    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    And so the painting festivities begin. Put some primer on various parts today including the cowl. Tomorrow I hope to turn some of these parts Daytona White. The cowl, spinner and landing gear bungie covers will get turned Pontiac Red possibly on Monday along withe the fuselage. It is hard to...

    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.

    Piper cub 1/4 scale wing washout

    You want less incidence at the tips so that the stall occurs near the fuselage rather than the tip. You are correct you looking for zero at tip. Two degrees is a normal amount.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    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...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I cut a few pieces of bias tape for the rudder leading transition to the fuselage. It took a couple of tries before ) got a successful piece. As you have learned cutting a straight line is a PITA.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I use a roll of 3/4" per wing, might take three rolls to complete the airframe Two inch tape on the leading edge and around the bow to the aileron. I use the 1" tape on the rudder and stab leading and trailing edges.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Well after 5 hours of sanding and 3 hours spraying, the wings are 7AC yellow. Finally getting the hang of this paint. I will let the wings cure for a day or two before masking for the N numbers. Might shoot the Cherokee plug tomorrow with white acrylic enamel paint. Then more on to painting...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I thought you had already bought tape some time ago? This was about the time you mentioned the 3mm pinking shears on Amazon. I bought a spar pair already, I think my first has another plane in them before they are worn out.

    About 90% there with fitting to the fuselage. Still need to add a scoop on the bottom as shown in the photo.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    The 2" wide tape would be used on the wing leading edge for 1/3 scale. Here are a few files from the Super Cub, 2" tape is used on full scale so 3/4" tape would be the approximate correct 1/3 size. I don't think you can go wrong using 3/4" for most of the plane. I paint on PolyBrush before...
