This has been hanging out in the garage like this for the past several years. I think it's about time I got this thing finished up.

Good Lord, man! You're as bad as me! Time for the Cub to FLY !!!

looking at all the posts lately of old 1/2a R/C planes kinda bring back the warm and fuzzies of days long ago, i got a couple electrics, but flipping props and tweaking that needle, then listening to the engine scream as it pull the plane upward is a pretty cool thing.

Sweet looking. Hope it looks better finished.

No worries. Take your time, please..... You already have, and still have catching up to do. I have a Sig Hummer I had built sometime near the end of the 90's and it is just assembled and covered. Nothing else, no linkages, no servo mounting rails or such, bare! So I'm still up on you I am sure.... Laughing

I made a little progress today. I had some cub yellow monokote so guess what it will be covered with. So far just the wings and ailerons.

fit90 Sun May 14, 2017 6:54 pm

It has a Norvel Bigmig .061 r/c for power.

Nice job Bob! You're on a roll now!!! Thumbs Up

Thank you Roddie,

If I continue at this blistering pace much longer I might start wearing a helmet.

Hello! How cute that goes step by step, you will do 4 channels true ?.
I remain attentive to your progress! Smile

fit90 Sun May 14, 2017 10:10 pm

Hello Mauricio,

Yes, this will be four channels. If it works out, it will be my first four channel plane that uses an engine smaller than .10. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I would be thrilled to be able to do tough and goes with a 1/2a sized plane.

MauricioB Sun May 14, 2017 10:29 pm

Okay, what I can collaborate on will be a pleasure. Do you have pictures of the installation of the servos?

MauricioB Sun May 14, 2017 10:32 pm

I have built many sizes of aircraft, these small ones have a special charm !, I assure you that the pleasure of enjoying the march of these small engines and see the model in the sky generate a huge pleasure!

fit90 Sun May 14, 2017 10:32 pm

I haven't gotten that far yet. The ailerons will each have a separate, wing mounted servo. The remaining servos will be rail mounted in the fuselage. I will work out the details after covering. I will be sure to post pictures.

MauricioB Sun May 14, 2017 10:37 pm

Ahh, you will pareerá sure to my Falcon .... here I leave you some photos!...You know that the Falcon does not have flaps but I decided at the time to do them and it was really right to have taken that decision!

fit90 Mon May 15, 2017 7:01 am

Mauricio,

I love looking at your planes. Your workmanship is extraordinary. The radio installation in your Falcon is very neat and tidy. Thank you for sharing.

pkrankow Mon May 15, 2017 7:26 am

9g and 5g servos are awesome for practically everything. They make neat installations easy and straightforward.

Separate servos on each wing for ailerons/flaperons make life much better. Slow is important especially if you are still not a master of RC.

I like the Yellow / Nice job on the wing Popcorn

Are you using Micro or mini servos ? I need to find me some Micros for a couple planes i am wanting to get in the air this year. Thanks for the update keep it coming !! Smoking

lol, you need the black lightning bolt on it! It's easy to make, only two pieces of trim.

Mark Boesen Thu May 18, 2017 9:37 am

oops, i stand corrected, it does drop down a little...I've seen it the other way so often i thought it was normal?

fit90 Thu May 18, 2017 4:07 pm

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the nice diagram. I am going to add the blacklightning bolt when I am done with the yellow. Your diagram has me thinking that I should add an old style NC registration number, too.

fit90 Sun May 21, 2017 9:32 pm

I got the elevator halves joined and hinged and the rudder hinged. I wanted to do more but decided to play with engines Saturday instead of work on the Cub. I am hoping to get some time during the week to work on the cub.

fit90 Mon May 22, 2017 5:29 pm

All the hinging is done, except for gluing the surfaces in place. The covering is almost done. Maybe I will get a chance to work on it a little tonight.
