Greetings from Steamboat Springs Colorado. Although I'm new to the giant planes (a lot of stick time years ago with sailplanes and smaller power planes), I love the big birds and look forward to flying them. Just finishing a 1/5 scale Cub and a 1/4 scale super cub. Next on the building board is a 1/4 scale Beaver. All built as Alaskan bush planes.

Great! Here are the first two.

Both are ARF. I wish I had time to build board-up from plans. Although I'm finding out ARFs still take a lot of time to finish them "right", and I'm OCD about everything so it takes even longer.

Which ARF's? Thanks!

J-3 Cub is a Tower Hobbies w/ an OS FS-62V.
Super Cub is a Phoenix w/ a DLE-30.
Both were reasonable builds with acceptable quality components for the most part; meaning most were okay but some of the provided hardware is total junk, so ended up using better quality replacements where necessary.
