60 messages while I was sleeping, this topic is going much faster than the Savage Carbon itself…
Oh oh, some sort of Scrappy, I like that !
The real Scrappy would probably kill my CPU and drop my FPS to a slideshow with its crazy glass cockpit…

What is the maximum number of Cub mods you can have in the hanger? it looks like you are trying to find out, which I think is a great thing 
It is like Christmas ever time I drop by.

I just sold a Cherokee 180 I had for 15 years to get the Cub! It was a great airplane, but I like low and slow open cockpit flying and wanted a modern instrument panel. I got the best of both with this 3GX equipped super Cub!

“Marge!”
“What Henry!”
“He’s lost his marbles!”
“What?”
“He’s stuck a Trabant motor in the front of a Cub!”
“Oh, he’s such a romantic Henry!”
