Alright! Alright! Alright! Because I don't have enough to do, getting my new PAU 35% IMAC plane in the air by the beginning of Feb., work, etc. I decided I needed to also turn a giant box of wood into a Super Cub! So... Here we go!
PREFACE:
I love my aerobatic planes, I love IMAC, but I also love having a tail dragger to slow fly, practice some STOL stuff, and do some lazy aerobatics. I've wanted a big super cub for a long time, and the Balsa USA 1/3 is the one that looks right, and I know I could've bought a 1/4 scale ARF, but (just the way I am) I would've stripped the covering and made it look like some bush plane that's actually flying out there. So, the road to the plane I want is this kit, and building it, which I must say even in the first few steps, I really see why people talk so highly of building one yourself. There's definitely some gravity about spending money on a kit and now knowing that if it's going to be what you want, it must be done right and with care.
The second thing is this, there are a few threads out there on this build, but they peter out before they're finished. My goal... GOAL... is to have this complete for at least static display by the last weekend in March for a Giant Scale Fun Fly here in TX. Will it happen? Probably. Also, I live in an apartment, so now that I've started... I have to keep my project room like an O.R. and also complete each task within a few days so that I don't have stuff laying around. Incentive to complete it and not let it sit.
Okay, so here go...
