That was awesome! The most simple GA aircraft with the most complex piece of GA avionics! I LOVE it!

Several years ago there was an airline pilot with way too much time and money on his hands (pre-deregulation ). There was an article on the AOPA Pilot about his single seat Super Cub. It seems he had to remove the rear seat to fit all of the remote mounted avionics. His Cub had an FD-108 flight director and a PN-101 HSI, which back then was the "state of the art" - like the Garmen 1000 is today. Basicially, his Cub had the same avionics package as the B727 he flew. Now that was a waste.

Rookie job.

An expert would have at least photoshopped away the reflection of the round dials in the left window, while a real pro would have put in a reflection of the display... that would have been impressive!

Actually I left it like that on purpose as an easter egg for those who look carefully enough

(DOH!!!!)

Here it is fixed.

The only thing more disgraceful than a photoshopped glass cockpit in a cub would be....

...a photoshopped nosewheel on a cub!!

Don't get any ideas, dude.

I was actually going to, but it's been done for real. It was some sort of WWII reconaissance project.

It's been done. I saw one back in the late 60's or early 70's. UGLY.

I've seen this monstrosity. It's uglier in person. Taken from someone's reply on that thread: (just in case you don't want to read down to the bottom)

"That there is the 'el Buteo.' I parked next to it for a summer. The owner is a nature fanatic where it comes to whales and eagles. Apparantly he knows every nest in South Central Ak.

As for the whales, this is where it gets interesting. The leading edge is reproduced from the leading edge of the pectoral fins of the whale. Theoretically to generate lift. The plastic eastereggs on the fuselage depict barnacles on the whale body. I havent learned what the fur and cardboard on the wings is supposed to do. "

It's from an old Grumman American advertising brochure from the 70's.
