Enjoy the pics below from the last Sunday morning's flying @ Tanah Jambu....

Featuring Jerry's 100cc Gasoline 1/3 Pipercub Clipped Wing... 100" Wingspan....


First wing section out....


Maj Irwan taking a pose with the wing...


Hj Zaini taking out the fuse.


Fuselage took the entire length of the vehicle it was transported in.

Took a whole crew to get it out...


Finally the whole lot out of the car


Phew...this thing is a giant!

Now thats one big prop 28x10!!!


Pat and Hj Zaini piecing up the aircraft


Owner Jerry overseeing the assembly


Part of the fun is being the spectator.... wathcing this beast built up


One of the cylinders of two of the DL100 Gasoline engine.... Horizontal boxer layout.


This should be plenty strong to hold down the gigantic prop

It was indeed a very hot and sunny day!!


It was prolly approx 1100hrs when this was pieced up


Very excited owner....!!


Cute?! Hardly....this is a beast!!


Final bits to setup.... macam mechanic keta ja... mau ada trolly bed!


Last parting shot.... compared to a typical 50 size airplane

Stay tuned for flight videos etc....

Nice Cub!!!!

Hope to see She flies @ the next Funfly.....

Facing into headwind ready for full throttle...


We've got rotation... tail wheel is lifting off the ground... Main wheels light


And we've got lift off.....


A steep climb angle of rotation

Away she goes into the sky...


She pulls away out of the range of my focal length of a mere 55mm


Approach for landing


Almost touchdown...


Touchdown on mother earth...safe n sound...

Congrats Jerry on a safe and successful maiden. Now we're waiting for that Giant Katana to make its debut.
