    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    The span vents didn't look right based on the three view so I pulled the enlarged three view down from the rafters and measured. The measurement indicate it should be 3/4" in diameter rather than the 1 1/4" so two more were made. I plan to attach these with two sided carpet tape. Right or...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    More scale details. Made a pitot tube assembly out of 3/32" aluminum TIG filler wire and a few piece of brass sheet. I drilled the velocity tube and put a taper it to make it look like a tube. I think I will center punch the static tube and color the marks with black the simulate holes. Also...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    The spinner came out nice, much more scale looking. We'll see how the judges pick it apart because it is still a little larger than scale. It looks like the prop hubs on on models are larger than the full scale props so it going to look OK I hope! Polished with 220, 400, 800, 1200, 1500...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I have decided to enter the Champ into the scale judging competition at the up coming NASA Fall Classic event in less than three weeks. There are a few changes that i need to make to improve the scale details. This change is to the Cub Hub spinner. The Champ spinner is quite small as shown in...

    Oh and by the way, three planes ended up in the beans and the Champ wasn't one of them!

    Flight line on Saturday during the event. I had a great time talking with other fliers with similar interests. Jeff Clombs flew in with the Rans M21 that he build. Jeff was pattern guy back in the day, I remember seeing him in a booth at Toledo cutting foam cores with a CNC hot wire cutter...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Aero Graphics cut the NO STEP, DO NOT PUSH, and NO HOLD graphics from their standard set of exterior graphics for the Super Cub. I know where the NO STEP goes, anyone have an idea where the rest belong? Only exterior I found on the Super Cub drawing site were for a military PA18.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Traveling to the CORKS scale contest this weekend in Columbus OH. The rules state you must have a pilot figure if the pilot is visible in the full scale airplane. Used 1/2" parachute buckles and 1/2" black nylon strap to this I Flt Talles figure on the front seat. Must be removable as the...

    Prototype! Fix it now because you will look at it every time you fly it and will just pee you off!

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    The AR remote switch worked a few times then quit. I opened the fab and found the 27A 12v battery at 8 volts. Amazon delivered this today. Never heard of this size battery before, half the size of a AAA.

    Heading out to Barber Airport in Alliance OH this morning for an abbreviated Warbirds Over Alliance event. The event is canceled on Sunday and rain is coming latter today. Looks like the wind is 7 to 14 MPH so I don't how much flying I will get in, maybe more BS than flying. It's about 90...

    The flight line was always busy during the day but never overly crowded. Very enjoyable day. Folks in attendance thought it was a little light, I don't know this my second visit to the event.

    Traveled to the Wally's Squadrons 33th Annual fly-in yesterday in Summersville WV (Speed Trap Capital of USA). It's a 3 hour drive for me left at 5:00 am and returned home 7:00 pm. Great day and great weather. Wednesday is the first official day of the event but many folks show up the Sunday...
