    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    The Falcon 25X9 carbon fiber prop arrived, this was need to check the final fitment of the spinner. The spinner was originally cut to fit a 24x8 wood prop for the 3W 56 twin, that was awhile ago. I had to sand the cowl and spinner down, there were small imperfections that looked like very...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Get the MEK out and clean it off and start over. Are you trimming the top covering with scissors? I would recommend cutting the top layer of covering further back to the center of the surface so the pinking tape covers it up.

    Put the white paint to the fuselage plug today. The local paint supply had gallons of white PPG Delstar acrylic enamel on sale for $50per gallon. Must have been a fleet color because they transfer from 5 gallon pails into 1 gallon cans. It is discontinued now but works great, that's what we...
