Campbell Field Airport (9VG), Pair of Piper Cubs Departure

[unapro3]

Love it, I want one......but I can't afford one......so I'm building one, not a J-3 but a Bearhawk Patrol, it's like a J-3 on roids.

@unapro3 - If you can't afford one, you surely can' afford to build one.

@AceLockCo the average price for a J-3 Cub in good condition is around $45K US.I can build a Bearhawk Patrol for around $30K. The Patrol out performs the J-3 in every aspect but still has the same "style" and will be a brand new aircraft, apart from the overhauled engine.

@unapro3 - I have seen Cubs go for a lot less then that, especially in this economy. You could find a nice Cub for under $30. That being said, I know you are never going to build a Bearhawk Partol for the price you have in your head. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor, but remember that most home built airplanes never actually make it all the way to actually flying.

And now we want to build made-in-China airplanes with glass panels, to always fly IFR at 3500'+ AGL except when takeing off or landing.... May God (and/or Wilber and Orvill Wright) have mercy on us....
