Nice, the view is about the same relative size as a AH2 cockpit view when zoomed back to see instrument panel. I was thinking about complaining about the small view, but that is a perfect example.

My wife likes the cub but I am partial to the pony myself.  I also wanted one when I was a kid lol.  I guess from what I have read they are prety involved in building over 100 hours.  So it will be for a late bday probably or xmas shes not quite 2 yet but they do sell rockers for them also.

I don't think that you would fit...

Buy the planes...  Scale them up so an adult can sit in them.  Power the wheels with a small lawnmower engine.  Then you have a great Parade Plane!  The Shriners with the little cars and mopeds will be hugely jealous!

now that right there is an AWESOME idea.  I have about 6 briggs kicking around been looking for a use for them lol.

so I ordered the pony plans and hardware a few mins ago, being shipped out friday will post pics when I get it and as its put together

I bet with a little math you could upscale the plans and make yourself a nice looking simpit.

I would do the Piet and put a 5 cly round on the front, it made a real sexy bird, a bit nose heavy, and a little slow but it sure did fly good.  And my brothers youngest would love it.
