Go to simmarket, shouldn't need a link to find it? I'm also getting a download error message? hummmmmm?

I'm going to wait for the A2A version.

I'm going to wait for the A2A version.

Same here i think - it is just too simular to the Grasshopper which is very good but with so many other great products (like the Sibwings Birddog) soon to be released im reluctant to go for it - unless of course some screenshots convince me otherwise!!! I'm easily tempted!!

Does this link work better?

And plenty of screenshots there.

The Grasshopper doesn't have floats, or skis. The J-3 also has fewer polys, revised flight dynamics, different instruments, adjustable gloss for paint schemes via the alpha in the paint kit, and there's probably a few more things in there.

The "Flitfire" includes a Franklin-engined version, plus the three-piece windscreen which was common on early Cubs.

Other than that, they are indeed similar.

Looks very nice!

Pitty that twin fuse monstrosity wasnt included. I kinda liked it!

Hi Mike - tx - good news about the reduced polys.

I'm going to wait for the A2A version.

I'm waiting for that one also!! I've enjoy everything that Mike has done; and I'm sure I'll enjoy this one.

I’ll have it up on SkyUnlimited shortly. Now back to work on the web-pages.

Looks like a well-done birdie, and the price is definitely right. I got no time for airliners - literally - so when I fly, I like a simple ride. Doesn't get much simpler than a Cub!

Hi Mike

I said i was easily temped and after your polite sales pitch I bought the J-3. Not just because of your excellent description but for:-

1. the good value pricing.
2. I have flown a J-3 a few times.
3. I really apprechiated your gift of the freeware Mini Max.

I must say that the J-3 is a good as the Grasshopper - if not better due to the float and ski versions.

I do hope that we see more repaints on this than on the Grasshopper.

Just one small moan - shame we dont have a 2 POB version.

Otherwise well done

I should also mention that there is an alternative prop texture in the texture folders, for those who like the blurred-blade look - which can also be used on the L-4.

Yes - that blurred look is great. Just enough
