The Cubs 2 OSH Story: 75 Years in the Making

Hah! You beat me to it! The film was made 8 years ago SOOOO I'm of course self conscious BUT that Thumbnail image is easily probably one of the best airplane photos I've ever taken.
 
I have been enjoying the access to the online workshops too. Interesting stuff.
 
I was there. It was the trip of a lifetime for me! Great video. I saw our Cub in the video -- it was the yellow one!

Based on your signature.... wasn't it the GREEN one?
 
I enjoyed that tremendously. If I could afford two airplanes ...

It began life to end up as such but we went off the reservation and installed a Corvair conversion engine on the nose which is absolutely verboten as far as the kit manufacturer is concerned.

The man that designed this particular FWF package (including the handsome cowl) was scratch building his plane and those that looked at his noticed it was as good or better built than a kit version and spoke of how clean his build was. Soon they began calling it a "Cleanex"and later it became known as "The Wicked Cleanex" because of the aerobatics he flew in it with the 120 HP Corvair conversion on the nose. Google Corvair Cleanex for more info.
