    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.

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    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...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    This was a BUSA kit so I used the ribs provided in the kit, airfoil is a flat bottom Clark Y type and is 13 1/2% thick. The Tri Paced has a similar airfoil. Not flying aerobatics so the flat bottom provides plenty of lift at low speeds. The Champ has a NACA 4412 airfoil, it is slightly under...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Finally got around to painting the areas that the color was off yesterday. I need to put some white on top of the red before the paint work is complete. I plan to paint inside the cockpit black as shown on the photos below, more masking. Can't wait to get this thing put back together as I...
