The J3 is basic and simple,... have you looked closely at a Spitfire or Hurricane ? ...these two have a monstrous engine, loads of gauges and systems and are as easy to fly as a wild bronco! but what a kick!

What made you decide to quit the Cessna?

A J3 doesn't sound too exciting, but it's nice for sightseeing. If I could get from Paris to Munich in an hour and a half I probably would have built a Cessna too. I like to go places.

I really like the 206, Cardinal RG, P210, and the Cutlass RG. Got my instrument ticket in the Cutlass. I love that airplane.

Fighters are cool too, but I like more dials and switches than they have room for. :D

I've got the spitfire dimensions. I am also working on laser cut 3d gauges at this point. They are non functioning...or at least were going to be until I saw Flight Illusion's vintage AH. Now I am reconsidering.

I'll dig them out for you this comming weekend if I get time. Depending on how much you are willing to spend I can put you in touch with a guy who makes the spade grips...about A$600-700...but solid as the original and beautiful!!
