beached Whale, and while filming at low altitude, the young man lost airspeed and stalled er into the ground. I think his parents still maintain his web site with all the picture.

The young man in question was Shaun Lunt, a gifted photographer among other things. The red and white L-21 Extreme in the package is loosely modeled around his aircraft - but only loosely. It was a very good-looking Cub, imho.

Mmmm, this is good coffee.... :)

Yep, I thought there were some hints/ a nod to
Shaun's plane. Lonnies too maybe??
I am stoked.

@rsharrard, I am glad you liked. Great stuff for sure.

I remember reading about that and going to the site, shortly after the accident. What a terrible lost and tragedy.
